Hey guys, so I've never actually uploaded any photos of my armies or models before, so I apologize beforehand if the sizing doesn't come out well.
Anyhow, with the assistance of several helpful members on the BoLS forums, I crafter an Eldar list that is fun, challenging, and interesting to play. I come from playing Ultramarines where I enjoyed the uniformity of the army, but ultimately found the colours to be rather boring. So, this is where the inspiration to start up Eldar came from. I want an interesting colour scheme, but one that isn't too common. I decided on Yme-Loc as it's a colour combination I haven't before tried, but is nonetheless striking.
Anyhow, this is my counts-as Eldrad farseer. I admit that I copied the scheme from the Dawn of War 2 farseer model with the Yme-Loc scheme from the game type of the Last Stand. ...but let's keep that between us. :P
EDIT: To add, C&C is welcome and appreciated. This is probably some of my personal best work, but am hoping to make this army really stand out. In particular, I'm hoping for some feedback on the shuriken pistol, as I may end up going with that colour for my DA's Avenger Shuriken Catapults. :)
As well, it's slightly converted. I put some green stuff into the space where the farseer head would sit, and when placing a Wood Elf Glade Guard head in, decided the green stuff looked similar to a scarf. What is not visible in this photo is the armour on the head which is also painted orange. This is meant to be the Ghost Helm. But, yes, I decided that my farseer is female. The Eldar bodies are generally lithe enough that I didn't think modelling breasts was necessary to convey the gender. Plus, why can't some A-cups exist in the grim future?
