The more I look at these guys the more I just want to start over from scratch. I learned so much going through and painting these guys.

How did you make those autocannons? Those are spiffy!

I agree with you, but there's way too much to start over. I think you can touch somethings up and you'll be good to go.

For one thing, those death cult assassins need more converting. They still look like DE. Cut those bones from their hair and any DE spikes. Paint over the skin so it looks like a bodysuit.
Use some tape on Dreadnought leg to get a straight red/white division.

Take off the weapons on the Razorback's driver. That makes as much sense as the Chaos vehicle storm bolter with the bayonet attached to it.

Lastly, retake pics with a darker background and better light. The white background makes your camera aperture close, which makes the picture darker. That's why then white never looks white, the camera is adjusting because it thinks that the white is light.

Thanks for the feed back, no the autocannons are actually a 3d print and I want the flesh showing on the DCA's. On my next set going to work on the conversions a little better.

This is a good play army that I can tote around and not worry horribly about beating up, the paint is OKish and it gave me a good feel and learned a lot. My choices are start a new army or rebuild this one AGAIN... In all fairness Eldar was my first army, but I disliked how squishy and weak they were, they were overly specalized, and as a new player I went for what was cool, all jet bikes... Once I started to play above 1000 points it was obvious Eldar were not for me. I looked at a model and went "Hey thats cool its like a space marine mixed with a knight, what is it?" "That is my brother captain grey knight"... I have played Daemon Hunters since I will rebuild it again. I will put up a P&M Blog when I get started on this one I am in the planning stages.

As far as the weapon on the Razorback guy check my quote "Drive me closer I want to hit them with my Nemesis Force Weapon!" I am planning out a display board for my army and I intend to have running up onto the tank and "Commander Derf!" as my wife calls him, hitting the baddie
