When I say completed, I refer to the fact that an army is never finished.

Anyway, I have posted two threads of this army before, and now it is finally completed. There are no real close-up photos of it, because, I really don't have the equipment to take good pictures. Instead, here are some shots of the whole army. I would like to point out that they aren't as badly painted as they might seem. The Farseer and the Fire Dragons seem particularly bad, but really, in real life they have good shading and decent highlights. The main complaint I got about this army when I posted it before were the bases. They were just white snow. I have remedied this somewhat; rocks and dead winter grass has been added to them to break up the monotonous white.

A list of what the army includes:
A Farseer, Warlocks, Dire Avengers, Guardians, Rangers, Howling Banshees, Fire Dragons, Striking Scorpions, Wave Serpents, Fire Prisms, War Walkers, Dark Reapers and a Wraithlord.

Without further ado, here are the pictures:

I don't consider myself a good painter, but I don't consider myself a bad painter either. I'm alright, but most important, I get happy from my results. However, I want criticism. What can I do to improve (from the little you can see...)?

As I said before, this army is not done yet. I actually have a batch of stuff coming in in two weeks; An Autarch, a Night Spinner, Swooping Hawks, another Ranger Squad, another Wraithlord and two Forgeworld Hornets. I also plan on getting a Scorpion Super-Heavy Grav Tank aswell as flyers in late 2012 or early 2013.

Right, so what do you think?

Coooool. I'm doing an Eldar army so this is very inspirational. Like the terrain and the bases.

Sorry no criticism, if you had closer shots maybe people could pick your painting apart better.

They look great to me. The scorps are somewhat bright for a stealthy assault team with anger issues, but still nicely painted

Great job on the eldar. I love how you used the bright colors on some models, and yet they don't look too cartoony
