I love color schemes, the blue and white/cream accent well.
Nice touch adding a subtle amount of the Craftworld color to the Banshees, its an effective way to tie the different colored aspect warrior armor to the rest of the army. -T

Thanks T, some of the other aspects might be a bit trickier to tie in that way (fire dragons and scorpions come to mind) but It'll be a while before I get around to painting those.

I’m with T, if you use the same 4 colours (green,red,bone and white) on all your Aeldari they’ll tie in fantastically well.

So life and things happened and I ignored my Eldar for quite some time.. but I got a new toy over christmas:  I still want to touch up some of the panel lines and add a few highlights. But I like how it turned out so far.  |

Very sleek and elegant. Looks great!
You’ve achieved a very smooth finish.
I have a pressing question though.....
Where’s the Avatar?

I considered adding an avatar when I ordered my FW stuff, but decided against it in the end. He might get painted soon: I've started on some Swooping Hawks alongside the Nightwing, and I like being able to switch between infantry and a larger model. It'll be nice to paint a colour other than (light)blue to mix things up a bit.

The Avatar is just such an iconic model, looking forward to seeing what you do with it!
Are you painting all your Aspect Warriors in cult specific colours?

The Mirror really messed with my head, I was thinking 'is that two sandwiched between a container?'
Great Colours you've used, the Red gems really jump off the white and Teal

The mirror is a bit of experiment to see if could get both sides of the plane in the picture, it ended up a bit fuzzy but I think it gets the idea across.
My plan is to paint the aspects more or less in their own colours; maybe a few tweaks to help them tie in with the army as a whole. For example my Banshees have white armor instead of bone because the looked a bit out place the other way around. Dire Avengers & Shining Spears will probably end up close to the standard, I haven't really thought about the Scorpions/Spiders/Reapers/Hunters yet. I started the Hawks in light blue, but I might go for a scheme from one of the older codices (grey, yellow, & teal) instead. To set them apart from the 'regular joe' guardians and vehicles, because right now they are pretty similar in colour.
