very nice :) a good start! the only improvements i cant think of are:
-possibly some freehand on the sails
-tidying up the face: the lips look like shes put on a tad too much lipstick and the eyes pupil is too small and the eyebrows look a tad thick, however this may be intentional?
-gemstones: painting thses the same way that people paint eldar gems would look much better
- metals nice but a black wash wouldnt be unwelcome.

but a nice job the panel lines and sails are perfect!

Very nice, I can only echo what fuzzbuket has suggested although I will say I've seen much worse lipstick jobs on female miniatures.

Looking good, Also glad to see and DE army that isn't just black with a coloured edge highlight.

Where did you get the diamond plate bases?

Thanks much for the replies all.

I will go look for a good tutorial on the eldar gems for sure. Great idea.
As for her face. She is quite fugly. First time I have ever painted a female character and she ended up looking like a vampire hooker haha. Practice makes perfect me thinks.

The diamond plate bases I bought from a local game shop. Then I molded them for mass reproduction.

As for the sails... I had such a hard time with these. Switching colors back and forth etc. If you guys know of a method or a good tutorial to paint these I would greatly appreciate it. I was actually thinking about using Japanese numbers to differentiate between units.

THANKS ALL!

Here is a simple Asdrubael Vect conversion. Made him with standard warrior parts and bits laying around.
