**voxplayer**

These are all lovely

**SoulBellow**

Amazing .... Simply amazing.

**Demic25**

Wow i love the first one.

**MajorTom11**

All of them are absolutely beautiful... really have that second ed fantastical feel but with expertly applied modern techniques... well done sir!

**Chronepsis**

Some of the best Eldar ever. Nothing to even critique. Thanks for posting.

**Jimsolo**

I hope you get paid lots of money for these.

**Inquisitor Wappellious**

Thanks for the kind words!

There's a ton of Eldar stuff on the blog... I will post more of it here. These guys were barely the tip of the iceberg...

**sarpedons-right-hand**

That Jain Zar is simply awesome, as is the Farseer....

**Daedricbob**

Wow...

These are fantastic, they capture the 'feel' of the eldar perfectly.

**Paint_To_Redemption**

Wow man! The first model is absolutely awe inspiring. I love the star/space theme.

**Leech**

Very well done. I really like how they look, the paint work is really good and I like the colours you have chosen. Can you tell me how you did this one's hair, I really like the way it looks.

**Rotgut**

I usually dont care for Eldar at all but that first picture.. just wow. Great colors, really stands out from the typical red/blue that most people do. That base is really well done too. The rest are done really well too, great stuff!

**Inquisitor Wappellious**

To do the hair on that first mini, I used a bigger flat brush, and put down a blue color, followed by a mix of that blue with what must have been a scorpion green. Once I established where the blue and green was going to be, I did some lighter mixes, and highlighted a bit.

Then I mixed a few glazes (one blue, the other more green) and shaded a few areas darker. After that, it was time to put in the lightest highlights! I hope that was helpful!

**spincr**

Wow awesome thread. Thanks for posting. I'll go with the one above that there's nothing to critique

**Snrub**

Here are some more Eldar... I may just keep adding to this for the non-vehicle Eldar, so that I don't clog the site with threads!

Here are some blog posts:

**Karokk**

Wow, the miniature with the "galaxy" thing on his cloak is awesome!

**RIGLER705**

Fuegan!

**TheAngrySquig**

Doing what you could with those models is certainly very impressive. I even like Jain Zar

**xeno99**

Wrapping the quote in a spoiler tag to save some space but...

I LOVE what you've done with the helm here. All of the minis are really awesome, but this one I find reminiscent of the Void Dragon Phoenix painted on the Forgeworld site. I had always hoped to be able to do some Eldar with a similar scheme and seeing this guy is inspiring. Great work!

**Shandara**

I love these.

No more needs to be said.

**Inquisitor Wappellious**

I'm glad you folks enjoyed these

That means I will have to start posting the vehicles next

**Color Sgt. Kell**

That is some of the best painting I have ever seen in my life

**Myrthan**

That white seer looks amazing, wanna share how you did the white? c:

**Inquisitor Wappellious**

I believe I started out with a deneb stone mixed with a tiny bit of black. I worked more Deneb stone into that mix, until I eventually mixed in an off white to lighten the deneb stone for the lighter shades.

If you check out this blog post, it might help illustrate it"

**Element206**

Wow, incredible work. Sharp highlights, clean paint jobs and bright colors make these Eldar really stand out among other minis'. I bet these would really catch your eye on a table top. My absolute favorite is Asurman, the helment and plume look awesome. Great work and vision!

Oh....and another thing...extra props for accomplishing such a fantastic result on what I consider the hardest race in 40k to paint!

**bubber**

er - WOW
Love the star-fields on some of those heads.
The DA is especially amazing.
Nice one & keep 'um coming please.

**zephoid**

Best eldar i have ever seen. A single model would be the centerpiece of most armies. You should do commission work and i certainly would be interested. That asurmen model looks incredible. I thought mine was well painted but now i cant help but shake my head at what some people can do with these old sculpts.

Thanks very much. That is very helpful.
