Hello all! Here are some photos of my Ulthwé Eldar army. The vehicles are still works-in-progress, but the bulk of my infantry is (mostly) complete.
I apologize for the graininess of these pictures-- they were taken using my cell phone camera...

Howling Banshee Aspect Warriors:

Warp Spider Aspect Warriors:



Black Guardian squad led by a Farseer:

Opening turn of a Planetstrike game
(I used my Wraithgate to represent a Forward Observer.):



Another shot of the opening turn from my first game of Planetstrike

Very clean, crisp paintjob. Very nice. I'm not a fan of the bases though. They are very bland with just the one color. I think the models would look much better with a little bit of variation on the bases to break up that green flock. Other than that I like!

Love the colour scheme, great army. I also like the bases - IMO people are too often guilty of overdoing the bases and having them detract from the actual models. The bases here are quite low-key, which is good.

I like the Matte Black scheme on the vehicles! Pretty fresh!

It has an old-school look to it
Very cool

Nice

I love the way you've actually used hair for the banshee hair. It looks really cool.

Also, what's the different tank. It looks good.

Thanks for the positive feedback! Your comments make me want to get more models done!

That's a kit-bashed Wave Serpent... it's fused with a Star Wars Cloud Car toy.
The doll hair was inspired from a Mark Gibbons painting from the old 'Ere We Go! book, in the Ork Campaigns section. I wanted my Banshees to have wild, flowing ott manes just like that.

yep, I've always been fond of the classic GW Ulthwé paint scheme from the 90's

Thanks for the critique. When the bases are finished, they will have patches of static grass... the bases are actually covered in modeling sand painted dark green, then drybrushed with several lighter shades.

In the works: 2 units of Pathfinders wearing leopard skin cloaks. (1 unit is fully converted with head swaps and/or sculpted hoods.)

Great work! The only thing I don't like are the bases... but the painting of the actual models makes up for it. Can't wait to see more, especially since this army reminds me of old school Eldar for some reason (which is a VERY good thing)!

Woo me like!

whats the weapon platform with 2 wraith fins?

nice crisp scheme. Might steal the banshee hair idea.
