Ulthwe Wave Serpent Completed !!

All done and dusted. One down, four to go ... This took three days instead of one like I had hoped.... ah well, next one should be a bit quicker as I have tweaked the black technique to speed things up.



The first pictures look far grayer than it is in RL, These last two are on a lower exposure to give a better idea of how they actually look,


Well , an absolute pig to paint with any speed. Not really happy about how long it's taking but can't cut the quality down. 6 More tanks to do in total *shudders

Well I'm off to give my back a rest and to read my new Banks novel. Back later with this weeks Eldar retro.

    Very Nice mate, cockpit looks impressive with the line highlight. Three days! wow, took me a month to paint my Falcon! Although 50% of it was white!

    lol, cheers , i almost wish it was white .... well three days solid work ima guessing around 18 hours , its far far too long when you have 8 to do in total.

    Eventually there is a scorpion and some flyers ...

    I painted six grav tanks for my hybrid mech army. Now i've changed my mind about it an d have to do at least three more for a full mech one...

    Yours are looking great and just think about how great the rmy will look once finished, makes painting a litle easier.

    Well peachy - I hope they return the favour and perform well in tournament play - at least netting a painting prize. Of course, you'll need to loving paint up some high-rolling die too ;)

    One of the nicest Eldar vehicles I have seen. Top marks!

    I love the tank!! The CW colors work perfect. How many hours did this take and did you mag the weapons for easy swap? I can't wait to see how the rest turn out.

    Cheers folks, positive response makes it easier to think about doing the next 6 ......

    If you read the previous comments Matt I said it was around 18 hours...

    Lol, as for the others other than the falcon , its just spamming the same scheme now , Ima trying to come up with some ideas for coloured markings to make things slightly more interesting and to tell who is riding in what in-game.

    hopefully more soon
