I assembled and primed these old #aeldari Guardians probably a decade ago and I just this month got around to finish painting them. One small victory over my #pileofshame. #iyanden #eldar #craftworlds #spaceelves #Warhammer40k #paintingwarhammer #warhammercommunity #warcom #40k #paintingminiatures

I actually went and brought Skulker Yellow by Two Thin Coats today to give that a try.

The attached image is two thin coats of Yriel yellow from an almost empty pot, even with it mixed 3:1 with master medium it was still clumpy and lumpy and killed a lot of details on what is an otherwise great model.

Two coats of Yriel yellow mixed 3:1 with medium and still came out so thick it killed the details.

I usually do pretty well with yellow, but conditions have to be right. I've become convinced that once you reach the bottom 1/4 of the pot of yellow or white just toss it. It has too much sediment polluting it. 1/2 #Warhammer40k #paintingwarhammer #warhammercommunity #warcom #40k #paintingminiatures

I used Green Stuff World Neptunus Blue Metal Color paint. It is basically the same shade as Hoeth Blue but has a satin finish.

Thanks

I'm almost out of Yriel Yellow, so I think I'm going to take the opportunity to try Skulker Yellow from Two Thin Coats on my next squad of guardians and see if it is better to work with. I've read a few reviews that say it is.

Thanks

Oh, great. Now I can't unsee that. Lol

Oh, but I did use a good amount of medium with the Yriel yellow to prevent coagulation. Like 3 to 1 paint to medium.

For the yellow I basically just followed the directions for painting an Iyanden Wraith Lord on the Citadel app. Nothing fancy.

Thank You

Hey, thanks. I'll look into that. I actually have to go to Michael's today, so I'll see if they have some.

I got a new phone with a better camera so I thought I'd see if I could get some better pics of my #iyanden #aeldari wraithblades and spiritseer. #craftworlds #spaceelves #Warhammer40k #paintingwarhammer #warhammercommunity #warcom #40k #paintingminiatures

Since my availability to paint #40k has been sporadic and I like to paint in an assembly line, I have started to paint lines on the rim of the colors I have completed on a model, so I don't forget where I left off. #Warhammer40k #paintingwarhammer #warhammercommunity #warcom #paintingminiatures

Something most #RobinHood movies get wrong: King Richard was a Frenchman that didn't give a shit about England. #historicalfacts

I was looking for a specific combat patrol and neither Warhammer store had it, but OrbInSpire did. Doesn't look like they have a website or bsky, so here is their Facebook.

If you are in the #DFW, you need to check out OrbInSpire Games in #FortWorth, just off of 377. They had more #40k kits in stock than either of the official Warhammer stores in the #MidCities. #Warhammer40k #paintingwarhammer #warhammercommunity #warcom #paintingminiatures

The third #spacemarine army is mostly assault elements and terminators, so I might turn these into either #SpaceWolves or #BloodAngels. I have 3 or 4 #SpaceWolves upgrade sprues from various kits since 8th edition so they are the leading contender right now.

The #DarkAngles and #Orks are 100% assembled/ painted.
The #Necrons and #Iyanden are about 100% assembled and 75% painted.
#DeathGuard is 50% assembled/painted.
The #ChaosSpaceMarines and #DeathKorps are still unassembled in their boxes.
The third #spacemarine army is 80% assembled and 0% painted.

#DarkAngels - my first army started in 1994. Around 3k points.
#Orks - my second army, around 2k.
#Salamanders - my largest army around 6 or 7k
#DeathGaurd 4k
#Necrons 2k
#Iyanden 1.5k
CSM from Shadowspear
#DeathKorps - my newest army, from the new battleforce
3rd #spacemarine army (undeclared) 1k

I have 9 #40k armies that I have collected over 30 years. I had to think about this because I have armies in various states of storage, so I might be leaving one out. Next post for the list...

I've been so busy I haven't had time to paint in the last two months, but I had today off (Veterans Day). So back to painting my #iyanden guardians. #aeldari #craftworlds #spaceelves #Warhammer40k #paintingwarhammer #warhammercommunity #warcom #40k #paintingminiatures

I finished my #iyanden #aeldari wraithblades and spiritseer. #craftworlds #spaceelves #Warhammer40k #paintingwarhammer #warhammercommunity #warcom #40k #paintingminiatures

My photography skills need some work.

I realized I haven't posted about my #aeldari army yet. I spent time this weekend painting my #iyanden. It is one of my smaller armies, but I hope to get the new Combat Patrol this year. #craftworlds #spaceelves #Warhammer40k #paintingwarhammer #warhammercommunity #warcom #40k #paintingminiatures

I have invented a new type of blightlord terminator. #deathguard40k #ChaosSpaceMarines #Warhammer40k #paintingwarhammer #warhammercommunity #warcom #40k #paintingminiatures

Proof of concept for my #deathguard40k Malignant Garden Vectorium. The mushrooms and grass glow under black light. #ChaosSpaceMarines #Warhammer40k #paintingwarhammer #warhammercommunity #warcom #40k #paintingminiatures

So, you remember when I said I finally base painted all my #Salsmanders40k, so about that....turns out I had some more that I stowed in a box I forgot about. Lol #Warhammer40k #Spacemarines #paintingwarhammer #warhammercommunity #warcom #40k #paintingminiatures @warhammer40k.bsky.social
