Eldar Guardian Colour scheme test

Hey everybody First off all, i ripped this colour scheme from Thomas David's insanely amazing Autarch! This is a test mini so i dug out one of my 11 or 12 years old guardians, i just wanted to paint it so i didn't bother cleaning up the plastic. And i must say, i personally think i hit the colour i wanted so i'm very happy with the result and best off all it was a joy to paint. It's mainly Hawk turqoise and ice blue with A LOT of blue and green washes. More green in some places and more blue in others to make different parts of the figure stand out differently. The plan is to make an entire army in this colour, after my Tau battlesuit army is done. I want them to look like mystic silhouettes, so every eldar, even my avatar is going to be in this colour.

Thanks man, i really appreciate it. The only contrast i'm going for is the red'ish brown base which is going to have a lot of Slaanesh tample ruins and stuff like that. I really love those figures that are painted with only three colours, especially if you can breath life into the mini, but i really dig this kind of colour for Eldar, it makes them way more mysterious. Oh yeah another thing, i'm going to make them all "faceless" so nobody is going to be helmetless.. except my avatar.

Looks good so far! I'd go with a contrasting accent colour myself, but I get that's not the effect you want.
