Still plugging away on the Death Guard. Tried some Typhus Corrosion on rivets and things. These guys are quickly becoming Washes and Technical Paints: The Army  |

Dude, continuing to look super impressive. When's that Blight Drone getting some love?

I'm working on it off and on. Still trying to find a good color for the flesh.

Okay, what colors should I use for the horns? I'm not totally happy with how they've turned out so far. This one just has dryad bark. Also, Typhus Corrosion really adds a lot to these models and I'm happy with the colors on the armor. Also also I found another green color in my paint shoebox that I think I really like. Nick, what do you think of the new green?  |

LOVE that green, makes them feel like they're wearing the original death guard scheme, but after 10,000 years of filth and rot and warp mutation, its gotten a bit messy. I love it.
For the horn, something bright to catch the eye might be nice - a bleached bone over a mid brown would tie in with the putrid green of the main armor, but still stand out more than just the dryad bark.

For the horns on my Daemonette, I basecoat black, then area highlight with a dark grey (Eshin Grey) and edge highlight with a light grey (Dawnstone). You could also try this formula from White Dwarf. It looks pretty bone-like I'd say, if you want a little more contrast on them.  |

On today's episode of "Russell Has No Self-Control" I bought a bunch of second-hand Grey Knights from Dice Dojo: 15 Grey Knights 10 Paladins Dreadknight for about $90.  Going for turquoise with an orange accent. The shitty grass bases are gonna go, that's what they came on and they're only 25mm. I'll post some more later, I've also been working on the knight, the razorback sponsons (twin assault cannons, the best weapon ever), stormraven and some paladins. I'm jumping back and forth but at least I'm staying busy. |

Love it! Not enough purple eldar around, and with the codex coming next weekend (the 27th) they'll be more fun to play sooner than later. I'm digging the "I just wanted to paint this so I did" mentality - its where I've been for the past 3 months or so as well, its pretty freeing to not force yourself into a project if you're getting burnt out.

Yup, it's been pretty fun but it made me realize just how many minis I've bought over the past decade (spoilers: it's a lot).
I was surprised just how many Eldar I still had after I traded a bunch of them away. The new start collecting box looks mighty good for a new collection but I actually still have four war walkers and two wraithlords. Woof.

Yeah and with the Iyanden preview on Warhammer Community up today, it looks like wraith units are the way to go - I'll be grabbing at least 1 start collecting to add to my 1 wraithlord and 5 wraithblades. Also thinking about de-Dark Eldarifying my wraithknight and painting it to match the rest of my craftworlders/corsairs...

DO IT. I don't think I ever saw any of your corsairs, did you get any of them painted?
I remember being real discouraged with Iyanden because the recipe for yellow that worked so well for my Imperial Fists just didn't work on the wraiths for some reason. I think because there are a lot of flat spaces that led to inconsistent glazing. I checked out that preview and it looks like Eldar are getting a bunch of specific Craftworlds rules. That's so awesome.
