--- About the Motivation ---
A nice forum-companion has suggested me to make a blog about my army, as I had shown some heavy work-in-progress pictures in the general Eldar-vehicle-topic and seems they created interest.

--- About the Pictures ---
So I opened up this topic and I gotta say that I'm not only going to show my recent works and work-in-progress-projects (of which I have about 2 dozen), but first I wanna start with old pictures from like 1996, so don't be too rude with me about the painting quality of these old minis

--- About the Craftworld ---
When I started with the hobby, that was back in 2nd Edition and I still prefer many of the old miniatures a lot, so you might find some minis from 1987 in here... The painting scheme is heavily inspired by Biel-Tan and actually in the past I did paint Biel-Tan. Now I changed the rune of the Craftworld and combined it with the one from Ynnead to create a splinter-fleet from Biel-Tan, a child-Craftworld: Ynn'eal-Tan, the rise of Ynnead.
I adopted a bit more white areas to be added to the overall dark green of Biel-Tan and increased the contrast of the green to get a transition from dark green to bright and saturated green which might resemble fresh grass and plants.
About the Aspect-Warriors I have to say that unlike many modern Craftworld-painting-schemes, I prefer to stick to the classical approach that each Shrine and Aspect uses its own colours which all follow a more or less common pattern among that Aspect.

Pretty soon after that, I assume somewhere around 1996-1997, my Warlock:

From somewhere around 1998, my Scouts:

Probably 2000, my Dark Reapers:
