Hey, just sold these off, thought I'd share a few pics of a different take on Eldar. C and c welcome.

Knight

Some guard I'm working on too.

Nice weathering on the Valks especially, and the Falons look good!

The silence may be on account of confusion by other posters. What makes those Eldar Exodite Eldar? Typically Exodites are presented as wild, archaic Eldar who ride beasts into war rather than using machinery. So what did you have in mind when making those Exodites? Also, why are there Imperial Valkyries in an Exodite Eldar thread? See? Confusion.

Regarding the paintwork:
The star field on the Wraith Knight's face plate is nice, but some of the air brush work seems flat and needs additional highlighting, particularly the central chest jewel on the Wraith Knight. The gray and orange color scheme works well and would look nice on a full army so kudos there!

My bad, the "Exodite" aspect was not due to them riding dinos, but being a "tribal"paint scheme. There were some dinos in there (terradon/jetbikes) but they are long gone.

Cheers for the feedback on how to improve, It's only the 2nd army I have ever painted, with the guard becoming no. 3. So i'm keen to improve.

Is it the dot patterns that make them tribal (which them apparently makes them exodites now)? I thought it was either battle damage or weird shadows. You might want to bring those up to a contrasting color like tribesmen do to make them stand out.

The faceplate on that Wraithknight is cool and excellently done.

Cool paint scheme. Doesn't really scream 'exodite', but well done nonetheless.

CC:
1. That moldline on the inside of the wraithknight's arm....yikes. Gotta scrape/file those off.
2. Maybe take some more and better photos. But I guess you sold off the army, so that's for future reference. It's kind of hard to do some good cc with limited camera angles and all the background "noise" within the photos.
3. So I assume the valkyrie wings were assembled backwards on purpose. Right? Not a big deal, and it doesn't look bad, actually.

I think the initial silence might have been derived from the overall nonchalance of the post coupled with limited photos. It was kind of like "Hey, here's some random photos of some models I painted. Sold them already. Alright, cool."

Edit: I see the Knight box in there...where's that at? I like Knights.

Yeah, that line is a pretty major oversight!! And the Valks wings are on purpose Still unsure how I like them, it's "different"IMO, not really better or worse.

I'll work on the photos and presentation, thanks for the feedback.
