This weekend I finally finished off painting my Eldar army. While the Craftworld is obviously Alaitoc, I've built it up in a more balanced manner so I can take advantage of more than just Rangers/Pathfinders...
The armor was achieved by three stages of stippling from Regal Blue up to a 50/50 Ultramarine/Ice Blue with a Citadel Tank Brush. Time-saving warning! I primed the bottom section and top section of all the grav tanks separately (white on bottom, black on top), then painted them separately, and glued them together at the end. Made things go markedly faster and with much less cleanup.

Great paint job.
The color scheme does leave a bit to be desired on the wraithlords and jetbikes though. They seem a bit plain now.

very nice. I like the face on the avatar.. A couple of suggestions though? maybe make the snow on the avatars base look like its melting (squirt super glue on plastic wrap and brake off chunks after it dries) to show how hot he is, and perhaps a coat of pledge future shine on the window of your vehicles to make them less flat. I really like the bases, think you pulled the effect off well!
