I'll be working on more structures for the stretch goals and will post WIP pics of them as it runs.

Man, you tried, but I really feel like this is the kind of imitation of the Eldar Aesthetic which is the outcome of someone slapping together used bottles and stuff, like a kitchensink scratchbuilt of the Terrain.

Sorry, I think you missed the Feel and Designprinciples by a good long shot.
To elaborate; I think the Landingpad is quite nice;
but the rest; stuff doesn't organically flow, rather the tower and Bastion very much have the feel of a cut up bottle with Eldar Bits just tacked on. I also don't know what you're shooting for;
Eldar Vehicles and the Webwaygate have a Segmented Surface usually, intersperced with some more technical looking dood-adds and Gems, or look at the Voiddragon Phoenix from Forgeworld, which has almost something like a Runic Circuitry ontop of the wings. Where's the Antigrav-Fins on the underside of the Platforms?

But then there's another aesthetic, which I'd call "boney, holey, organically", which was visible in many old Craftworld terrain scratchbuilds, say: https://www.pinterest.de/pin/252272016604845145/
and there's sleek interior design, bridging the gap between the vehicular design and the hollowed out bone design often associated with Wraithbone, say: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/30/31/18/303118a6cfb4db50c848529a85518a97.jpg
an then there's this, here on Dakka, which is imho an almost perfect interpretation: https://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/463777-Eldar%20Bastion.html


I'm sorry, but I think you're very far off the Mark at this point :-(

I hope I'm not crushing you;
but I think you need to take a good deep long look again at the craftworld eldar design, at buildings and vehicles we have, at the artworks and also at the designs for the howdah on the idoneth deepkin flying turtle for example :-)

I don't want to be human! I want to see gamma rays! I want to hear X-rays! And I want to - I want to smell dark matter! Do you see the absurdity of what I am? I can't even express these things properly because I have to conceptualize complex ideas in this stupid limiting spoken language! But I know I want to reach out with something other than these prehensile paws! And feel the wind of a supernova flowing over me! And I can know much more! I can experience so much more. But I'm trapped in this absurd body!

I gotta side with Archont a bit here. It just looks like a bit of an imitation of the already lackluster MDF Eldar kits out there. I can see a few pieces being useful, but I don't see much unique or new. That being said, since it's just files, I suspect the KS will do fine. I tend to really dislike "walls and tall narrow buildings" style terrain. It doesn't do much at all for the game itself. I don't hate the aesthetic, but I see nothing (as an Eldar player) to get excited about.
