Agis Iyanden force

[Agis]

Again a new project, Iyanden Ghostwarriors. My favourite Craftworld is Ulthwe, but Iyanden always was a close second. So once the new plastic Wraithguard minis came out I bought a box, but since 40K 6th, 7th edition was for me unplayable the gathered dust. With 8th edition that changed! So time for a small new side project, maybe I will combine the minis in an Ynnari force with my Pirates!

Current Wave Serpent in my interpretation of the Iyanden colours. The dark blue used by GW was always a bit too harsh for me, I wanted a lighter faded, more Ghost like colour. So I used Averland Sunset Primer, Then some airbrush white highlights and finally the Anarchy stencil HS Dragon scales I used on my Pirates. The underside of the Serpent was spayed with a mixture of Macragge Blue and Temple Guard blue, the blue on the top is pure Temple Guard blue, mixed in white on the energy shield fins.

I did not used as much white edge highlights as usual for a more subtler approach. The Wraithguard is an old metal Guard painted as test for the colours.

A very nice crisp and beautifully finished pair. I really like the more sombre take on the Iyanden them, with the dull yellow instead of a bright one.

That was the goal!

Sounds like a "mission accomplished" to me!
Thanks...

Very nice and inspiring - Iyanden is my favourite, and I only recently invested in Wraithguard.

Yep... I really like that toned down yellow ... and your painting is pretty good too

One of the negatives of the Eldar (for me) has been the bright, primary colors... that yellow REALLY looks much better than the eye-watering bright yellows that is normally painted.

Definitely  'mission accomplished'

I've always loved Iyanda (the idea of their army is incredibly cool).  This is the nicest taken on the colour scheme i've seen - really lovely.  Much more fitting than the ROYGBIV origins of their colour palette.

Agree with everyone. These are great and the color scheme is perfect. Always so inspiring Agis!
