Whats the glowing green stuff on the bases supposed to represent?
Looks ace though!

I really like the combination of the striation patterns and the glossy finish. It gives your army a very unique look, and it makes the gems really pop. Very cool.

The green rocks are just suppose to be an eerie glowing rock pile , just wanted to add something different to the bases .

Also thanks for the comments guys .

Is it possible to use an airbrush for quick/easy object source lighting?

I reckon if you're going for source lighting on those rocks, you need to highlight up a bit brighter and probably avoid the glossy effect as currently this makes it look more like some oily oozy stuff that the wraithlord has trodden in...

Between the pattern on the armor and the glowing green this army is looking very unique and very awesome, can't wait to see what a whole bunch of them put together into an army looks like!

Great work on the gems! Are they gloss-varnished?

[Slann]

Yes the gems are varnished .

[Slann]

I don't usually say this, especially after I got beat in a series of City Fight battles against a Fast Attack Eldar army, but these Eldar look AWESOME!

It's a really cool color scheme, and it's been painted really well!
