The first among equals, Eldrad is the ultimate farseer, with every option, knowing every power and being able to cast three powers each turn, eldrad becomes a support monster for any eldar army, but this is not all, he can relocate 1d3+1 units at the beginning of the game and his witchblade (that wounds on 2+) ignore armour saves too.
He is totally a monster, not in close combat but fortune/guiding your units as well as dooming enemy´s, which is what farseers are purchased for.
A detail of the helmet and runic armor.
A detail of the helmet and the staff, one of the most iconic eldar equipment ever.
A shot from his back, I still need an avatar to make the classic Avatar/Eldrad combo.
As in the farseer, I´ve tried to create kind of a flowing line of energy in the recess of the helmet, I´m not sure I´ve successed in it, but i still like so much the effect.
Hope you like it.

Wow! That is fantastic.
I just painted up eldrad for my army. Gotta say he was a blast to paint-so much detail for such a old model. The entire really old eldar range that is still in production holds up really well actually.
Man I just found your blog and love it. I really dig your smooth painting style. One question, on your highlights are you dry brushing and adding layered highlights?
I started Eldar a year ago (after returning from 2nd edition) and jumped right into an Alaitoc paint scheme. I wish I had done as you and created a unique and uniform look.
Another question, I see that you do a lot of double striping on your models for detail work and I take it that is free hand. On your wave serpent though, you add the double stripe, was that taped or free handed? I really like the pattern on your wave serpent at any rate.
Keep up the good work.
.- Oni: Thanks mate :)
.- Nuclear: Indeed, the old minis of the eldar range are impresively detailed and still very good miniatures, If they want to do a new range for the eldar they will have to do it pretty well.
.- Kaughnor: Thanks and welcome!!
I thought to paint them in a saim hann style, but I preferred to invent my own craftworld so I can try a set of colours, and I like it pretty much.
The stripes are free handed in all my minis but the serpent, I taped it and painted it white, but I recently painted a pair of prism cannons (post pending) and free handed the stripes.
Nice painting dude, also just found your blog. Your gems are wicked.
