Eldar Autarch on a Jetbike part 2

I'm actually enjoying painting this guy.  Not a fan of the Autarch in general.  Seems to me a pseudo-Space Marine Commander.  Don't think it should've been introduced into the system in 4th ed.  Thinking GW just wanted to tie the novels into the game as much as possible.  Referring to Path of Warrior Black Library novel.  I'd suggest skipping it.  Wasn't impressed.

Reaper Surf Aqua for parts of the jetbike, banner and flags also armour plates.  Apparently I forgot to paint the armour plates on the left arm.


JJ painting, Will finish this guy next session.  Eldar Warhammer 40k commission for Shawn.

Jetbike energy core Macragge Blue.  Other half of flags Hawk Turquoise.

Driving gloves and buanna Army Painter Mat Black.  Made a mistake with the lance arm.  I'll end up airbrushing that white instead of painting it multiple coats.  Will have to repaint a majour portion of the arm.  Highlight on energy core Ice Blue.

DRADIS sweep painted Scorpion Green for screen, Army Painter Mat White for sensor, Evil Sunz Scarlet for new targets, Blazing Orange for olde pings, Flash Gitz Yellow for fading pings.

Belt and strap on chest painted same for all of Shawn's Eldar special characters.  Based Scab Red.

Highlighted Evil Sunz Scarlet.

Glyph and other bling Vallejo Brassy Brass.

Handle Leadbelcher.  Dark part of the blade Lightning Blue.  Light side Ice Blue.

Reversed colours on other side of blade.

Blade edge drybrushed Army Painter Mat White.

Same as above.

Glyph Vallejo Brassy Brass.

Face Tallarn Flesh.  Hair Army Painter Mat White.  Fusion gun Blazing Orange.
