Painting Dark Eldar Obsidian Rose Kabalite Warrior
December 13, 2010 by lloyd
Ah Les you are spoiling us now! Just a couple of days after I popped his last video on the site it turns out he's back with more. This time taking on a Dark Eldar Obsidian Rose Kabalite Warrior for Warhammer 40K.
This video is a bit different from the last as I don't think there's an airbrush in use (am still watching!) and note one of the great things in his videos are screens that list all the paints used, you just need to pause the video to make some notes.

Happy Painting

Nice !
It almost makes want to choose Dark Eldar as my second army. But I’m still more into Dark Angels 😀
Well done. How thin are your paints?
I think the least he dilutes is 1/1.
Yup 1:1 is the minimum
Les you are a god with a paintbrush.
I’ve noticed that Les uses mostly Vallejo paints for his models. Is it safe to to assume that Vallejo is a superior brand of paint to use on all models? Or does it depend on the individual? I haven’t had that much of a problem with GW paints, but if there’s a better alternative I’d like to try it
In one of his other vids he explains his choice for Vallejo. The paints are not necessarily better but the pots they come in are, by far, superior to GW’s. This is generally the reason for people to switch to Vallejo. Dropper bottles ftw.
Oh yes, absolutely, the droppers are the best. If I may recommend anything, every range has its qualities… I like P3 for the rich and thick pigmentation and the very lively colors, I like GW for the pre-mixed washes that stain less than others and for the very opaque foundation range, I like vallejo for the extremely extended range of colors and for the variety of thin (transparent) or thick (opaque) paints… And for the extremely practical bottles as well. Rackham did wonderful thick paints but the range has been discontinued. I like Army Painter sprays for priming my minis,… Read more »
I don’t know what Les here thinks, but I thought I’d add my two cents to this.
I heard they’re roughly the same quality (which is pretty good) but you get more paint in a more practical container. I’m actually switching to Vallejo at the moment myself. I find GW paint great, but those darn pots… Suffice to say that the dry very fast.
In my Painting Fundamentals: Paints video I talk about the pros and cons. I use mostly Vallejo because of the quality/price ratio discussed in said video. Dropper bottles are a must for me and anyone who keeps a paint journal of mixes. It’s much more accurate than dipping you brush into the pot and smearing it on your palette.
I hate you for doing this…I have too many things to do and now I have to start a Dark Eldar army…Cursed be yee and yer awesome painting skills!
Thsi is EXACTLY what I was needing, thanks 😀
When do the homepage will be finished?
It’s being redone at the moment. Will be back up soon 🙂
Les, as you always do, it´s AWESOME!!
Can I lend this video to my own forum??
Thanks! Yes, you can link this on your forum.
wish i could paint like that ><
as much as i love awesome paint job i do really miss john’s 4-colors-up videos we havent had one in donkeys.
True. John shows taht you don’t necessarily need lots of paints to make a decent tabletop quality models.
An excellent guide, which encourages me to visit their website. I can see a similar scheme being created with either blues or greens, instead of the red. The finished red armor plates looked a bit “chalky” to me, and I would’ve gone over them with a dark red wash. I also wasn’t fond with the metal colored paints he used, as the model looked to have bits of tin foil attached to it. I would’ve given more time to the gear the model had, plus used some washes, but I’m coming away with a good starting idea on how to… Read more »
