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.

  2. I think I started out with Khemri brown and worked up to deneb stone... then a little bit of reaper Ivory for highlights...

    1. I started out with a basic middle tone grey, and lightened that with a fortress grey. I then used black glazes to darken all the shadow areas. I hope that is helpful!
