Eldar Paint Scheme Research

I'm incredibly anxious to paint me some Eldar.  I realize I have lots to do with the Pump Wagons, Gatorgents and Skorne, but side distractions are fun, right?

So, I'm slogging through CMON, looking for Eldar armies or models as inspiration.  I'm not sure if I want to do a codex Craftworld, or make up a scheme.


For starters, here's Games Workshop's Studio schemes overview:  LINK.

Among the first 70 odd CMON pages of the over 200 I found using "eldar" (half of which are Dark Eldar, grr...) I found quite a few great examples of what can be done...

How to: Basic Conversion

So, I've recently decided I want to try painting some Eldar.  Yes, I know they're a GW product, but they look so damn cool!  One of the auto-includes for almost any Eldar army is a Farseer HQ choice with the Doom spell.  Doom lets any Eldar unit re-roll wound rolls on the targeted enemy unit / model.  Wahoo!  So, I figured a farseer model would be a good, cheap way to try out painting Eldar.

Studio Warlock Model

The problem is, there isn't a Farseer model that has the pose I like.  

What I did find was what are essentially lesser Farseers, called Warlocks.  They're cheaper (points wise), and basically tag along with a unit to protect or guide them.  One of them has the pose I want (and I'll probably buy him just to paint it, because IMO, it's an awesome model).  I love the shooting pose here.  Combined with the mask, it has a sense of stoicism and finality.

I want a Farseer that carries the same feeling!
