The Serpent Strikes: Eldar Adepticon 2019 Army Showcase
Eldar are an ancient mystic race that has some beautiful architecture and paint design. Check out the display board they’re all on! It looks like they’re marching through an age-old aeldari monument and all of their bases even match! This small effect really ties the armies together.
Looking at their flyer wing, you really have to just stop and stare at the paint job to soak in all the detail. Not only is there a fade of triangles, but there’s also an incredibly intricate design of twisting wraithbone-colored stripes.
The Wave “Serpent” -Pun intended, has a paint job like one we’ve never seen before. This unit is a staple in the Eldar army and this army has a centerpiece-quality paint job!
Shining Spears hit like a truck in 8th edition. They are fast and can obliterate units unlucky enough to get caught in their way. what makes them even better is that these guys all have a matching paint scheme with just enough differences to give them a feeling of “having their own story”.
These guys might match, but they definitely aren’t your typical rank and file paint job.
Lastly, there’s a Skyrunner backing his buddies up on a bike as well. Notice the freehand work on his robes? Overall, this army has a real “deep space” feel to it with the speckled white paint on the blue backdrop of the armor plating. It’s a paint job that’s risky but looks stunning if it’s pulled off right. Great job giving each and every T3 unit as much detail as the huge flyers!
