Eldar! Nothing but...Eldar!
« on: September 23, 2010, 05:06:07 PM »
Well, here's my first squad of Fire Dragons AKA my first foray into airbrush blending. Yes, i can see there's some mistakes here and there but I really like how these guys turned out. Enjoy!

They look great! I really like the striking colours but also the overall simplicity of the colour scheme. The black guns really complete them 8)

If you line and highlight each armour section, and darken the undersuits those will look very nice indeed, not bad currently but lacking depth, shading and highlights.
