Harlequin Voidweaver

So I took a month or so off from painting and such.  It was a much needed break really.  The Harlies definitely are nice to have mostly done, but the pace was a bit crazy for me.  

[WIP] Harlequin Voidweaver

I've been getting some work done on the Voidweaver.  I am really enjoying this process with the model in pieces.

I've finally found some more motivation to finish my Harlequins, new Eldar!  I am so psyched about the new models.  Expect a lot of Jetbikes in my future.

The Masque Update

These are all of the completed Harlequins so far.  It's an impressive group in the Eldar display cases.  It looks like they will have to take up two shelves to give them the room they need.

Harlequin Starweaver II

Finally finished Starweaver number two. I am very grateful I only have one more to paint.

[WIP] Harlequin Starweaver

Progress has been made.

Harlequin Skyweaver Squadron

Skyweaver number two has been completed, so I decided to do a quick group shot of the squadron.

[WIP] Harlequin Starweavers

Work ran a bit late today, so I didn't get nearly as much done as I would like.  Doing two models this size at once is nice, but also frustrating.

The black is not coming out like I wanted.  I'll have to do some more layers to get the smoothness I desire.  I think the red and blue are coming along well.  I'm not sure when I want to dive into some diamonds.  I might just save it towards the end.

[WIP] Harlequin Starweavers

I was not nearly as productive as I wanted today.  I did mange to assemble the majority of the two remaining Starweavers.  It's a minimal build as to facilitate painting them.  I took lessons learned from the first Starweaver to get this build.  This should allow me to paint the model easier and more importantly faster.

Picking up some extra hours of work will make my bank account happy, but cut into my painting time.  Hopefully, I can get some motivation after work tomorrow to get some base-coating done on these guys.

Harlequin Starweaver

Starweaver number one is finally finished.  This model took way longer than I thought, but I feel the time investment was worth it.

[WIP] Harlequin Starweaver

I got a good amount of work on Starweaver #1 today.

Reinforcements Have Arrived

A nice package showed up today.  I generally don't like to get so many models at once when building up a new force.  It's a philosophy I stuck to with my Necrons and I was satisfied with the results. I just couldn't help myself though.  Three Starweaver kits showed up today.  I just had to start right away too.  I held off for a bit, but the Priority Mail box was just staring at me working on my Skyweaver. 

As for the Skyweaver, I haven't forgot about it.  As you can see, it has had significant work done on it.  I Plan on using it as a palette cleanser whilst working on the Starweavers. 

Harlequin Skyweaver

Finally finished my first Skyweaver.  

[WIP] Harlequin Skyweaver

Just some quick WIP pics of my first Skyweaver.  There's still some work on the rider herself that needs to be done.  The back guy just has some base colors on him.  Hopefully I can finish by at least Sunday.

Harlequin Troupe Master

I took a must needed break from the murder clowns.  I decided to get this Troupe Master done before starting on the Skyweavers.  He was finished just a few hours before the mail came.

Harlequin Player Step by Step Tutorial

I had a request for a step by step tutorial for my Harlequin technique, so here it is.  I like to do tutorials, but I always think to do them after the model is finished though.  I hope people find this guide helpful.

Harlequin Player VI

Here is Player #6 and the second to last of the initial box.

Harlequin Player V

The squad is getting so close to completion.

Harlequin Player IV

The squad grows larger.

Harlequin Player III

Another Player done and in the case. 

Harlequin Shadowseer

The Harlequin models continue to roll off the painting table.  This time it's a Shadowseer.  

Much like the last player posted, this is a sprucing up of a previously painted model.  This time though, it was a much more extensive job.  Every part of the model saw some work done to it.  

The photographs have a tendency to over state the white highlights on the model.  It was there with the Solitaire, but more noticeable here on the Shadowseer.  

The rest of the model is fairly standard Harlequin fare.  I chose to limit the diamonds for two reasons.  First, there isn't a lot of places to make them work.  Second, I feel that the Shadowseer would have a bit more understated look.

I plan on getting a new plastic Shadowseer.  The model looks awesome and with the leaked FOC, having 7 Elite slots gives the option for a lot of Seers.

As for what's next, it's more players.  I flirted with doing some batch painting, but it didn't feel right.  I did two to start off with and did a good amount of base-coating, but ultimately decided to focus on just one model at a time.
