One Battered Warrior
Here is my first Kabalite Warrior. As I outlined in my earlier post I am painting my Dark Eldar army in a Craftworld Biel Tan colour scheme, albeit a bit grittier and a bit darker.
Take a look at my first test miniature below. I have ignored a few details for the sake of getting the majority blocked out so I can make a judgement on the overall look.
I am actually pretty satisfied already. I think the only real change I want to make is toning down the chipped effect on the green areas.
Choosing Bases
The main issue I am having right now is trying to decide how to base them. I have done two quick rough bases below using different scenery styles. One is a grey rock/rubble style and the other is more of a desert type of surface.
Once I have picked the right palette I'll probably be using some dead grass flock to add a bit more character and detail to the surface.
Which One?
I keeping flipping between the two bases and have not made a decision yet. Let me know which you prefer or if you have an example of something entirely different that could work, thanks!
I really really like this mate, as I said in a previous post i'm a regular biel tan player, have you considered an 'inverse' theme ie the body green with the white helm, also I prefer the black / grey base over the brown one.
ReplyDeletePlan to have leaders in the full green. Not sure about vehicles yet, we'll see!
DeleteThe desert seems to go better with the weathering. It also seems to magically warm up the tones a bit.
ReplyDeleteI think I'd like to see another part of the model having a bit of green. Maybe a knee pad? Part of the gun? The green stands out quite a bit, so you can use it to make the eye travel around the model.
I have started on the other kabalites and I am using the bronze/gold on other areas - knee pads, chest panels etc.
DeleteThe green is very potent and I am worried about using it too much in random places. The metallic is softer so works better for this task I think.
really like your paint scheme. i use that color combo of white and green on my high elves
