40k vs Life

 Hi folks


My son got me a Dark Eldar Razorwing and I have converted it to be part of my Saim Hann Eldar.  I have tried to remain true to the looks of the FW model while keeping work to a minimum.


With the exception of the brightlance bits, I used only what came with the model and it is also the first time I've used GW's new liquid green stuff (along the sides of the body where I had to cut away some of the model to achieve the eldar look.)


All I have left to do is add some plasticard to the tail fins to make them look more like the original model, but that won't be too hard.  And once that's done, I shall basecoat and paint it to match the rest of the army.  One DE feature I am keeping is the cutouts along the trailing edge of the wing, I plan to paint it so that area looks like wraithbone and should make it stand out abit more :)

As always comment are most welcome :)

Hi Folks

Just thought I would share a cool looking project log just started by someone worth following.

Here is the linky: click me!

Leave some feedback and enjoy!

Cheers and Happy Hunting

Hi folks

I just got my handy FW newsletter in!  The Wraithseer is available for preorder and the experimental rules for it are sweet!!!

Like I thought, it counts as a spiritseer and makes having a wraithlord / wraithguard unit very hard to pass up.  I have already penciled one into my army and hopefully will get one in the near future.

I think all this love thats been showered down on the Eldar is a good thing and perhaps FW (and maybe GW too) have realised if you give the masses lots of goodies, they will buy them.



Check it out here, and the rules are here!

So lets here it for Forge World!!!!

Cheers and Happy Hunting

Hi there folks

Well, the Eldar Phantom is now available to pre-order for everyone now!   But at 350 pounds stirling!, only those die-hard eldar players will get them I suspect.  They are an amazing bit of kit, but would rarely get used.  You can also get the experimental rules here!



I would like to know how many people would actually like to get one of these, I would if I had the cash :)

Cheers!

Hi Folks

Just came across this on Bell of Lost Souls ( thanks BigRed)....

Hi there folks


I've been doing the rounds of the gaming boards to get feedback on the recent crop of Eldar units to be released by Forge World.  Overall the reactions range from good to excellent, and I have to say I agree.  When Imperial Armour 11 ships, I can see alot of people buying it just for the rules.  I've listed the units that I personally intend to get with my opinion of it.

First of all there is the Warp Hunter.  I have one on order already, after all it's a falcon with a D-Cannon. 'Nuff said .

Then there are the Wasps.  Deep striking, scoring, super jumping walkers.  These things made the standard war walkers obsolete overnight.  And at just 15pts more on average they are a no brainer, get some!

Also there is the Lynx.  This is a super heavy skimmer that can fly as well.  The model looks lovely and it can mount a sonic lance or pulsar cannon, sweet!

And just a couple days ago, FW showed off the new Wraithseer.  Another amazing model, but no rules yet so we can only hold our breath and hope for some good abilities (Personnally I  want one anyway, no matter what the rules are)

Now they have also released the Shadow specter aspect warriors and the Hornet, but even though they look cool, I feel that the costs of the models makes them not really that economical, especially the hornet.

I think in the next few months as these units make their presence known, the Eldar may be able to withstand the recent bashings that have come as a result of the metagame dex's out there.

So here are a couple pics of my Banshees finally finished!

Well, I've had 3 days off work (Almost unheard of) and I managed to complete my wraithlords.  Sorry about the pic quality, but I need batteries for my good camera.   Here are the pics :)





As usual, comments and critiques most welcomed :)

Hi There Folks

 Well, I have just finished my Falcons and will be starting on my wraithlords now, below are pics of one so far not much more to do but tidy up the paint job and do some detailing.

Well, hopefully you can see some of the detail and blending I've done.  The base of my main WL is my fav bit as it has one of my sons' old Iron Warrior models as basing material :)  Any questions, just ask!

Cheers
