So I figured it was time for me to get off my ass and post something. Since I have been concentrating on painting individual models I figure it would be a good time to take a break and do some units. We are doing a Ard Boys build up again this year and I am working on Eldar. So that means I am going to be painting Eldar. I already have quite a few models painted up for this army, but I am going to be starting over and replacing the old painted ones with new ones.

See, the Eldar models I do have painted were painted quite a while ago and as the locals have heard me say before "I don't paint like that anymore". I really mean that too. The models below were painted using a base/wash/drybrush method. They are not bad looking models they just are not up to snuff with what I paint currently. Since I do not have enough to make a full army I need to add and adding means starting over.

So I am starting over. I will use the ones I have painted until I get all the new ones painted. Once they are done I can replace the painted ones either by re-painting or replacing. The pictures below are of a mini that I painted about a year ago when I first decided to re-do the army. At this point it is pretty close to what I will be going for now. There are a few minor differences. The red I will be using should be a bit darker than what you see below, and I will be doing the chest armor to match the grey. I realized after getting the model to this point that there was a bit too much red and the grey should help break that up a bit.
