Ok,
Here are some first pics of my Eldar which I don't remember if some of you may have seen. These are only guardians, but converted ones. Don't expect much detail on them, since they are so expendable. They do the job fine, though.

Nice, BW. I really like the "glass" on the scope on the second one. The big pic makes it easy to cheat and see how you did it.
ReplyDeleteBut what is he holding? And why is he looking at it like it is a cool refreshing brew?
I know these aliens, Costi. And as an aspiring Eldar, I'm not sure I agree that they are an expendable troop type. The latest 40k remix makes troops the only choice that can hold an objective for scoring purposes. These guys are fragile but fast. A Warlock with Conceal is some small compensation, though. The Dire Avengers are the bomb (much imporoved so much more effective).
ReplyDeleteI've had less than average success against Matt's IG. Lacking transport and so mobility, the Eldar suffer. Eldar make a bad static gun line. The verminous IG always close and my guardian squads go down screaming.
I finally decided on a color scheme straight from the codex: Crafworld Iybraesil. They are turqoise and white. The scheme doesn't come together until the last minute. I've finished five--took me two weeks. Maybe I should create a narrative for Craftworld Anal Obsessive Compulsive. When I finish the squad and the warlock I'll post the pics.
I chased you around the world on omoo only to find you changed emails again without my knowledge. Write me and we can catch up.
Cheers.
Thanks man! I thought that guardians could get grenades (and that was the initial intention --do I drink it or throw it?) but you could say it is a motion tracker that detects foreign bodies through monitoring their psychic emanations --should I keep going with the techno-jargon or not? In any case, it was on the guardian sprue, and so I decided to give one guardian one of these, possibly suggesting that he is a squad leader (whoever holds the cool gadget gets to be the leader).
ReplyDeleteWow! that was eerie! simultaneous posting!
ReplyDeleteHrm. I didn't so much think "refreshing brew" as "personal pleasure device," but whatever.
ReplyDeleteNicely painted Eldar despite their kinky preoccupations, BW. :)
Great job on these, Bubbles. That standard looks great.
ReplyDeleteMalt Liquor and dildos? Sure this thing isn't Dark Eldar, instead.
