In lighter news, I've just finished off a group of 3 Reaver Jetbikes (including a heat lance) for my slowly growing Dark Eldar army.
I'm sorry for the terrible photos (that's what happens when you use a cheap camera and have bad lighting) but hopefully they're enough to give you an idea of how the bikes came up.
The photos look fine to me, and this is a great scheme (not just on the jetbikes, but the rest of your DE as well). The "bone" color is pretty amazing, any chance you'll give us a tutorial, or at least a run-down on the paints you used? I look forward to seeing more!
The bone is really easy, it just takes a bit of time: - Dheneb Stone basecoat (3 or 4 really thin coats to build op the colour) - shade with Khemri Brown - water down some black until it's very thin (much, much thinner than a wash) and paint that into all the recesses - touch up with Dheneb Stone - highlight Dheneb Stone/Bleached Bone - highlight Bleached Bone - highlight Bleached Bone/White
Nice stuff. I'll need to check for mould lines in more detail :-)
ReplyDeleteThe carapace colour has come up really nice.
