This is a test model for a squad of Eldar wraithguard, small dreadnought-type things with big guns. The models I've got are metal, because I owned a couple anyhow, and they were going cheap. I remember buying one of these chaps in a blister pack sometime in the late 1990s. It cost £8, which was then an outrageous amount of cash (probably about £12 now, which still seems pretty darn steep).
I went with the standard army colours of blue with red detailing. I think there might be a bit too much red. I'm also not that keen on the beige loincloth, which feels a bit grimy and was quite hard to shade. I do like the head, though: the particular green and blue I've got seem quite easy to blend together.
Not my most exciting post!
I think you passed the test! Now go paint some more!
ReplyDeleteI'm on it!
DeleteI like it! The red works really well! If I'd suggest anything maybe add something to the cloth. Not much just a line or pattern to give it a little more pop since it's so long.
ReplyDeleteThanks, that's a good idea. I agree the cloth does look a bit bland. I may have to resort to freehand, which is a bit daunting...
