Really great to see some paint on these guys. The Eldar ranger heads work a treat. Looking forward to seeing more!

This is going to be the best looking Dark Elf team ever. I must say, I am very impressed with both your converting and painting skills. Fantastic!

Assassin done. Now working on a blitzer.

Blitzer done. It took a while to figure out which pieces to combine but I ended up with this.

Great work, as always!

I love the miniature and wish this was the original one rather than the stale 2nd edition blitzers

Awesome as always, I really love how this team is shaping up.

how did you do the shoulder pads like that? orange base, yellow dry brush, then ink yellow?

Horekim and the technique "dry brush" do not belong in the same sentence my friend..

I think he explains how he does his yellow a few pages back, FYI

Norse is correct: viewtopic.php?f=23&t=40505#p734192

But that's just the colors. You have to know how to blend layers of paint as well. Actually yellow is quite easy to blend because the pigment is so weak in the paint so each new layer won't cover the previous one completely.

Totally agree. For me these are the Dark elves that should have been. Those conversions are awesome.

Thanks, I had missed that
