The Aeldari from Craftworld Ulthwé are a pretty dour lot and we guess if you lived near the Eye of Terror, you would be too. In this full, in-depth tutorial, we show you how to paint your Aeldari Guardians from Games Workshop in this iconic colour scheme from start to finish including how to paint both their black and bone colour armour as wel las how to appoach painting their red gems (Spirit stones/ Soul stones) and their helmet lenses. Even if you don't paint Aeldari, there are some great techniques to use on other miniatures (a Space Marine in this scheme would look awesome!)
