Eldar Army Progress

I've started working on my Eldar Craftworld army pretty heavily, I want to have a complete army soon. Here are some  Dire Avengers I made with bits I had and WH Fantasy Elf Shadow Warriors. Pretty happy with how these turned out, I think I will kitbash the other aspect warriors in the same way.

I'm also working on 20 Guardian Defenders, and trying to finish them quickly. I'm no speed painter, but I'm trying to find ways to get rid of unnecessary steps and shorten the process. I did one test model for the scheme.

Primed with wraithbone, this pushpin and cork cutting board combo is nice, especially since I want to do the bases separately.

One guardian finished. Wash the primer with Vallejo Smoke, then layer back up with tan. I used Golden acrylic here, but it came out too thick and glossy I think. Perhaps I have to do extra, thinner layers, or use a more matte paint. I'll be matte varnishing them at the end anyway.
