Worth £14.50 unpainted?

I can see an Eldar in there.

Can't tell whether the ears are pointy, and I'm a bit iffy on the hairstyle, but otherwise I rather like it. Maybe some form of noble or something like that(forgets his lessons in Eldar social castes).

That would be one of Steve Buddle's models (see right near the bottom of this page). He was formerly a sculptor at GW and was behind some of the Inquisitor range - Jena Orechiel for example (unless I'm suffering a brainfart).

His stuff is easily one of the best sources of female models for Inquisitor.

The ears aren't pointy by the looks of it, but that's nothing that 5 minutes with a litte GS won't fix =D

Drat, seeing those makes me want to get into 54mm even more now.

Marco, if I end up overdrawn buying these then I'm going to blame you! xD

Better than me being blamed for something I wasn't responsible for.

Anyway, make sure you've looked at the other pages as well - this one is also very useful.

I've gone through the whole website and salivated muchly over the quality of the models. If I had a spare £100 I'd have bought 5 or 6 right now!

That page actually, I can see an entire Inquisitor warband.

Autumn - Psycker Inquisitor
Lady Grigoryan - Imperial Guard, Rogue Trader or Desperado
Selene - Sister of Battle
Rose - A second, lesser psycker

Frankenstein's Monster - The mutant leader that they're tracking down

Elva

I want that Selene one. Looks pretty cool and a fun challenge to paint. I think I might just purchase it.

I have the Autumn and Dracula figures, very nicely detailed and cast - and very good, prompt service from Eolith. Wish I was half as prompt in painting them...

I see a Dark Eldar more than I see a Craftworld Eldar.  The Princess Lea armor/lingerie is something that I would associate with a Wych Succubus.  I could see her as a Wych that has retired from preforming in the arenas, and now is more of a noble, perhaps owning her own Wych team, or even her own arena.  I'm thinking she has a very nice chair in a skybox, where slaves attend to her every need while her Wyches slaughter each other for her amusement.

That's only the painter's choice. Most versions of her I've seen have been like Kaled has done, with a more complete dress.

It seems I'd inadvertantly painted my version similar to Kaled's, with gloves and a long dress rather than skimpy. It also turns out that neither of us liked the face!

Aaah, that's a bit more tasteful for a Craftworld Eldar then.  Still say it could work as a Dark Eldar noble.

She's a bit short for an Eldar, IMO.  I've always seen them as noticeably taller than the human norm and this one is quite short for a 54mm mini.  she's a lovely model, though.  I've got two and haven't painted either, yet...
