Finished these metal duders over the weekend. Trying to clear out my backlog so I can put together my new Marines! (Thanks Chris and Apoc participants!!) I didn't put any freehand on their backs. I may go back and do that at some point. Any ideas on that? Stick with the spider web? Some Eldar runes? A cartoon hot dog?

Oh, I also wanted to share these alternate models: detalik.ru/ghost-miniaturesI've been looking for some models lower on the periodic table and stumbled on this guy's work. He does fantastic alternate sculpts for Eldar, including Farseers and Warlocks on jetbikes. If you can read Russian and don't mind making purchases in rubles, check it out. The Warp Spider ones are at the bottom, called "Attercops." *shrug*

The 9 pack is literally 40 cents cheaper (give or take) per model. Isn't the point of packs to provide a better per-model deal? Well, I guess it was a slightly better deal a month ago, since the ruble has kinda halved in value if the conversion chart is to be believed.
Some pretty cool sister sculpts too under Svarog Miniatures (the drop down menu that doesn't lead to more russian. It's literally catalog but spelled in cyrillic.)

symbols for the back? Thoughts are either; cobweb, spider aspect symbol, does your custom craftworld have a symbol? Otherwise you could look over the elder/dark elder/high elf/dark elf/wood elf decal sheets for some inspiration. Or you could do something very heavy metal, like a decapitated demons head! Otherwise, I'm in a similar fink over what to do for my dark elf banners.
Also, did you want to get a game of 2nd Ed sometime?

I'm really partial to the simplistic Eldar Runes on open spaces like that. I'm thinking about adding some to my DE vehicles as well, to break up the space and make them more interesting instead of "oh, you lightly highlighted that black spray, good job".
Plus, eldar runes are decently easy to free hand, and they really pop out. Like a white craftworld or aspect warriors symbol would look pretty amazing I think.

"oh, you lightly highlighted that black spray, good job". On ebay they call that a pro paint job
