This army looks awesome! I love bone colored Eldar.... and the original Eldar dreadnought in bone looks absolutely classic! I really like the ratio of bone-to-black in these models too. Very nice paint jobs and really cool selection of models. Can't wait to see the newer models. Thanks for sharing Rx8 I was wondering what your army looked like after reading about your army lists and battle reports. Keep up the great work!

Thanks Cav! Means a lot coming from you as your army looks wayy nicer lol. I'm thinking my next project I will be tackling my wave serpents because they start on the table. I already have the pilots/cockpits painted so that's one less thing to do

Man this looks awesome! Could you perhaps show us some in came photo

that would had more depth to your armi ^^ next is i like the over all look and i feel the wraithlord do fit really nicely in there, wich is something i would not have if he was alone don't like the full wraithbone color style even if it fit really well when speaking about backcround. Sorry but i just don't line wraithbone. Do you have any clue of where i would be able to find a similar heavy support weapon platform? Really need something for my farseer to use as a jetbikes aswell

the paint job is also real nice so hoping to see more ofbthose coming up ^^ expecting the wraithknight a lot ^^ keep up the good work

I have to agree with Cavalier here: your black-to-bone ratio's are spot on. Really nice looking army.
Try taking some pictures in daylight though, it might help to get better quality photographs.

some jetbikes:

I'll get a better pic for you guys soon, this was taken with my phone in bad light

Looks great Rx8! Can't wait to see some better photos... the minimalistic style looks SO good. Love the red accent colors too.... give us MOAR!

All I can say has already been said by cavalier. So... ditto!

It's been a while since I've been playing and painting fantasy for a bit. Here's my wave serpent. It's not done yet. I still have to paint the turret and highlight the black on the main chassis plus a few other details. I've also still got to put 'ard coat on the gems to make them glossy. I plan on distinguishing between my serpents on the table by having different colored gems on the shield generator. This one is green and the next one will be blue, then maybe purple

was just thinking. Do you think I should change the little gems on the shield generator to green as well?

Cavalier · « **Reply #10 on:** November 6, 2014, 02:47:51 PM »

These are looking great Rx8! The bone and black both look super smooth and again the ratio is spot on! Love the multi-colored gems. BTW are you rocking End Times in fantasy? If so whats been your experience... and what army are you playing?

vonny · « **Reply #11 on:** November 6, 2014, 06:00:06 PM »

I would personally have added a bit more bone on the turret weapons, just to differentiate them from the hull they're hovering over - to show that they're there just a bit more.
I'm sure it's easily visible in real life, but when you look at a tank at a glance your eyes should be drawn to what are the important bits easily. You do that very well with your differently colored gems on the serpent shield generator, and the underslung shuriken cannon springs into the eye fairly well too. The twin-linked scatter-laser less so, I'm afraid.

Rx8Speed · « **Reply #12 on:** November 10, 2014, 12:12:30 AM »

aha ya no I'm not leaving it like that. I said I hadn't painted it yet, was just kind of a wip shot. Here an up to date shot. just have a bit more black to highlight and I've got to paint the rear hatch.

vonny · « **Reply #13 on:** November 10, 2014, 04:12:44 AM »

oh wow, yes, this looks awesome.
I'm still in love with the green gems on the serpent shield generators. I think that was an excellent idea with an excellent execution. The turret looks great as well now, and the highlights are neat and crisp.
I'm rather jealous of your wave serpent and ever more eager to get one of my own

Rx8Speed · « **Reply #14 on:** November 10, 2014, 09:21:45 AM »

Thanks I take jealousy as a huge compliment

Here's another pic:

Still got black panels on the back and around the left engine to highlight and I still have the engines to do. I also still have to do the round things that look like gems but aren't as well as the round bottomed pointy things. Anyone know what those are supposed to be?

no idea. Until I have the model myself I doubt I can be of much help here.

I was just looking at some pics on google and what a lot of people do is justpaint it the base tank's color (so black for me) and then put a craftworld design from the transfer sheet on it. I've never used a transfer sheet before but I've heard they can really be a pain. I think i'm going to try that, should look good

Grizzlykin · « **Reply #17 on:** November 10, 2014, 06:49:08 PM »

Little tips with the transfer sheet. Paint in medium then put your things on and then paint in medium over it again this should give you a nice aspect^^ try it somewhere else before doing the random things i suggest as i can't tell you much as i never tried this yet. A frirnd of mine did it and it looks awesome but can't be to sure you know ^^

Rx8Speed · « **Reply #18 on:** November 11, 2014, 10:54:21 AM »

I tried it last night and failed miserably lol

Grizzlykin · « **Reply #19 on:** November 11, 2014, 10:55:57 AM »

I apologise for mis guiding you did you tried on something or did you do it on your model?
