Eldar Guardian

This is the first model I have made (unless you count shapeless blobs), and I'm quite proud of it :). It is an Eldar from Games Workshops Warhammer 40k (www.games-workshop.com). It only uses Valve animations, as I am trying to build my ability slowly, and not rush it. I hope you like it as much as i do!.....Oh and it comes with 3 extra skins, info on changing them below.
