Look forward to seeing the scorpian colour scheme you go with

Finished the scorpion, pic next to his brother which shows off the blends a little better

I would remove the mold line in front of it. Plus it looks pretty upainted at the moment, perhaps a big freehand on top? Chaos star over the whole thing would greatly improve it.
Perhaps some hard contrast lines as well, on the black, bevore the metal starts in lightish grey. And highlight the metal again, some light metallics should vastly improve the miniature.

In all honesty I'm not entirely happy with it, the metallics are highlighted with shining silver.... I did miss the mould line until after it was primed and it annoys me every time I look at it

I don't want to do any freehand partly because I like the smooth plates with a drybrush blend, and partly because I don't think I'm good enough to pull it off

Try some etched brass symbols. I can't freehand to save my life but those are easy

I like the scorpions a lot even if the paint jobs are not among your best. Did you scratch built those?

No.... someone else did....

Just draw it with a pencil, this should make freehand a LOT easier. And when you are not happy: redo the black

I'm not sold on the idea, I like the flat panels, the black looks better in person but I only have a cheap bulb and phone camera to take pictures which washes it out a bit, it's a subtle effect but when you're not looking at it up close it works with the rest of the army, I'm going to do a more classic khorne look for the second scorpion and if I prefer it, will repaint this one

@jimmy, I doubt the brass etch pieces would take well to the compound curves... but thanks for the suggestion

Personaly i like it but it does look unfinished. Perhaps basing and some weathering would do it? If it were mine id highlight the "head" and claws (and maybe some other details) in another colour. Bronze, or maybe, you know, some brass? ;-) Keep up the great work.

Well I was thinking on the front plates of the claws. I'm sure whatever you decide will be great regardless

fell off the wagon for a while due to my wrists complaining every time I picked up a brush, but I'm trying to ease myself back into painting and felt like getting some eldar done, both of these are test models really, experimenting with pin washes and drybrush blending and testing a few colour schemes out, the guardians have since had a white overbrush on the guns to brighten them up a little







messing around with blends and pin washes for the panel lines, don't know if I'll finish these models off immediately as who in their right mind uses phoenix bombers?

guardian are looking good. would be useful to see the test stand with the base painted a non-teal colour to get a better idea for how they'll stand out
