Ynnari Skyweavers Showcase

Finally! The long awaited Ynnari Skyweaver unit is painted! What a project this was....
When I started painting my first test model, I had a small vision on how I want it to look. Not everything came out as planed, but some on the spot decisions, turned in to a fantastic result. Now, since I had a clear plan in mind, I shouldent have any problems painting my first unit, right?  
Well... Lets say I forgot every single paint I used for my test miniature. First of all I highlighted the skin to much. The test miniature had a darker tone to it, and I still am mad I couldent achieve the same result here. Then the gold... I used the wrong one here But quickly released that and repainted all gold parts.
The the hair.... Dont even remind me Or, actually do remind me, because I still have 0 clue how I did it on the test model. Did I glaze it without applying a wash? Or I washed it first and then started glazing? Or did I highlight on top of glazing? 
The bikes them selves were a nightmare.... The was a point when I was so close on trowing one of them in to the wall.... But a small mistake saved them! You see, I dont like smooth models. I dont like to paint any Eldar transport or bike because of that. So I struggled with shading them, and then building back up the high light. It was to red for my liking, also considering I dont remember what colors I mixed to achieve the red on my test model. But then I noticed one small thing, I stroke of black paint on the side of the bike. And I really liked how it looked, it gave them worn out, burned, effect. So I started thinning down my black, and applying 7 layers of it on parts I believed should be burned. And that just came out really well! 
All in all, I think this unit came out amazingly good 
Oh, did I mention that the bases are different to? Well, I had this color in mind from day one, the problem was that I dident achieve it on the test mini. So some times mistakes are for the better :teehee:

Impressive work. Why the paink hair, though? Is it an homage to Natsu, the protagonist of Fairy Tail?

 Thanks! Never would I do a homage to Fairy Tail xD Sorry

 

 

Nice work!

 

Whilst I think the punk clashes too much with the bikes they are filthy xenos and it therefore adds to the alien spookiness.

 

And I'm loving the spooky bases reaching up, cool concept and execution. Wowza!

 Thanks man ^^D

Those bases are just WOW! Excellent work mate!

 Thank you! Planing on doing a tutorial on how I did them.

 

 

I’m a fan of the pink hair. Models look great, seems like you are being hard on yourself. I would love to play against that army, and I hate eldar.

 If you dont criticize your self, you never gonna get better :teehee:  

 

 

Excellent job:thumbsup: I especially love the bases...… very eerie and striking without taking attention away from the models. Pink hair?...… works for me:biggrin.:

 Thanks!
