Working on Dark Elves

This morning, I've been working on dark elves again - freehand on the banner plus some highlights.
Cleaned up some previously built Black Guard for priming this afternoon. They'll be painted much the same as the rest of the army, only with yellow cloaks.
The Black Guard will be increased to a 20 strong unit for added survivability - pesky archers and war machines are bound to want to shoot an unbreakable unit of ASF great weapon wielding elites.

I think I'll give the infinity stuff a rest for a week or so and get a couple of units of dark elves finished :)

Morning's work

Hi!

So, after a long night of cleaning up and building the Panoceanic Cutter, I spent the morning priming and basecoating it, followed by a liberal spray of vallejo satin varnish to keep the basecoat from chipping off the metal.

I use vallejo grey primer and vallejo air ferrari red for the prime and basecoats respectively.

In the first pic, you can see a few of my airbrush works in progress - the dark elf swordsmen from the other day, some eldar rangers (converted to dark eldar aesthetic using greenstuff and dark eldar bits), the hull of a hellhammer tank and a drop pod.

The second pic is the cutter up close.

By the way, I highly recommend airbrushing to everybody who loves a smooth coat. Airbrushes also open up some great techniques and 'looks' that are absolutely impossible to replicate with a conventional paint brush.

More updates to come.
