I can't believe I've started painting again. Man its been awhile. 8th edition has me fired up. I put together 500 points of Iyanden (points likely to change with 8th) using a combat patrol detachment. Bring on the new edition!
Hobby wise, I've come up with a paint plan for my yellow. Need to write it down here in case I need to come back to it down the road.
Yellow Armour:
1) Prime white
2) Prime yellow army builder spray
3) Outline model with agrax earthshade
4) Layer yellow with yriel yellow
5) Highlight with dorn yellow
Blue Bits:
1) 2 thin layer's of alaitoc blue
2) Edge highlight hoeth blue
Gun:
1) Heavy wash of agrax earthshade
Eyes and Gems are red but I need practice on these bits. Not sure what method yet to employ. Blue bits need some work on highlights and shading. Also I need to figure out a good highlight for the guns that pull the colour away from yellow. I like the heavy wash over the yellow primer as it looks like a nice organic brown (which is good for wraithbone I think). Finally I plan to base models with Stirland texture paint. Not sure on wash or highlights for base yet.
