Face Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Hey Lads, I've been engrossed by Dechala Lilac ever since it dropped and have been looking for any excuse to use it. Tried it with Tyranids; Then Dark Eldar; Neither seemed to suit. Finally settled on Craftworlds Eldar; Its a bear of a colour to use, takes about three layers to get a good opaque finish. Still experimenting with best process for the paintjob, also not certain about the gold/bronze. Keen for feedback from y'all 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilgnome Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 I like it! Maybe take some pics from further away? Get an impression of how they look on the tabletop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magos Kasen Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Welcome aboard mate 🙂 I really like the bronze with the purple. And the bone accent colour looks good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Face Posted April 3, 2020 Author Share Posted April 3, 2020 Thanks guys, Here are some more work in progress snaps. Ranger Converted Banshee Exarch [1999 models are still the best sculpt!] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emplion Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 (edited) Looking forward to how this progresses. I've just decided to do a Craftworld army too! I've got the start collecting box and have a squad of guardians and dark reapers on the way (all I can get my hands on in the current climate). I also still have an Avatar from my early 90s army (the only model I still have) Best of luck Edited April 3, 2020 by Emplion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you planning on painting a single colour scheme across all aspects and guardians or as per GW?

Face Posted April 4, 2020 Author Share Posted April 4, 2020 More progress on the Banshee Exarch. Just the blades left to do and some additional touchups. I've decided to do urban basing as it is very creative but drab enough not to distract from the bright colour scheme. Let me know what you think. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Face Posted April 10, 2020 Author Share Posted April 10, 2020 Rangers have been completed. Stoked with the result, just wish I had better/brighter bulbs for my lightbox. What do you guys use? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korocite Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 They look fantastic. My light box does not get any use these days. Neither does the camera. The phone does enough for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evilgnome Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 So great to see an Avatar and it's so well painted! Love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magos Kasen Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Damn mate, these are continuing to impress! Really love the avatar, such a nice model too. I too struggle with good lighting in my photos. I find that my painting lamps, while really bright, create too much of a strobe effect when taking photos due to being LED.
