    I love the outfit design and the background too. Does the Eldar writing on the right say anything in particular or just there to successfully add coolness points?

    I dunno about most of those runes but that last one looks like the rune of striking scorpions

    Very nicely done. The top rune is the Khaine symbol (the Avatar one) and the others look like variants on some of the rest. One looks like a Warlock rune, for example. They all work very well and so do the colours - the palette is very well chosen. I like his serene expression, too :)

    Randomness factor which the artist made for bonus. But .... We could try to find out? :p TO THE ELDAR RUNES TRANSLATOR!

    as per this site:
    http://eldar.arhicks.co.uk/miscellaneous/eldar_runes.php

    Rune #1:
    • Avatar / Kaela Mensha Khaine / The Bloody-Handed God
      Codex: Eldar (4th ed.), p24
    Rune #2:
    • Apparently does not exist, only a similar version which has usually not the half-circle on bottom and 1 less line
    • Codex: Eldar (2nd ed.), p33
    • It's a Seer Rune
    Rune #3:
    • Doesn't exist either but the top part means 'Wraithguard'
    • [​IMG]
    • Wraithguard Epic Armageddon - Swordwind (part 1), p20

    Rune #4:
    • Completely does not exist but looks like a manipulated swooping hawks rune variant
    • [​IMG]
    • Swooping Hawks (variant) The Gothic and the Eldritch, p48
    Rune #5:
    • Close to Striking Scorpion
    • [​IMG]
    • Striking Scorpions Codex: Eldar (4th ed.), p33
    • Striker-in-the-Dark Warhammer 40,000 Compilation, p69

    I am going to poke the artist and see if he can put the runes in there that I need! Thanks for bringing it up everyone!

    Looking at the 6th edition eldar codex, the first one indeed does look like the rune of the Avatar (other than being slightly more curved). The third one from the top looks a bit like the rune of the Autarch and the last one looks like Striking Scorpions

    ...Wait, what, there is a translator for this?
    Why are you using me then??

    so my proposed changes to the artist are:

    Rune #1:
    [​IMG]
    Rune #2:
    [​IMG]
    Rune #3:
    [​IMG]
    Rune #4:
    [​IMG]
    Rune #5:
    [​IMG]

    Basically explaining the past of Zu'ark.

    #1 - Exodites *what he is now*
    #2 - Warlock *what he also is but the path he walked on before Exodite*
    #3 - Shadow Spectre *what he was before Warlock*
    #4 - Crimson Hunter *what he was before Shadow Spectre*
    #5 - Avatar of Khaine *basically the call to War & becoming an Aspect Warrior*


    btw see edits of prior post :p
