Kim doesn't have time anymore so I painted this up to match her Eldar.  The basing will be done to match the rest of the army (ie tank and infantry in picture).

I am not sure if I am happy with the left arm.

If anyone has any suggestions on a scheme that will go with the rest of the model that I could use I would really appreciate it.

Any other ideas about the scheme would be appreciated too,  I have several other Eldar titans to paint and I am hopping to do them all unique so other potential schemes that match up with the other armies colors would be really useful.

Cheers,

Mark

Mark, I'd keep it as is - it's grand. All I might do would be to add some highlighting of the fist to give it a increased glowing appearance, like the Fire Prism in the pic. If you want a contrast colour, however, blood red works perfectly with greens.

Lovely landscape by the way - including the Librarian Termie statue :)

Cheers Guys!

Another part of the model I have been thinking about is the shoulder things that ride above the head.  They have a whole lot of gems or spirit stones molded onto them.  Would dark red work for these gems? I think the light green wouldn't work well with the cream.

Red should work, probably better than anything else. A deep blood or wine red, I'd say, with highlights. In particular, if you add other red details, go for red with the gems as well - I think restricted palettes work better than ranbow schemes. Red should go well with both green and cream.

Lovely work mate.
I look forward to seeing it finished (along with the others).

"Lovely landscape by the way"  Mate, you should see it up close... OUTSTANDING!  :D

Yep, I'll bring an Eldar army up next time...... unless of course you want to come up to Gerro for a visit :), we actually have a granny flat for visitors out our new place.

I'm with Van, keep it as is but add some detailing, especially on the wings.

Personally, I would pick out the gem stones on the wings, and echo the same colour on the psychic lance rather than theh bright green spots there.

Yup, I'm with them.  The Psycannon looks fine, but a graduated scheme on the wings along with picking out the gems will spruce it up noice!
