    Hello there! I'm new to warhammer, and love the models, and the thrill of painting them! I don't have much experience painting eldar minitures. I've created a color scheme that I quite enjoy, but was hesitating that'd it be too complex to finish. My idea was a black under suite, but the main armor peices base coated white. To many it seems easy, but i'm worried when I color in the undersuit, and due the shading that my white color will be tainted. I'd adore if you give me any advice.

  • @OsightblinderO
    @OsightblinderO Před 12 lety

    @galderblake Im not sure if Alexandra uses this but a lot of people use a flow improving medium, you can find it on most miniature painting websites. Or just look for an acrylic flow improver. It will really help a lot. Also, try out different types of brushes, hair, synthetic etc. Finding what you are most comfortable with will help a lot.

  • @Izzack10
    @Izzack10 Před 12 lety

    Hi Alex, I was wondering after watching this video what sort of colours would you use to to paint the Saim-Hann Craftworld colour scheme. Would you undercoat them white or black? I'm not sure if it's just a case of similar to what you were doing using blood red and simply raising the colours through to white or using orange to highlight like some people do. Also would you use the same ink wash for them? I would very much appreciate your input.
    P.S. Oh and your painting is incredible :)

  • @TheAvengerNorris

    Yeas they are, but they are way too dominant around the players. It is more fun for everyone if there are other armies around than just marines to play against. That is why I said to pick some other than marines.

    I'd love to create an army of Guardians; the models have always been some of my all time favs! They're 12" range guns suck arse though, that's one of the major issues I have with them rules-wise. I wouldn't mind if they had 18" range like the Dire Avengers, though, so I suppose I -could- just use them as Dire Avengers? xP. Obviously without the weapons platform and such.

    @keymaster013 Před 12 lety

    Try taking them in squads of 20 with a shuriken cannon or maybe a scatter laser. Ya, the 12" range sucks, but in 6th you can overwatch with em, and they might actually do something with all those shots.
    I'd use em in cover or around cover, as a biiig pool of wounds. Put a warlock in with em and give em Conceal for the 5+ cover (invulnerable against most shooting weapons).
    Idk, that works for me. Just a suggestion.

    Nice and simple paintjob but these kind of Eldar mini's are kinda boring to paint, same as Space Marines alot of large surfaces and little to no details. But they're good for starting painters to not get overwelmed and can get good results using minimum amount of paints.
