My lastest Work in Progress (WIP):
Got my hands on some dirt cheap old Dark Eldar kabalites (thanks ebay) new on their sprues and have built and painted a few so far.
So hard to decide on what colors I want the accents to be but I feel set on this golden armor theme.
If for no other reason than to simplify my further choices lol!
I got the gold by first painting every armor bit silver. Then washed with brown ink. Then drybrushed gold. Then highlighted silver. The silver highlights scare me though so i havent done much of those. So easy to make them ugly ugh.
Eye lenses red? Blue? Orange? We shall see.
The poses on these have surprised me with their finnickyness. Ive gotten the arms wrong on one so far and I almost didnt have a gun that didnt cover the woman warriors face (her boobs stuck out too much for the weapon on her sprue to sit in front of her chest lol).
I feel conflicted because on the one hand waiting could lead me to a eureka moment but not painting could leave me to giving up and leaving them unfinished. At least I built another model while i contemplated the paint job to keep my hands busy. But building and painting are kindof different skills that dont necessarily buld each other up.
Wile E out!
