  We are in March, God of war month! I've just finished the second part of a three Eldar figurines order, all from World Forge.

  The first was a Cobra Mk II.

  The second an Avaatar of Khaïne.

  Third one is [surprise!].

  Each one had to be painted in the Ulthwé vessel-world colors (black and yellow). I'm happy to have accepted this order, despite the material difficulties and the constraints that imposes.

  I wanted to work with a reduced pallet to keep at Ulthwé colors: dominant black, yellow for the details. Ivory underlayer to obtain a luminous yellow, then armour plates painted in black (dominant color), with edges in orange.

 To finish, gems were painted in nuances of blue. Metals didn't receive any wash. I started with a dark metal (Boltgun Métal) before painting the edges with brilliant metal (Mirthril Silver).

 Last detail, three kanjis were painted on the loincloth: water - fire arms. Which can be translated in "WaterGun", our association's name.
