Eldar Avatar detailed

Forgeworld Avatar heavily converted by the amazingly talented Kruk (Piotr Kupper from MicroArt Studio) to resemble the art of the amazingly talented Mark Gibbons for the codex eldar, and painted by me :) Detailed (and corrected) pics of the marine and the concept, all comments are welcome.

Uhm guys, the introduction in the codex is only about how the Avatar came alive and a little other bla bla. The way I read the description of this model, is that it's dedicated to the work of Mark Gibbons, meaning the picture alone. not the fluff of the Avater, as in process of his awakening. But hey, I'm not sure about you all, though personally I'm definitely under the impression that the picture in the codex of the Avatar is simply a cool one of the Avatar looking mighty and towering over one of his unfortunate victims. If you agree with me on this the model is definitely correct (besides extremely well executed!). It really says nothing (what I can see, but maybe there's a caption or text describing what the picture is about?) about the corps next to the Avatar's feet being the aspect warrior sacrificed in his awakening. looking at the picture it's clear those are a pair of marine shoulder pads!

ZakFaire...err...did you really look at the concept art and introduction text? There´s nothing more that a burned to death space marine lying on the floor, because that is what is represented in the ilustration. The sacrifice of an Aspect warrior take place in a very earlier moment...and has nothing to do with the project, whose purpose was to be faithfull to the fantastic Gibbons piece of Art
