yeh, c & c if you want thanks for looking

**malfred**

The bright colors really work. Have you considered making
an army profile for the site?

**Brother Bartius**

Nice work.

I like the colour scheme. It works well.

**Anarchyman99**

Very very nice, A+

**groz**

Well done! The painting is sharp and the color scheme stays true to the Eldar spirit while still being unique.

**JD21290**

looks great, alot of work painting all that yellow lol, made a good job of it, and love the look of the platform warping

**sphynx**

yeh... um... it just teleported in from a local wraithship :þ

**JD21290**

lol, it would be a good laugh to try and paint something as if it is warping, something like warpspiders could work, it would just take ages, and something to work by.

**Ghidorah**

Despite the bad pictures, the army looks nice. I do have a few comp questions, though.
1) Why a Bright Lance on the guardians? A one-shot anti-tank weapon with a 50-50 hit? Higher points cost than other weapons, too.
2) Why the Scatter Laser on the falcon? In 5th, there's no reason to put anything on a Falcon other than a Missile Launcher, with support weapons being S4 and under.
3) 4 heavy support choices?

Anyway, some clearer pictures would be fantastic. I would like o see the Warlock and farseer in greater detail. Looking good. Way to represent us Eldar players!

Well for a start all my other oppontents do some form of space marine generally and at the time, i needed something that could give a land raider and the occasional carnifex a run for its money and desperately. so maybe i did include one too many BL's in the army. for the falcon, that was assembled a good while back, when i was stick such a nub i didnt realise about the advantage of changing secondary weapons. Obviously i cant field all four, (actually i have five with a fire prism on the way) but i like a selection depending on the opponent. My guardain warlock is actually an eldrad ulthuan conversion if you didnt already notice. both of them are quite converted. Finally, yeh my camera is my phone so ill take more pictures and pick the clearest ones.

thanks for commenting

Your fault.

You didnt feed the dog your homework, so it eats your walkers.

**Reecius**

That there is a great looking army, well done.

**sphynx**

New models, just thought i'd show em to you all. C&C depends on my mood ^^

Striking scorpion proto, with a scratch built pilot (alota greenstuff [its on my blog]) and my fire prism

This one's with special character Iyanna Arriel, Angel of iyanden from the previous codex. (does it still fit in with the new rules? just incase anyone has the old codex eldar and would be bothered to check for me.) that took a lot of greenstuff too :þ

And the rest are just as the fire prism, the last 2 being on the body of my falcon as i'd only done the prism turret at that point.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

So, how do you do your Yellow? And your Bone for that matter.

Yellow and Bone. The Two colours I really, really suck at.

**migsula**

Neat work. I really like the Wraithguard.

**Dark Lord G**

Your Fire Prism looks awsome,what unit are you gonna get next? maybe some howling banshees or even some striking scorpions

**nidz**

very nice paint job....... better than I could ever do.

**sphynx**

Striking scorpions inbound G, just takes a while to paint each one, lotta layers and all. When they're done, ill paint my wave serpent and my moonhunter and thats everything ^^)

Hows Uni? anyway you need to upload your stuff for the world to see. Its really good :þ

**Arran235**

Wow

**Dark Lord G**

what other armies have you been thinking of painting

**sphynx**

This one

as well as the idea of a penal legion floatin around

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/218119.page

**sphynx**

right, first i just wanna say thanks to Dark Lord G for fixing my war walkers and also iv made up an old wraithlord. ill take some more cleaner pics soon.

Inbound:

× one more war walker
× completed wave serpent
× completed striking scorpions
× completed storm guardians

**KingCracker**

damn your army looks really good! i like the avatar holding an ultra marines head. on that note, i think everyone that isnt SM hates the Ultra marines.... and thats fun

**sphynx**

hehe true. i know it, you know it, and Calgar is a manic depressant because of it.

**Dark Lord G**

I see youve got your second wraithlord done

**wash-away**
