I'm not a huge fan of the standard "orange jump suit" colour scheme for #FireDragons, so I decided to try something different with these metal ones. They came out… okay?

But I think that if I was going to try a colour scheme like this again I'd try to ensure higher contrast in the palette. There are areas where the highlights are inadequate, especially on the helmet. Grey turns out to be a difficult colour to paint convincingly!

The #SwoopingHawks have always been my favourite classic #40k miniatures, and they're what inspired me to start this #Eldar collection. It turned out that Vallejo Light Turquoise was a much better colour for them than anything in the Citadel Colour line (and a really lovely paint to work with).

I'm aware that those of you who used to follow me on the bird site will have seen many of these #Eldar miniatures already. I hope you don't mind seeing them go past again!

Here's another shot, this time of just the #StrikingScorpions exarch and Karandras.

I've been slowly collecting and painting 90's metal #Warhammer40k miniatures over the last couple of years. Here's a thread of some of my completed #Eldar #AspectWarrior miniatures.

First up: #StrikingScorpions, led by Phoenix Lord Karandras. I finished painting these in December 2021.
