« on: April 12, 2016, 03:43:20 PM »
Hey guys. I'm new to the forum and to Eldar!

Just wanted to show off my colour scheme and Forst model for my Mymeara force.

Hope you guys approve!

Welcome to the forum! Love the pose you chose for the knight, he looks ready for action. I also really like your application of your paint as well. Reminds me that I really need to invest in an airbrush of my own. Can't wait to see him with all the stones painted up.

Welcome to the forum :).  Congratulations on choosing Eldar, you've made a very sound choice ;).

You've done a fantastic job with the colours and shading on that Wraithknight.  It looks very striking.

Wow, that is absolutely beautiful!
Can't wait to see the rest coming, I love the Mymeara colourscheme and you've pulled it off brilliantly.

Thank you for the compliments guys, very much appreciated. The gemstones are actually painted, they are quite dark so I may redo them. Also the lighting is quite poor unfortunately.

I can't decide whether to get cracking with the hornets or the Lynx next, decisions decisions!

Also the scatter shield, I'm in two minds whether to paint it a bone white colour or leave it as is, what do you guys think?

I'd say that your best option is to leave it as it is.  While a good case can be made for painting it in bone, I think that you've done such a good job with the shading of all those different blue/turquoise areas of the model that it would be a shame to replace any of them with a different colour.

I prefer it as is.  You have an asymmetric contrast going on with the blue on one arm and the bone on the helmet and sword.  I think it will make the colors pop more the way you have it now. It looks fantastic.  Welcome to the forum and good job.

Definitely leave it blue, I think by painting it bone you'd lose some of the effect of the bone on the Sword & Head. At the moment the bone colour is very striking, I think adding extra will take away from that somewhat.

Hey man, welcome to the forum. Wow what a splash entrance that Wraithknight looks awesome! I would leave the shield as is, and leave the spirit stones the way they look as well. I love the subtle smokey darkness, it looks really cool and unique. The Mymeara scheme is definitley a winning look. Anyway welcome again and keep us posted. You've got the skills!

Thanks for the comments again guys.

Iv decided to keep the shield as is. He's not quite finished yet but not far off

So here's a small update. Got the base coat down on my Lynx. Just wish I had more time to spend on painting!
