Painting Eldar Wave Serpent

The Eldar Wave Serpent is the dedicated transport of the Eldar Army, The wave serpent is a lightly armoured transport vehicle which hovers above the ground. Armed with twin linked weapons the Wave Serpent packs quite a punch and can easily rip through infantry armour whilst zooming Eldar squads to the front line of the battle.

This guide will show you how to easily paint a Eldar Wave Serpent tank again we are going to use the colour scheme for the Eldar Craftworld Ulthwé which consists of the Bleached Bone, Chaos Black and Blood Red.

1. We will begin this time by undercoating the whole tank with Scorched Brown instead of Chaos Black this is because the majority of the model will be painted Bleached Bone which lies easier over Scored Brown rather than the more Harsh Chaos Black.

2. We will paint the almost all of the tank armour with bleached bone except for the small square area's on the two curves at the front of the tank which we will paint Chaos Black we will also paint the area below the twin linked weapons Chaos Black.

3. After adding a good few layers of bleached bone to the armour of the tank we will wash the whole tank with an Ogryn Flesh wash to add shadow in the recesses between the plates of armour.

4. Once the wash on the armour has dried we will add another layer of bleached bone to the armour but be very careful not to paint over the recesses which must remain Ogryn Flesh.

5. After we have finished the wash we will finish the Tank by adding a final detail by painting the gemstones with the same scheme we have used already for the War Walker and the Eldar Guardian Warriors.
