After long years of hardship, fans of the pointy-eared Eldar have recently been blessed with many new plastic kits. Including the new Aeldari Corsairs and the Vyper / Starfang. Reason enough to trawl through our archive for the 5 best Aeldari posts to inspire you for your next hobby project. Feast your eyes on the following showcase posts, tutorials, and reviews.

Without further ado, here are the best posts from over 15 years of Tale of Painters:

Let’s begin with a Skathach Wraithknight by Stahly, painted in his iconic turquoise-blue Craftworld Iybraesil scheme. The Skathach was a Wraith-Knight variant from Forge World with alternative weaponry as well as a striking alternative head design. Stahly has also made some other modifications to make the Skathach stand out even more from the regular variant: read the full post.

2. More FW Aeldari goodness

Even more Forge World goodness can be found in this Iyanden army showcase by Haywire Grenade: A Cobra, a Lynx, flyers, a Revenant Titan, and even a mighty Phantom Titan. All beautifully painted. You don’t see this often, so check out this post right away: read the full post here.

5. Sombre black, yellow stripes

Naturally, a post from Garfy can’t be missing either. In this showcase post he presents a Wave Serpent from Craftworld Ulthwé in a glorious 2nd Edition-inspired colour scheme, including his paint recipes. There’s also an army shot. When I last chatted with Garfy, he told me about his plans to expand the army in the upcoming 11th edition of Warhammer 40,000, so hopefully we’ll see more of this magnificent collection soon: read the full post.
