Here's a start on my Altansar Eldar - main theme is going to be black and purple, but the guardian squad is getting a splash of red too. The heavy weapon platform is magnetised for weapon-swappage

The pictures are poorly taken and a bit gigantic, sorry about that...









Got to practice my icon-painting at bit before I go splodging details on these...

The Falcon on that previous Falcon is just too cool. The Altansar guys look so shiney they might have stepped out of the flash gordon movie. kudos on both accounts.

@Troo: Your avatar is great! Som really nice blending. The full silver sword doesn't look right to me, maybe paint the hilt gold and the handle black.


Thanks. Yeah, his sword is also unpainted. I'm dithering about whether to do it blue-white, or the more traditional orange-red. I may have to go for the latter, as the Wailing Doom is a well-defined weapon even if I've tweaked other aspects of his colour scheme to fit my army.

@Doggles: I'm sold on the red-purple paint job. Excellent blending, too!

@YmeLocSquirrel256: Nice Wraithlord! He's so pretty!

@Gavin Thorne: You're conversions are really imaginative, well done, especially with the acpect themed wraithlords. Do you plan on making one for each aspect?

Congratulations, your dismissive and conclusory commentary has provided nothing to this discussion or the wider community on whose behalf you arrogantly presume to speak nor does it engage in any meaningful way the remark it lamely targets. But you did manage to gain experience points toward your next level of internet tough guy.

Having one for each aspect would be amazing, and with Shining Spears I am struggling to work out how you would build an extra large jetbike. A Banshee WL would be interesting. There are loads of great models here!

Lol, that'd be a huge fricking jetbike. He'd have to ride on a waveserpent converted to look like a vyper or something. I've seen a banshee wraithlord on coolminiornot I believe. Was a really cool conversion, used a lot of greenstuff for the hair.

@ Doggles, I really like the paint scheme on your guys too, but you've gotta make one running around with an egg shaped football (GO FLASH GO!)

Its pretty darn big. Maybe twice the height? I think most people get it as a collector piece rather then for their army.

Yeah, you can see a FW Avatar that looks quite decent in Warhammer World, along with two spectacular FW Revenant Titans in the Warhammer World store in a display cabinet.

I also agree, that large avatar is definitely a collector's model, cause that base is just huge, and resin isn't that durable. Still, that is an epic (not the game! lol) model.

Nice work there Durandal, the hair on the GW model makes the guy look like a Banshee Fire Dragon, so it's nice to see a change. In terms of modelling, it looks better too. A Wraithlord head would look great too imo, having an Avatar WL, rather than a Swooping Hawks WL or some other neat conversion. Also great work on those Biel-Tan WG, the colours look very striking.

Not to say that this conversion was bad at all, just if you were wondering.

More on my WIP WL:







I've just done some more work on the base, covering it in water effects, adding and painting green stuff on the original wraithbone section, and of course, adding a dead, burned CSM.

as i said before like troo, i'm a real perfectionist, so i'm going to try my hand at this for a finishing touch...
http://theastronomican.blogspot.com/2008/09/painting-power-weapons.html

any other ideas would be brilliant, i've got until August until i'm entering this for a competition along with my FD unit (which i'll show to you peoples sometime soon) at my LGS.

That would be a big bike.

^ That reminds me of a funny idea I had a while back to mount a WL on the back of a Vyper and have him run about on it like a monkey bike.

I'd completely forgotten that. Hmmm, when I've got the disposable income...

@YmeLoc Squirrel - good to see another Eldar player around, especially Yme Loc!

I'll post some of mine as well the terrain is all done, but _all_ of the tanks are still WIP, simply because I'm a lazy bum who can't focus enough to focus one thing, but instead jumps from tank to tank to tank.... one day, one day soon....

all of the terrain, plus some stuff that is still planned, will come together for a big scenic eldar-table
