Hey guys I’m inventing my own Craftworld as I get into Eldar (they’re way cooler than I had previously thought, fluff and gameplay wise) so I painted up my Farseer, Kandomeir, in the colours I’m thinking of going.

What do you guys think?

EDIT: sorry for the sideways pics, I'll have to update that tomorrow when I can grab my PC.

Looking very good, I'd say!

Do you have some fluff for your Craftworld?

It’s looking like High Elves who escaped into the webway from The Old World (WHFB), and were brought into the Eldar food to rebuild numbers after Slaanesh’s hunger. Am I close? Cuz those look very HE to me.

I like it. You've got lots of color but you've avoided making it seem too busy.

and were brought into the Eldar food to rebuild numbers after Slaanesh’s hunger.

I know it is a typo, but I really like the idea of them actually being brought in to help satiate Slaanesh's hunger as soul (HA) food.

Or the idea that they actually know how to farm as Eldar tech starts becoming harder to rebuild and food becomes scarce. Just rambling. Excellent color choices!

Haha that's better than my fluff, I'd say.

The fluff I've come up with so far is that my space elves have been mostly destroyed by a hive fleet of Tyranids. They lost most of their aspect warriros so they're mostly just the civilians and Dire Avengers left. They've been pulling a Battlestar Galactica and keep doing random Webway jumps to different parts of the galaxy each time the Tyranids eventually catch up to them, who've slowly been whittling them down.
But now they accidentally stumbled across a crusading fleet of Custodes, Dark Angels and Mecanicus and have decided to plant their feet in a red planet in this Star system, so they can try to outlast the imperial fleet before the Tyranids come to hopefully bump into the Imperium as well, causing a distraction that will allow them to escape again.

Kandomeir, my Farseer is the only Farseer left along with a small conclave of Warlocks. The horrific battle that took most of their military might also took their Autarchs, so Kandomeir is the leader of the military as well. They managed to save one Autarch from the devouring heinosity of the Tyranids though, by saving her soul stone, and have brought her back as a Wraithlord to help advise Kandomeir.

I thought the gloominess of it suited 40k haha

Also thanks to those for the kind words on the scheme
