Yes sweet, I must say that I really dig the dark eldar. Not that the skaven are not nice, but the red armour looks sweet.

Nice work on all of these guys. I'm going to paint my spider riders the same way you did, black is kind of bland.

[EmperorNorton]

Ooh, Malifaux, my newest addiction.
Nice take on the Mad Hatter.

[juicytomatoes]

nice work on the Malifaux figure. Some close-ups?

[Ego Ninja]

Cheers for the comments guys, ill try and sort a close up ASAP.

On to todays update -



Im not sure on the sail, hence the lack of symbol.

Im not sure if I should keep the Bone colour and go with a black symbol, or have a black sail with a white symbol....Any ideas??

Ive been hard at work on my TOFP stuff, but you will have to wait a few weeks for that!

Is it me, or the light reflection?, but the clolour red of your crew seem somewhat different to the red of your raider... the crew seem to deep blood-red, but the raidier is more purple/pinkisch-red. Might just be the light/reflection though.

I think the sail should be either a contrasting colour, or a very neutral one.

do you have a secondary colour in your army colour scheme? maybe that should be the colour of your sail, Or make it a neutral colour; black, gray, bone, and paint a cabal insignia on it in the secondary colour?

also, a light, sky-blue would fit nicely with the red, but it might become to colourfull and not 'sinister'enough for archtypical dark eldar...

Nice work, I'm really interested to see thow these new eldar turn out!

[Ego Ninja]

Its not light reflection - They are different shades of red, I tried to get the raider to a similar shade, but no matter how thin the paint was and how many layers I used it just didnt look right - so for now the bigger vehicles will be a slightly darker red.

I might try out black on the next raider sail and see how that looks - After this little test ill start thinking about insignia.

Ive just returned to a project from earlier in the year (its big, covered in guns and did I say big?). Hopefully it will be done by tomorrow so I can return to my Dark Eldar!

It's just my opinion, but I think the red on the raider is nice! If you like it as well, don't change it. Some good looking, neat painting going on here.

[Ego Ninja]

UPDATE!

The side project is done!
(sorry about the pics, ill get better ones in the morning - I had to share tonight!)







Right back to Dark Eldar!

[EmperorNorton]

It looks great!
How did you do the dirt effect?

[Ego Ninja]

Its a mix of Forgeworld weathering powders - Very messy stuff - but the result is well worth it!

[EmperorNorton]

Those are just pigments, right?
I have two pots of MIG pigments, but I don't know how to apply them, really.

[Ego Ninja]

There is a pretty good guide on the Forgeworld website -

Cheers

[juicytomatoes]

wow, nice painting on the screaming bell!

[EmperorNorton]

Looks very good.
Makes me feel bad about the one I started painting and that's now lying in a drawer in complete disarray.
Great idea to add some colours to the wood, makes it more interesting.

[basher]
