WIP Wave Serpent

Hello fellow dojo goers, and lurking by-passers. This week was full of surprises and action. One of them was finally getting the brush in my hand, and kick starting painting again (more like butt kicking self into painting).

I did not manage to achieve much, and its still early work in progress. But taking into account that the model was primed white during the autumn of last year, its finally taking shape.

When i started my dark /light eldar force, i imagined painting them in skull bone, rust and bronze colors, never took vehicles into account. But time went by, I tried a few color schemes on them, and my current force is painted scarcely, in different styles and colors ranging from skull bone, to communist red and traditional blue and green.

Going from there my decision was, f.. it. Just finding a pleasing image of a finished wave serpent for reference and go from the colors there.

ps. feel free to punch me for the crap photos.


White primer (shit job there, quite a lot of paint right from the start)





















Adding black plates (abbadon black, imperial primer)

















Red plates and plate intersection lines (mephiston red base for now)

























Decided to add the third color to plates, as it was coming out far too dark.
















Plan for next week is to finish this one. deciding on if i should set any part as metallic, gem colors, any dirt/damage and light.

  1. Shaping out quite nicely I must say. I myself do not use white, instead try to prime grey. Bone, and other bright colors come out vibrant and I really like working on grey.
