I am going to try my hand at an Eldar force and I wanted to paint them up in the Biel-tan craftworld colour scheme. I got inspired by the codex and I wanted to paint them up (especially the vehicles) as close as I could to the models shown in the codex. I looked at the paints GW had but none of them seem to match exactly. If anyone has painted Biel-tan eldar vehicles what paints did you use? and if you can provide pictures I would find that extremely helpful. I have an airbrush so if you painted them with Vallejo air colour paints that's not a problem. (I plan on making stencils for the thorns so that's not a problem)

I just finished my first Biel Tan Wave Serpent last night. I'm planning on taking pictures sometime this week, but I don't have any immediately to share. I'm new to Eldar as well. I've got a few jetbikes, some Vipers, and a few squads of troops under my belt.

In terms of colors, I don't airbrush. I prime white, start with Caliban Green, then Warpstone Glow. Highlight with Moot Green. You could do a stencil for thorns, but I find they're really not that hard to do by hand.

When I get pictures done, I'll post them so you can see.

That would be great look forward to seeing them

Hopefully this thread might be helpful.
