Two Eldar Guardian squads with weapon platforms

I don't seem to have any images of the individual minis, but here's two squads in group form :-)

The black and white scheme can be a big challenge, since the monochromatic nature means that the color temperatures of the grey can make big difference.  I have painted one or two pieces strictly in greyish colors just to experiment with these temperature variations.

Hilarious goblin minis by Gamezone

By far the most whimsical figures by Gamezone would be the goblins.  I will be posting some of them here.  Definitely a lot of humor there :-)

'Tainted' World Eater color scheme terminators

Here is the rest of the Forgeworld terminator squad in the World Eaters colors.  I enjoyed the chance to do some serious weathering!!

Some quick Sky-Earth NMM

Today I have a few quick examples of SE-NMM, or sky earth non metallics.

My usual approach is to have several colors out on the palette, a range of earth tones and some sky tones,.  I have light and dark versions of each one.  I put down either a shadow grey type of base color, or a 'seafoam' grey as a base color.   Establishing where your horizon line is going to be is crucial, of course.  That will be a dark brown line, with lighter more reflected earth colors as you work your way down to the ground.

On the top side of the horizon line, you have you lightest (and usually warmest) sky color.  Then you gradually work your way darker to that sky blue.  Also, if you have a marble floor or something like that, It could be your 'earth' tone instead.  That is really fun!  On large miniatures, I sometimes try to paint in a landscape inside that horizon line.

World Eaters Pre Heresy color scheme "tainted" terminators

These Forgeworld terminators were quite nice, with lots of great detail.  As with all the other figures in the army, the idea here was to paint them in a tainted World eater's color scheme.
