Just ordered Eldrad Ulthran. Mainly because he's a cool looking mini but also because It will help me smash my mates

Wow your color choices and painting abilities are great I can't wait to see you add washes and start thinning down your paint with a little water.
It will take a few more coats but wont look so thick on the figure.

@ hacknslashgamer

Thanks, u really think my painting is good?

Yew Eldrad arrived, i'll post some pics soon.

Here are my pictures of Eldrad Ulthran, Farseer of Ulthwe.

Overall he's pretty good I reckon. I like how I did the Staff of Ulthamar. All bleached bone parts are pretty messy though.

hey they look good man, its always nice seeing other peoples work. i think all you are missing here is a wash and some highlighting but you did a good job coating the models. one question.
Are you using a Primer on your models? They look like they are not primed.

 

[Traitoris Extremis]

oh and by the way great job on your soul stones they look like gems.

I'm not sure that you can get it in Aus but i'll try and find it. and about drinking it....maybe later :laugh:



Sounds good as well as long as it ain't toxic or burns kinda thing like brake fluid crap or whatever it is lol.

Also would either Simple Green or Purple Power actually get rid of the gloss varnish on the figures as well?

You can buy Simple Green at Bunnings. Nice looking Eldar models!

 

[King_of_eldar]

yeah they're all primed, chaos black or skull white.

Also thanks, I thought I was too good if u read my first ever post on this log.

yeah I called bunnings a few days ago and they said they had some lol.

Heya. I used to have a huge Eldar army so i have a soft spot for these guys .

Nice work on the models. I have noticed a few things. For your "bone" parts the paint looks a little too thick. Also do you have any washes? If so just give it a wash of devlan mud. Another thing i think will help is to add some white highlights to the bone colour this will stop it looking flat and give it depth.

To make your black pop either highlight with Codex grey>fortress grey or used kommando khaki. Other than that it looks neat and the Gems look awesome.

Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the advice LTP. u must be pretty experienced hence all the rep.

Also I know its not eldar but I'm also starting a chaos space marines world eaters army and would like some advice on how to paint a good red and gold (world eaters scheme) for my CSM

 

[5tonsledge]

i dont know what you are saying some of your spirit stones are bad ass looking, your warlocks have some really good detailed spirit sones. and even eldrads spirit stones look outstanding.

 

[King_of_eldar]

no painting for a while, i broke my wrist playing football (soccer)

 

[elgeo]

Ouch dude, i like your miniatures though.

 

[King_of_eldar]

here are some pics of my wraithguard and ranger :laugh:

I'll be posting some of my dark reaper pics soon

 

[khrone forever]

sirously dude you realy need to add some sort of shading/highlighting to that wraithguard. pleaze tell me that you not just painting sunburst yellow on a white primer and leaving it at that. pleeeze????:wild:

 

[Djinn24]

Hello threadomancy.

OK I have to echo what everyone else has said. If you can not get your hands on some wash then try this.

Future Floor wax 2:1 with black. You may need to add more Furture so do some test runs. Apply it all over the model, make sure it gets in the recessed. Then go over it again with sun burst just on the very edges to give it some omph.

You basing is outstanding for the most part, very neat and for the most part the paint does not look to thick, but you need to get into dry brushing and highlighting. I think you are starting off way to bright for your base color.
