I like the helmet and the straps for attaching the rxb but I'm not a huge fan of the colours you used, bright and strange colours are ok if you like it but I think you used too much differents colours here. Red - Yellow - Purple - Gold - Pinkish - Blue... that's a lot of colours but I'm waiting to see the result after dipping to pronounce my judgement ^^

looks good

never seen dark elves with purple skin before, but I think its fun when people use different colour schemes

looking forward to see more:)

They're great. Good job on sculpting the horse armour. It still amazes me how good your effort-result quality is. Outstanding.

and a little extra, I nedeed 2 tiny skulls and I didn´t find them in my bitz box so I decided work a little and make an easy sculpt, hope you like them... soon you´ll see where I´m going to use these skulls

I haven't bothered to post in this thread yet but have decided to poke in my praise. I think your bases look AWSOME and even the simple mathod you are using to paint them looks great once dipped and overall has a really nice feel to it. The colour scheme isnt me but I still congratulate you on a nice looking army that you should be proud of.

las unit left for 2000 pts army, waiting for dipping

After this,I´ll finish 2 last details in another unit and the sorc on pegasus (there is no place for her in my list but I set her up so must paint her )

When I take a peep at your blog I always think you're crazy about colour choices. Individually your models are crazy but I'm pretty sure they look gorgeous as an army. One day I'd like to see some army shoots and some pics on the battle field, I'm sure they are amazing on a battle field.

As I told you before your gold (and metals in general) is very nice and warm.

Purple skin and, more important, purple steeds?
Do your elves live near a Soviet nuclear power plant? :roll:

Nice job on finishing the unit.
Your washes are amazing, I really like the work you did on the steeds of your Dark riders... To bad you WASTE your painting skill's by using such ugly colors

Phierlihy · Post by **Phierlihy** » Tue Oct 20, 2009 3:24 pm

Ouch! That's a bit harsh but...yeah, he's right.

Easy now mate, each to their own - you know.
I'm not a huge fan of the colors, but the outcome is interesting to say the least.
The idea of fillers is quite nice, but not allowed in my local club tourneys.

I'm using mostly this technique that Lord_Azoth is using on my Skaven project that will be finished a few weeks after the release of the new book

I paint the model with single colors then wash with a thick dark brown lacquer.

Great Black Guards, my favourite unit! Gongs are f#@#in' great!

Ampao · Post by **Ampao** » Wed Oct 21, 2009 5:35 am

Nice idea! I like the gong's a lot! ^__,^

lovin the freehand on your banner.

Post by **Layne** » Wed Oct 21, 2009 5:51 am

As much as I love those gongs, I have to say again ; the dip just doesn't work on black, and not terribly well on the large areas of purple on your horses. The horses might have done better with a wash or two before the dip, the black we have discussed.

Lord_azoth · Post by **Lord_azoth** » Fri Oct 23, 2009 7:32 am

thanks a lot for all comments...

@Layne: Im pleased you liked the final look of the unit

...

about large surfaces, I´ll try some washes over the pegasus of the srcerer before dipping..think you are right and it will improve the result

Unit looks great but the one with big-ass sword makes me laugh every time i see him. It's just too big.

Sivad · Post by **Sivad** » Sat Oct 24, 2009 12:03 pm

I've got to say they really shouldn't work......................but boy do they ever!

Interesting choice of colours and that makes them unique (unless there's more outlandish elved hiding out there)

The BG unit is great and love the gongs..... might steal that idea a I've got a gong-like disk which i've never been sure what to with.
