Hello ladies and germspoons!
To establish a premise here, I have 5 weeks to buy, build and paint 600 points for our local GW store challenge! (known as the Battlegroup Challenge)
I have selected Eldar because:
1. Shiny new models
2. Shiny new codex
3. They are the last of the 3 Eldar race armies for me to buy
So, my 600 points!
Farseer Skyrunner
Singing Spear
3 Wind Riders
2 Shuriken Cannons
1 Warlock Wind Rider
3 Wind Riders
2 Shuriken Cannons
5 Wraithguard
Fire Prism
These are all updated kits that I hadn't yet built, so it was all fresh and new to me.
Now, onto the fluff!
Craftworld Asta'ielle is a Craftworld that was presumed lost in The Fall, however, they have simply been staying out of the way of the galaxy's affairs, until now. A Dark Eldar Prince has caught their attention by messing around with technology that he shouldn't, he has been 'turning off' stars which has been attracting undesirable eyes. The Harlequins belonging to the Masque of Veiled Stars have alerted the ancient warriors of the Prince's dark intent, and now they have mobilised to all out war. Typically a Craftworld devoted to the use of Vaul's divine engines, their tactics usually involve ranged strikes before Wind Riders sweep in to clean up. Autarch Amonthryr is seemingly the defacto leader of the Craftworld, advised by the various Exarchs and Seer Councils that make up the leadership. Prince Yurevan Soulspear shall be executed.The Craftworld rides to war in silvered plate, and through crimson eyes they obliterate their foes.
Their Craftworld name and rune corresponds to the "Star Forge", an ancient artifact from Vaul himself that the Craftworld is said to guard.

It started yesterday (Saturday 25th April), and as of this morning I have:
Bought everything
Built everything
Undercoated everything
Today I shall be using the new silver spray can to do the bits that are being silver (everything except the Wraithguard heads and cloths, and the two Psykers)
If you're after a rough colour scheme, this is what I am aiming for:
