Well, here goes; a (rather foolish) new resolution to finish most of my Eldar by the end of the summer (or should that be Christmas..  :;): ).
I've been inspired by a load of nice new models (cheers Dafrca), and the need to get a decent Epic:A force finished... I have half of my excellent FW tanks fully painted up at the moment, along with a load of accompanying stands- however, there are tons on sprues and these already painted will need rebasing to my snow theme.

- I made a start last night by undercoating a load of stands, and a few tanks, and converting my new Cobra so it looks bigger (the new Swordwind superheavies will be bigger than the E40k ones I imagine...).

Very nice Storm, was working on Eldar myself over the weekend, painting and repairing a couple of titans (thanks Dafrca) and repainting Guardians (Siam-Hain)

The spines are the backpack vanes from the new plastic 40k  Eldar Guardians- most 40k Eldar players will have a few spare I'd imagine.
I decided to use them as they help it tie it in with the look of the new 40k Wave Serpent kit (coming out next year- have a look on Portent for pics)...

I've decided to change the rest of my tanks a little with this revamp- I felt that the plain black didn't really show the great details of the Eldar tanks off to their best- so I'll be carefully picking out all the channels in between the larger panels with a lighter colour- in this case, bone, to match the other details.

After doing a quick colour test on a spare model, I decided it would work well, and did it on the Cobra, and this Wave Serpent:

...and a comparison with one in the old style (and desert base)..

Very Cool colourscheme Storm. (Sorry about the bad pun)
The Snow base really emphasises the coulor of the model. This is a great idea for Eldar who have so many colourfull models (Aspects etc.)
Also the idea with the bone trim is a very nice touch. Ulthwe and other black Eldar vehicles easily tend to look rather dull but you'rs have come out with a lot of really nice detail.

Great work

Cheers! :)

Nice W/Serpents ! Hope mine turn out as well !  I do prefer the desert over the winter ... for modeling.  But aftering operating in both environments, I'll take a warm temperate climate ! :;):

-Thanks, yeah- my one problem with the desert scheme was it broke up the shape of the model rather- the pure white makes it stand out better.

-I do still like the desert base, but snow is more convenient with my terrain, and less time consuming. I'll probably add some of the little E40k base ruins, stone chips and lichen to some bases, as plain, they do look a little flat and featureless...
