Showcase: Craftworld Iybraesil Infinity’s Lament
When I saw this year’s Warhammer+ miniatures, as a long-time Aeldari fan I immediately knew I had to have Infinity’s Lament. Eldar collectors had to endure many years waiting for reinforcements, so I couldn’t let this wonderful little diorama vignette pass me by. In this post I’m showing you my version, painted in the turquoise of Craftworld Iybraesil.

ToP Tip: The best bone & beige paints
Using the Stahly Swatches System, I’ve put together two more colour palettes for you, each with four paints from light to dark. One palete with classic warm bone tones as you know and love them from Citadel / Warhammer Colour, but with better consistency and coverage. And then a somewhat more realistic bone palette that leans more towards beige or warm grey. Check out these essential paint picks.
