Hi Guys, i'm new in this fantastic forum, and i would share with you some of my recent works. They are "galactic scheme" eldar that i am painting for a friend(i have to do an entire army), i would play with them also as allies from my Dark Eldar(obv with my friend ). What do you think? I Hope you will like them









Sorry for bad photos and bad English

I would love to see a whole army in that style, it strikes me as being best viewed as an army rather than single models.

I think it would be a WOW army across the table from me.

Look forward to seeing a whole army

Yeah, i think the effect should be better on the whole army over the single model too, i am working on it^^ if you have any suggestion on tecniques or something else i will be really happy

I think you are a far better painter than me so I can't offer any advice I'm afraid other than I want to see more

I was able to (accidentally) get the same effect with a slightly watered down air gun from a citidale paint.

haha, oops!

My worst air gun moment was a very watered down fenrisian grey that ended up looking like I'd paintd bubbles all over a space marine bike.

My painting style is too studied to produce an effect like this, I think it could look really cool though as others have said, when you see an entire army done in the same style (when I say studied, I mean I'd have to hand paint each dot...)

funny effect Scenes mode on!


By the way i didn't use any pistol, the base is all handmade effect, while For dots i used toothbrush(?)

That is fantastic! If that tank weren't our cousin's, I'd think it had one of our shields.

I quite like it, though I would suggest doing nsomething about the Flacon cockpit canopy. I think that part at least needs to be a bit more.....visible.

Oh im new to the air gun and am messing up a lot lol. One thing that happened that was awesome though, I had black watered down to much and it ran a lot. I pooled up on edges and on the bottom. The ending effect though made it look like it was in a fire. It was a nice discovery. I use the effect on buildings now.

This looks great so far, but I second what squidmaster said about the canopy, and certain other details on the Falcon - if you make some parts really stand out from the overall effect, it'll really accentuate the starry effect itself.

Do I make sense? Paint some bits non-starry, and the stars will look even better for it. Canopy, the round thing on top... perhaps even the lines between panels.

Can't wait to see more, anyway!

Thank You everyone for suggestions! I'll try to do something else to emprove my work, like lines and some non starry bits concerning the canopy and cockpit, my friend said that he likes them in this way, so i'll not change them (btw thank you again for saying it!)

here another WIP, this time i'll immediatly work on suggestions above i hope you will enjoy it(i need to finish weapons, lines, metallic secions and cockpit)!

Really WIP Fire Dragons scheme:

Man I really like the brown nebula style one.

If you ever have time to do a quick tutorial that would be awesome

Looking forward to seeing a full squad of guardians too!

Thank you man! I'll try to find time for a mini tutorial, but it is really simple to do(but not really fast): just pick the colour you want, and mix it with water(a lot of water), then paint the zones you want and with the form you want; gradually mix white to that mix of colour and water to do "center-effect" of the nebula. After that stippling ulthuan grey and then stippling white for a 3D star effect(grey means less light for stars that are far).

I hope this was understandable

Still really WIP, just tried the colour scheme





I hope you like them!

WOW
They look amazing together like that. Can't wait to see the finished product!!

Well they look great. Kinda funny, I changed my paint scheme of about 20 years on my craftworld from Kurom Kiam to Nebula and about 2 months ago I started painting them. Now since then I've been thru some big life changes so haven't finished them but am going to post pics in my own topic. I hope they do the justice yours has. Good work!
