Ok, it took me a little while to get this video compiled, but here you go. In the video I show all the steps I took and give some suggestions about ways to do them a little differently. Whenever you try out something you usually realize during the process that there are better ways of doing it. For me I realized that they needed more colours after I did the diamond pattern, so I went back and added some bits here and there.
Also, someone commented on youtube about the brush I used for the fine lines. Yes, it looks like crap, but it has a good tip and is very predictable, so it works well with stuff like this. I should probably replace it, but for now its the brush I use for checkers and other fine designs.
Had a bit of time last night to finish these guys and gals. All that was left were some final highlights, so it went pretty quickly. Overall all I like the look, but might have preferred some brighter colours to make them stand out more in my Dark Eldar army. Regardless, they painted up nicely, and with only 6 of them were very manageable. I'd like to get some of the skimmers and characters, but I need to finish up Smaug first.
Video tutorial will be coming when I get a chance to record the audio.
These guys are coming along nicely. I'm actually surprised that after two nights of painting I feel like I have solid progress. I was worried about the diamond patterns, but I think they turned out really well, so I thought I'd share. I'm using the same pallet as my Dark Eldar in hopes that they will ook like they belong, so that's where I came up with colour patterns. Up close you can see the errors, but I think the overall impression works.
I do think I want to add some more green and blue before finishing them up. Maybe gloves, boots, jackets, etc.
I caved and picked up a troupe box yesterday... I had wanted to wait until the full release came out before picking anything up, but these things are trickling out so slowly that I pulled the trigger. I'd like to put together a small band to complement my Dark Eldar, so I'll probably pick up a transport and character to go with these guys. I'm also considering the idea of converting wyches into Harlequins... might be a decent conversion project. The basic idea would be to put masks on heads and use Harlequin arms.
