Eldar Farseer Jetbike Done!

It's been a while since I last posted, but I've been a busy, busy, busy bee helping my brother move to Fargo.

Anywho, I finished this last night and decided to throw up some pics. Couple things that I was satisfied with were the greenstuff robes and the armor on the canopy of the jetbike. Thanks to Shortsonfire79, I was rather inspired to sit down and work on that bleached bone for several layers. The spear tip came out wonderfully, but the pics don't capture it well. C&C welcome!

Farseer on Jetbike WIP

Happy friday! I've been slowly working on my Eldar Farseer and just wanted to show off the progress a little bit. The white parts on the canopy of the jetbike are meant to look like wraithbone armor, but my greenstuff-fu is weak thus far. I'm not sure yet whether or not I want to have that be white to match the robes and regular armor of the farseer or bone to match the wraithbone armor on him. Opinions?

Warlock and Terminator Chaplain complete!

The final (?) Warlock of the Seer Council is complete and here are the pics. The only thing that I'm not entirely satisfied is the spear; I was going for an energized blade look, but it didn't work out so well. I'll probably just stick to my usual crystal look next time.

Okay, so that's not how the quote goes. But I am very proud with how this turned out and am sure my friend will appreciate this gift. Thanks for all of those who gave me suggestions on the gold. I ended using Vermin brown as the basecoat, followed by a brush 1:1 brown ink/Shining Gold, a 4:1 water/brown ink, followed by highlighting with shining gold again. I thought it was a little bright at first, but after hitting it with a layer of Dullcote, I was very satisfied as it subdued the brightness of the gold and gave it that ancient yet powerful look I wanted.

Next up? Eldar Wave Serpent.

Jetbike Warlock + Terminator Chaplain WIP's

Well, after I got home from work today (painting houses over the summer, funny how that works, huh?), I decided to bust out the paint jars and get to work.

I threw down some basecoats on the Warlock and also sketched an idea for a freehand pattern on the jetbike canopy.

Now, I have a friend who's graduating from High School soon and has been collecting his army for quite some time now, yet has barely made a dent in the painting of it. So, in commemoration of his passing high school, I decided to get him (in my opinion) one of the most gorgeous Space Marine sculpts in the line and paint it as lovingly as I possibly can.

Some WIP's: 

The browns on the Crozius, the belt buckle, chains and halo are the base coats for my golds, which I'll do later this week. Hopefully, it'll end up better than my other attempts at gold paint.

So if anyone is reading this, how do you paint your golds?

Next on the Painting Table

Warlock #3, primed and ready to paint. More pics to come as soon as progress is made.

Eldar Seer Council; half done

So, over the course of two and a half years now, I'm nearing the completion of my Eldar army - the only things left on the table are a Farseer on Jetbike, a Warlock on a Jetbike and a Wave Serpent.

Just to give you a teaser, here's the first two completed Warlocks from the Seer Council.
