I...well, you might be right about the extra HL. I'm looking at it right now...I'd say it makes table top standard, but on special pieces I'd add several steps, one being a few more bright spots.SAJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07546865761199938592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5427612902505166942.post-44209860544508219402009-10-02T23:13:13.131-05:002009-10-02T23:13:13.131-05:00yes...i just got a hardcopy of the Eldar codex. I...yes...i just got a hardcopy of the Eldar codex. It should make for good reading this weekend...just like Rommel's tank tactics book did for Patton in Africa. Mmmwwahahhaha, suffer not the alien. <br />Actually, I'd like to suffer the alien Eldar sometime in the future. I really like that box of Striking Scorpion models, and others, and the Eldar armor is nice to paint. Since I move at glacier pace and can't seem to focus on just one thing, it would probably be 10 years before i was able to start an Eldar army. Maybe I'll just buy the scorpions and paint them, then let you take them...until that day when I'm ready.<br />Yeah, I popped in the pauldrons just to help visualize. I think I'm leaning toward gold, but one that works up from a dark coppery gold and is highlighted by shinging gold and not mithril siver. I don't believe I like the technique of highlighting gold with silver, I'd rather start darker and end darker, less flashy. <br />The paws...yes, I would really like to come up with a good embossed paw. I think i've seen a process using a green stuff mold for just that sort of thing...SAJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07546865761199938592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5427612902505166942.post-7029682278886401472009-10-02T22:39:07.004-05:002009-10-02T22:39:07.004-05:00you know, on my laptop, they look a lot brighter t...you know, on my laptop, they look a lot brighter than they did at work...maybe I'm wrong about that extra highlight?Herr Fernseherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02947100349084221420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5427612902505166942.post-78668737257681649632009-10-02T22:36:30.331-05:002009-10-02T22:36:30.331-05:00It looks like they've been wading in the blood...It looks like they've been wading in the blood of heretics.

I like it, but I know from experience that it runs the risk of appearing drab on the tabletop. This is going to be a cool looking chapter, and I do like Ursamarines. Or Ursa Marines?Herr Fernseherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02947100349084221420noreply@blogger.com
