40k Combat Patrol Delivery 8 - Leaving on a Jet Bike

This time, I present a set of six relatively simple models that for some reason took me ages to paint.

Eldar jetbikes! 

Or, if you absolutely must, Aeldari Windriders!

For some reason, I really struggled to get going with these, so painting the first three models took a long time to do.

It was only when I realised I was half way through that I suddenly shook myself by the shoulders and did the other three in a batch really quickly, which had been the idea all along.

Anyway, not a lot to say about these. I decided to make the bikes mostly white because the green I think looks a bit streaky on large flat areas and I don't have a good non-contrast match for it yet. That lead me to inverting the colours for the riders compared to the squad of guardians I'd already done, just to break things up a bit visually. 

I did also enjoy doing the barbed vine things - I like messing with freehand anyway, but these were particularly nice as I'm going for unique, natural looking patterns, so it's much more forgiving than trying to paint something very neat.

I suppose if I was up to date, this smaller delivery would have given me time to do something else. But I'm not, so onto the next thing!
