gheeey

Nah just kidding. Your painting skills are great - I wish I had more time to finally paint my Eldar dudes, too :happy:

[Ditradin_B]

These are fantastic Pherion, i think there are some clashes of colour on some of the models but they are painted so well it works.

Rep for you sir.

The thorns freehanded? Did you follow the lil tut for them in the codex? They are excellently done :)

[Honsou]

Nice stuff, loving the vines!

[kharn the betrayer]

Aw man, puts away his eldar and reaches for his axe.....

**************Kharnme**************Rep for you they are very very good.

Thorns are freehand! And, no I didn't really follow any tutorial... just instinct lol.

What colors do you think are clashing?

[Ditradin_B]

Just the Dire Avengers really, but its just personal preference, not a fan of the colour scheme on the avengers but still think they look great :D

I'm a noob to painting minatures though so i wouldn't take my opinion for much lol

[Pherion]

Its cool man! I get that alot on the Avengers. They are the three primary colors, and it kinna pops out and doesn't look right at first. They were actualy designed to match Asurman as he is painted in the codex. They'll grow on you.

[count varg]

excellent work. really liked the guardians. the colour of the armour looks really cool.

[Hephesto]

Well those are just stunning, rep time!

[Pherion]

Figured I'd better add my Waveserpent to this thread :-P

Full pics here (http://www.arolkay.com/RecentJobs/WaveSerpent2.htm).

Still looking great mate, still looking great.

I am not sold on the green skin. Gives him an Orky feel that is so un-Eldar. The gems could've done with some white dots, although I presume you let the varnish do that part.

I do like the patterns on the staff, and the layering on the inside of the cloak (3rd pic).

[Pherion]

Its a glove.... :sigh: lol!!

Honestly though. I've never seen this model painted with the hands flesh tones.

Thanks on the layering, it took quite a bit.

[Consadine]

Its a glove.... :sigh: lol!!

Honestly though. I've never seen this model painted with the hands flesh tones.

Flesh, gloves, whatever (I don't play Eldar :p)... black would've been better, or a darker green if you're hellbent on keeping them green. That is only my opinion, tho!

[japehlio]

I like it, especially as you said another is painted reversely, got the whole ying-yang type thing...

Only thing I dont like are the wraithguard, but thats mostly due to another Biel Tan army I saw, and from a fluff point of view...

[Aeth]

Anyone with ju ju mind powers should have blue gloves as any Firefly fan would tell you :grin:

[Ossai]

Can we see a pic of the two farseers together?

That staff really has come out very well. But I agree with Consadine. The gloves should be a bit darker, unless you want to confuse the orkses ;)

Other than that (small) thing that model is brilliant. REP for you

[fridge61]

That looks awesome!

Rep for you my good man. However, I was wondering what kind of songs that nifty spear of his likes to sing...

[Ossai]

Songs of Death?

[Silver]

However, I was wondering what kind of songs that nifty spear of his likes to sing...

Hannah Montana? :grin:

[Pherion]

Hannah Montana? :grin:

If your not careful it'll be singing a dirge for your soul!

Edit:

Comparison pics!

[Ebsolom Dhaark]

Beautiful work Pherion! Those Farseers really look the part, excellent. I also have a soft spot for those Dire Avengers, they really look striking with the colours you've used, well done. How many points doo you stand at with completed units and what's next in the pipeline?

[Pherion]

Thanks man! The Avengers are one of my favorites too!

I think I can pull out 3k if I really wanted to. I've got another ~2K of unpainted stuff sitting on a shelf too....

In the pipeline... I've got all of the Pheonix lords (except Maugan Ra), 5 more Wraithguard, 5 Rangers, 3 Heavy Support Weapons Batties, 2 War Walkers, another Fire Prism Turret, 8 Fire Dragons.... There's more, but the shelf isn't infront of me right now! :-P

[Kanter]

Amazing Pherion,

I'm painting my Biel-Tan army too :grin:

I will take some inspiration from your thread...

My favourite parts: Farseers and skimmers!!!

Rep

[Pherion]

Figured I'd add some more stuff here since there's more done!

5x Jetbikes
http://arolkay.com/SiteImage/Jetbikes/10_13_09b.jpg

6x Fire Dragons
5x Shining Spears
7x Guardian Jetbikes
2x Warlock Jetbikes
1x Autach Jetbike
3x War Walkers
11x Storm Guardians

.... There's more, I know it >< but who knows when it'll all get done!

[Skringly]

Is the scorpion not "in the pipeline" now?

[Pherion]

Oh... Hehe... It certainly is! That's why I said I know there's more!

[Psykic_Scribe]

Beil tan - my favorite Eldar craftworld ! Great work.

REP for all these.

[MMsEldar]

Wow, I love that farseer
