I paint my first Eldar soul gems

Miniature Painting & Modeling 1 Minute
My first two! On chest and hanging off the gun hose.

I pumped myself up with a bunch of tutorials and finally went for it. Darren Latham’s was the last one I used for reference before I started painting.

Honestly they came out looking so legit that the face looks like crap next to them haha I need to fix that for my pride.

Better view of gem 2. I ended up with some spill onto the metallic gem holder so I hope I can touch it up without hurting the gem 😬
Second try.

I painted two gems at a time on each which I think helped because while I layered onto one gem the other could dry.

Even got the back of the gem which was not as hard as I thought it would be 🙂
My palette

I got the orange color by mixing up bright red, ice yellow and bright yellow. I used ice yellow as the white for the brightest spots on the gems.
