Hell yeah man, I love the orange stripe and the way you've shaded the glass on the cockpits and gems. How'd you like painting the Eldar? They were my first Warhammer army so they hold a special place in my heart haha 😅

Thanks, mate :)
Painting them is fun... Kind of. I dig the design of the vehicles, which is why I got the models in the first place. However, they're sooooo unforgiving. With a lot of other armies (Necrons, Tyranids, Orks) being dirty and/or organic, they just never look "wrong" when you make smaller mistakes. My Eldar, however, are never as I imagined them, just because the brushes are never sharp enough and my hand's never calm enough. At some point I just accepted that this is all I can do with the equipment and the time I have right now. Guess for me, coming to terms with my own limits is part of the experience of painting Eldar. ;)

Love them, pls make closeups of the small guys!

Sure. Not much to see there, though... With those little buggers being the size they are, it's essentially just grey, brown and orange with highlights for the guardians and some blue/white elements for the farseer's energy weapons.

Thanks! TBH I was interested in how they look, I love how small shapes with low detail can be made to look a certain way from farther away, as in low-poly stylized game art.
Kinda like looking at a painting from afar gets you the intended experience, but zooming in can tell you so much about the technique that was used to achieve it.
Are the bases store-bought like that, or did you make them as well?
