Eldar Autarch: Completed

So here it is, the eldar autarch from yesterday completed. This model was a great success! By far my best painted model to date. I just keep getting better and better with every model. The one thing I didn't expect is how much this guy reminds me of the american flag... heh.. (remind me about this guy when the 4th of July comes around).

Anyhow, my friend is very impressed by his reaction when he saw him today and honestly I can't wait to see this guy on the battlefield. I hope he fights well for his debut game when his eldar force is done.

This picture does little glory to actually seeing it in person, but I wanted to show the best part about the entire figure I have to say, his power sword. I've seen stuff like this all the time online and I think doing my very bad looking lightning effect didn't suit an eldar so I tried out this technique. For my first attempt it came out very well. If I had a better camera you could see how the tip of the blade is more white and it goes into blue as you look down the blade. I just love this sword blade and need to go back to my terminators and do similar effects now. I hope I can give up this model back to his owner... I could just keep him for myself, heh.
