h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I decided that im going to enter games day. This is quite a big thing seeing as though its on sunday.

The model im going to be entering is quite a strange one for several reasons:
1) The model i chose wasn't my first choice. My first choice was going to be the empire warrior preist with sheild. I've always liked the model and thought it would be a nice start to my golden deamon entering to do such a great model. However as fate would have it, the one i wanted was the only one not in store. So i instead chose another model which is also well sculpted.
2) The model will be the first 40k mini i've painted properly in nearly a year, and the first Eldar mini i've painted in nearly two years. This is quite a big thing as i beleive the painting style for fantasy to be completely different to that of 40k. Having painted fantasy mini's for the past year, this Eldar could be a system shock for my painting.
3) I went into the store on a budget. With only the four pounds on my card left after black ink, and with a store member shaking his head at my plans to paint the mini in two days, i felt fairly stupid.

The model i picked was the Eldar warlock, the one with its pistol pointing forward and its sword point down on the ground. To me this mini is fantastically sculpted. In terms of detail its fairly simplistic. However, its flowing cloak lends itself well to highlighting, and with such a large surface to experiment with, i have the option to diversify and paint intricate patterns on. IO plan to cheat and use the Eldar falcon grav tank transfers for banding and the like, as these are not prohibited by the rules.
The sword will be painted a metalic blue, or possibly green if i feel it will contrast better. The cloak will be the proud black of Ulthwe and the armour will be bleached bone, possibly white. Anyway got to run and actually do this.

So how did the entry go? I know what you bought, but not how you did!
