After having essentially a full Eldar army sitting around for years, I finally got my oldest son into the game and started painting them to have a third army to pick (you know, for some variety). Decided to use the grey/orange Yme-Loc paint scheme because I like the design of the Eldar superheavies and their rules allow me to field some more. What do you think?

Lookin' great, the paint scheme and highlighting really makes them pop out! Also love the bases, wanted to ask you how you manage to get such a consistent cracked earth texture:-?

Thanks! :)

The base is essentially just bird sand, but if you seal the sand with acrylic colours before its glue is fully dried, the paint dries quicker than the sand/glue below and proceeds to crack open as the sand dries up. First time I had this happen was just due to my impatience, but I liked the effect so much that I decided to consistently apply it to this army.
