Soon to buy one of this, just a question which is better to paint and why, do they differ so much in painting. Which one looks better when painted. Thanks everyone, cheers and hello to everyone from Knin Miniman.

I\'d say this is completely a matter of personal preference. Which minis do YOU think look best? There\'s your answer, I\'d say...

Hey,

You will get many people sayinf Space Wolves and many people saying Eldar, then there will be rants about why their choice is better then the other choice. In my opinion get your hands on both ( maybe from mates, second hand etc.) and build them up and paint them and see which one YOU prefer, it all comes down to you in the end.:)

As much as I agree with Anders\' answer, maybe this is more the answer you were looking for (be careful with such open questions, they\'ll either bring mayhem or not interest many people) :

*) Space Wolves : do you like grey? Do you think wearing a beard is just THE coolest thing in this galaxy? Do you like grey? Do you like painting fur? Do you like grey? Then pick these dudes.

*) Eldar : do you like colorful armies? Do you like manga/protos theme minis? Do you like colorful armies? Do you like painting freehand motifs and jewels? Do you like colorful armies? Then pick these ... aliens ;).

Read up on the armies, see what minis and color scheme best works for you. then paint ;). You\'re the one who\'s going to paint this army. It\'s up to you to choose.

Your choice is what style do you paint. If you like painting all the same colors then go the wolves. If you want a bit of freedom to play with color schemes go the eldar.

Cédric, that was just a very complicated way of saying \'Which minis do YOU think look coolest?\'! ;)

Ok i mainly like elder because they are very thin, skinny, and the base really stands out perfectly. Space wolfes are bit thicker, but like them because i like wolfes, they do not seem bad.
I do not like space wolfes color like this, see the link below

Can you see the difference in the looks, the first is more of a bluish colour while second is the one i like.

Hmmm, which is better Mac\'s or PC\'s? :D

I like both for very different reasons. It\'s usually working out the reasons that folks like input.

When in doubt - get both! lol

Definitely crunchy, and coke, but not sure on the whole ford chevy debate cause I think they\'re both crap.

But as far as the space wolf eldar thing goes, it would be something like this.

Space wolves: Very well defined background and colour scheme set by the background. unfortuneately if you want to stick to the fluff, you are going to be painting a lot of grey.

Eldar: Also well defined background, however, you can paint the aspect warriors in the aspect colours, or create your own craftworld and choose your own colour scheme. The eldar will allow you to have a little more freedom for use of colour.
