But as a coming game with a friend is closing in on the set date I wanted to paint up more Eldar and the Guardian Defenders wasn't that fun to paint I decided to get a smaller unit done, the Dark Reapers, they are based on the old Micro Arts studio's jungle bases as all my current Eldar.
Regarding the painting I used almost the same colours I have on my Guardians on the rreapers, the only colour that I added is purple.
I wanted something to be the same orange as my main army colour on them, so I chose to paint the main parts of the gems orange. I also painted some gems purple that goes well with the green on the Reapers.
The green missile launchers are the same green as i have on my guardians gems and shuriken catapults.
Metallics on the Reapers are copper coloured to tie in more with the orange gems.
The bases took almost as long to paint as the miniatures them selves, they are detailed so you can really go nuts on painting, but they are really nice bases.
Enjoy The Dark Reapers of the Jade Skull Shrine
