New paint coat for Craftworld M'elh-Bhann

After completing my Imperial forces, I've finally started repainting my Eldar.

Highest priority and starting point was establishing the overall paint scheme for the craftworld.
I have applied this to Guardians and Jetbikes by now and am quite happy with the result.
Also through in a warlock that fits the overall visual.



Next I repainted my stripped Avatar, previously being covered in a horrible monotone paint job that has been on it for decades. The most time this model took me was the actual thought process of how I want to achieve which effect and how it all fits together without going overboard with details.

 


Finally, I finished the paint scheme on my Swooping Hawks that I started at least a year ago.

The final result looks very pleasing, and feedback has been very reassuring.


Now, what's next?
I have a couple of unpainted guardians, these will be painted next. Also, finished the Striking Scorpion Squad I have started repainting, the initial model looks pretty good and has received some applause at the FLGS.
Next up is a completion of the paint job on the Dark Reapers.
Then I will finalize the old Storm Guardians and Dire Avengers that already have the paint scheme, but lack any highlighting and details.

Finally, I will crawl through the rest of my Eldar collection to check if everything else is on par. Possibly, this could mean stripping and repainting the banshees and the wraithlord.

I won't address all the decently painted kits I own (the vehicles, the black guardian squad) yet, this is a future project.
