The Warp Spider Exarch looks really good.
On the close up of the hawk, you have a similar problem that i had with my Typhus, where the highlyighting is too fat. Watering down paints should help that somewhat.

I also need to buy some actual G.W. white paint or another type of more quality paint, for the time I have been using basic acryl white paint.. which when it is thinned down.. becomes much more transparent very quickly.
Thanks about the exarch btw.
The close up of the hawk makes me cringe. So messy.
Ya know? I have been severly tempted to buy some nids.. becuase they look like fun to paint.

Get some nice Daemons. Or some Inquisitors.

I like the sheer creature feature that is the tyranids, though.
I am not talking about starting a nid army, but like... screwing with a carnifex or a lictor, one of the larger models. -grin-
I don't like daemons and chaos.
And in reality, the humans severely creep me out. On a constant pious crusade of freakehness for their soul sucking sarcophagus of an emperor.
Daemons actually are held for me in higher respect than the imperium, they just fricken creep me out. The chaos are simply just too demonic for my tastes. Tyranids are just at the line of Oooh cool and wierd. Actually there isn't really a rac taht I like all the traits about. I would be more of a Tau player, but I just didn't feel like doing Tau.. I wanted a little more culture and less tech.
Wow, I just went way off... Right.

I have a Space marine Terminator Captain. I do Death Guard. I just want to paint a Crimson Fist guy. I'm in it for the hobby more than the gaming, personally. I want to do Dark Elder painting, but they're a tad shite, in my opinion. I'll wait a long while and might do the new Lord.
The new Chaos posessed look awful. I like the new Daemon Prince. Needs a but of converting to put the eye back in his head though...

I haven't actually looked at the site in a while, I get the periodical email, but I dunno.. I haven't gone in depth yet. I was actually really excited when I heard new eldar stuff was coming out a while ago. I would like to get into the game, but the same with me, the hobby is all I into right now. Granted I Have seen some of your stuff... I don't put near as much time into mine. Wow.

As long as it looks clean to the naked eye, I am generally happy with it.
I am dieing to actually play, though. Looks fun even so.
Oooh.. terrain. I REALLY wish I had a nice big peice to build on.. I have been collecting stuff that could be used. I have a capacitor about 5 inches long from something that was trashed out back, and I have some speaker drums and speaker metal grate covers and I have just been picking up stuff that I think could be used as something.
But yea.. My army consists of black, Red and white. Those are my army colors. -sweat drop-

Use foamboard and light wood. That's always good. I got a lot of spare parts of foamboard which I might use for sceneic base emplacements and stuff like that.

Well my biggest problem is a place to put it... lol! I have a terrain that I built for fantasy stuff.. and I don't ever use it... it just sits in there and is not even all that well done. It is also too small...
I don't have enough room to build a nice big terrain.
Unless I make something like a gigantic complex.
I think that would be pretty cool.. Have multiple boards side by side, each marked off with a different number in ascending order. You build a stair case going up and down in each one.. or a teleporter pad or something.. and then you move that model or models to the next board.

Bulding foot square blocks of terrain is a normal good method, where you can build the terrain like a jigsaw. It stores okay as well, as long as you have a corner or a shelf.

Hmm... Yea.. that is a good idea. You just need a nice flat surface to put em on.

Well a floor is a good start. Or a garage. Or a shed. Anything really. Just make sure you'll not trip and kill a model or four.
