Examples of brilliant execution of Craftworld Altansar

[Jackalwolf]

Yo Eldar team,

Just bought half the starter set and thinking about starting an Eldar project after I'm done with my Space Wolves. The Craftworld that really calls to me is Altansar but unfortunately I haven't found many examples of a beautiful execution of it's colour scheme online.

 

Do you have any examples or links about great Altansar Craftworld minis? I'm looking for stuff at around this level I found for Mymeara:

I'm painting Altansar but I'm not that good a painter...and everything is WIP anyway. Sorry.

Not quite the same but Google came up with this: https://www.reddit.com/r/Eldar/comments/pwia5e/altansar_guardian_fire_team/

the alternative craftworlds article I recently saw didn't include Altansar.

 

there's an old thread on dakka with some photos in it

 

I suspect YouTube is more likely to have good painting tutorials and suggestions for this Craftworld.

I just finished reading about them in White Dwarf 473- there's a painting guide in there for them too.

This was one of the nicest looking examples I could find, from a Twitter post:

That's too purple I think. Altansar is more of a wine-red. GW described it as magenta in the WD article but magenta is usually a much brighter, sharper (electric?) shade than what is pictured.

Gee... I'd copy the Mymeara from the first post ...  Forget Altansar... truthfully though i've not seen a really good Altansar army...

I'll show you mine when it's finished.

Thanks guys, yes it’s a struggle to find high class Altansar paint jobs, looking forward to seeing yours Ferrum!

I’m thinking of maybe doing something like this to add depth but with the Altansar wine red.
