eldar firestorm

[nikie]

this is my view as to how the eldar firestorm should look like
of course i have only 3 now but i will add more later (like a green one)

but for now we have

the red one

the blue one

and the purple one

 

[cheelfy]

Nice ones. I think the purple one is the best one of the three but you could blend a little bit more your colours to get a better result.

I bet they look great on the table! I have one of these kits to put together and paint - any tips from someone who has done at least 3 so far on assembly to make the painting easier?

 

[nikie]

i paint them in these parts

i glue the 2 lower hulls
the lower back hull
backdoor
the upper hull
the parts of the driver seperatly

after i have painted these parts i glue them

on the turret i painted all parts seperatly then glue them

also if you do something like i did one the embedded lines in the tanks
i painted all parts with lines at ones
i do this so i keep the colours the same

Very, very nice. The glow effect is superb! The blending does need some work, as does the freehand. If you cleaned both of those up just a touch you would have a definate set of 10s on your hands!

as mentioned, the blending is a little rough but they look pretty effective

 

[nikie]

i didnt blend

i used 4 layers of increasingly brighter reds(blues/purples) glazes

i still have lots of problems with blending (like the entire process)
so if anyone has a good blending tutorial i would really apreciate it

These look great... is it just me, or is anyone else reminded of TRON?

All hail TRON!

Really nice job, I like the blue one. But which one goes fasta?

I simply love how the lines glow!

Really a cool look for these eldar vehicles... very appropriate to a prism cannon, though I think the look would be great for an entire army... a dark eldar army in particular would look pretty outstanding with this technique. Thanks for showing your work.

As for blending there is a great tutorial over at reaper:
http://www.reapermini.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=32050&hl=blending

I helped me get the basics going.

Thank you again!

Those look superb. The blue one is especially effective.

And yes, first thing I thought of was Tron

 

[nikie]

its really weird everywhere i show these models
evryone has a different opinion one likes the blues the other the purples
i never saw a group of people that liked the same one

 

[nikie]

thanx for the tutorial i have just finished reading it
i geuss il give it a try for my other fire prisms (though that will probely be some time from now

its on to to THE WARLOCKS ON JETBIKES for now
