This was very helpful. I dont play eldar but I painted a ship for a friend and it was a paint to try to paint all those gems.
Marvelous work El
@wildchevy … of course Romain painted soul gems on an Eldar this time, but this technique can be used for any gem on any model.
It is also the technique I use to paint lenses and goggles.
I’ll keep this one bookmarked for future reference.
Very simple guide but so effective. Cheers Romain!
Thank you so much, guys !
As @beerogre said, this is a good and quick technique for all your polished glasses, goggles, gemstones or crystal balls of any color…
This is what master painters do, incidentally, and I find it very simple, especially for such an immediately classy result !
There’s not much you can do to add to this one, except perhaps minding your light more carefully on larger, irregular gemstones.

Yes! YES! Thank you!!! This is very much appreciated!!!
A nice quick video Romain.
