Hey guys! I'm working on painting and gaming a 750 point Eldar list. Once I hit my goal, I'll move up points. These are just test models, sorry about the bad picture quality, not had very good light.

I'm thinking the second guardian's bone, is the way to go. I'm very happy with the blue though, shame the picture doesn't really show the high lights. Will try harder with picture taking, or I will go outside and burst myself!

Added highlights to female guardian, still can't get a good picture of her though :( I've also based 2 Dire Avengers, these guys are now ready to be shaded.

Looking good - I'm always happy to see fellow Alaitoc forces.

For the pics, I think you just need a second forward light and you're good.

His focus seems a bit off.
Try taking the picture from a little further back, then zoom in and crop it later to get a larger image of the gaurdian that will have better detail.

Thanks for the tips guys, will try this out tomorrow! A second lamp sounds like a plan.

Been practicing with the camera, getting much better shots. Not made much progress on these guys yet, I'm still working on my list, but I've just finished my Forge Fathers, so I'll be working on this project a lot more.

These look great! I really like the gems and helmet eyes, the color transition looks smooth. Did you hit them with some gloss varnish to make them shine?

Thank you for the nice comments. No varnish just paint :) Pro painter Tommy Soule showed me how to do eyes and gems, I'm still trying to perfect it! Trying to decide on Guardians or Dire Avengers, ,might post my army list too.

Not had much time to post and work on my eldar. I've got my first professional commission working on Mcvey's Sedition War through Golem, so that's kind of taken up all my time. The blue was achieved through using a really solid, but smooth base of Caledor Sky. Then I shaded and added Ice Blue highlights. I'll try and get some more done for this weekend :)
