Saim-Hann Aeldari Army Showcase

This Aeldari force is latest army project to roll out of the shop. It’s painted in the box art style of Craftworld Saim-Hann.

Saim-Hann is one of my favorite eldar scheme because I’m one of the few lunatics out there that actually like to paint red.

The guardians (one of them anyway) were the test piece to check the scheme for the army. Aeldari are surprisingly easy to go overboard with details, better test before committing to an unhinged scheme.

The other big choice when painting an eldar army is how to paint the aspect warriors. In their own colors, or matching the army? It doesn’t make much difference for the Warp Spiders in this case as they are red to begin with. On the other hand, we are far from the classic blue on the Dire Avengers.

The spiritseer is an interesting model as well, because it needs to match both the normal aeldari scheme, but also fit in with the wraitguards

The Warwalkers are painted in line with the rest of the army. I thought about doing the pilot/cockpit with more OSL, but opted against it as the canopy is already quite eye catching.

To round out the army, a pair of tanks. I went with a different pattern on each hull, but I can see doing a uniform pattern in a future army.

This army is for a client in the same playgroup as these Ultramarines I also did. I hope they send me a picture next time they face each other!
