Some completed Dark Elf units

So these are some completed units for my Dark Elf list, I'm using these as sample display units. Painting the models is nice and easy now that I'm getting better control of the airbrush, though I still suck at mixing the right consistency when trying to use game colour or GW paints, so I tend to mix colours using just the model air range.

Which makes me thrilled that there is now a Game Air range of paints, so that's now on my to buy list for when I get some spare hobby money going.

Enough talk, time for some pictures:

Doomfire Warlocks
Basic colours with a thinned down black wash.

Dreadspears
Undercoat black, spray it all chrome/silver, then spray purple on the tops, touch on some gold details and spray with a thinned black wash. Same deal with the Darkshards below.

Darkshards
So, to finalise, as per usual, comments are welcome, and now, so are commissions.

A move into Commission Painting

So, I've decided to make an attempt at beginning a commission painting business. Just taking on small tasks for now, primarily with the concept of aiming for a tabletop standard of painting at a cheaper rate than most other painters out there.

If anyone who reads this is interested in checking it out so far, here's the Facebook page for it:

and I shall be moving this painting blog into a side part of documenting various jobs that I undertake.

To start with building a portfolio, I've been documenting the painting of my dark elves, a fine example of the standard that I would like to offer out to people. I will also soon begin document the painting of an Eldar army that I shall be doing over a long period of time as the buyer can pay for it.
