p.p.s. if your near GW glasgow look out for the GKT that are my profile pic in the store cabinets next to the counter! (i think there still there anyway!)

overall I really like it. The shading on the back of the cloak is nice. It might be the lighting used, but it's a little hard to see the detail around the face of the helm.

Sorry, I gotta ask. Is that flock actually stuck to the model?

[Minex]

Hm looks ok - a little bit sloppy here and there but nice that you tried such a hard 2 paint style - i would dare to do it :D.

So, what precisely consitutes "Rainbow Eldar"? Is that a particular craftworld, or just any-which-way but Dark?

[Fellend]

I like it. Nice seeing some Eldar on here. Good job

[Merkmon]

Faaaaabulous.

Overall pretty cool looking autarch! I get the rainbow thing...to a point, but it's really not that rainbow-y. I fee like you have some really good techniques going but got a bit sloppy here and there and I echo the static grass comment. Whatever that hair stuff is, if it's removable it's gotta go haha.

The sword looks great - really nice job overall :)

[Dragonlv8]

I like it. Bold is what Eldar do best amirite?

[fuzzbuket]

thanks all :)
when i say rainbow eldar i mean PROPER eldar: who wants these new style ones with gritty gritty realism and dark colour schemes? and that is why he is bright blue, red and a bone color :D

@rowansl its not the lighting its finecast 0_0 the whole grill section was warped so the last few lines on it were hand painted!

and about the setatic grass....... the photos were taken just a few seconds after id finished flocking the snow :P (i could post up better pics soon)

It has a nice overall look, but i think you would get better results if youd thin down your paint a bit so you can use more but thinner layers of paint. Some use water with a drop of dishwashing liquid, i use just water and its ok too.
good job :)

It's certainly got a handful of colors in it... but I don't feel like you really nailed the rainbow theme... Seems more of a "hey I like how the sky looks at different times of the day" theme... which is cool... but I'm just not feeling the rainbow... much less tasting it.

Cool model...but not sure about the brownish effect on the wings
