An Eldar army man!

While Forrest was off playing with his cool new paint thrower and virtual army mans, I was busy painting up one of the Space Elves... I mean, Eldar. Not quite done with him/her/it yet, but here's a shot of the work in progress:


As you can see, the base is white which means yes, I did prime him with white spray paint. Why did I prime white for a predominantly black color scheme? I don't know. I just don't know. Also, please note that Bleached Bone is a pain-in-the-ass color to get a non-streaky look with. Just a little warning...

I am kinda proud of this guy so far though; in the past, I never bothered with shading or highlighting - I just tried to paint as neatly as possible - so it's cool to see what a little bit of shading can do. Looks like the next step will have to be edging the armor and painting in some of those gemstones.

ARMY MANS!
