This Aeldari project was a fun one. They still have the unmistakable Howling Banshees colors, but in a different style than what you usually see.

Really, there were only three guidelines when painting these. First, there is no craftworld color set for this, so they have to stay in howling banshees classic colors. Second, purple power weapons, lenses and gems, to fit with the army. Third, grey bases with snow, again, to fit with the army.

I wanted the main color to be more bone looking than beige. Aeldari is not the army you most associate with a weathered look, so I thought that was a fun direction to go. Very different from the box-art style army I painted a little while ago.

This is a part of a long term project, adding units from time to time. The next batch will be either characters or Swooping Hawks, painted in a similar style.

I’m a sucker for these little token they put in the new Aeldari boxes.
