You would! Thanks though.

I think you'll have to reserve an IF marine for the DW heavy slot. Heavy Bolter or Lascannon would work

I almost did that in the first place, with the HB from the sternguard sprue. The fact that I wanted to be able to use them as both tactical and sternguard stopped me though. As IMHO the only heavy weapon worth swapping out the special ammo for is a heavy flamer. What I’ll probably end up doing though is a missile launcher. Not because it’s any good (I’d prefer a HB or LC honestly) but because if can be used one handed, without a special backpack. So I can magnetize the arm, and swap out for a bolter if needed. Of course this is all assuming I get around to doing them during this rule set. They might actually come out with rules for DW squads, change options for SG/tacs, or something completely different.

As for chapters of origin, I already have a son of Dorn. I still need a BA, UM, and IH marine, or one of their successors. So while a IF heavy weapon marine is thematic and cool, I suspect if I do put one together, he’s going to be an Iron Hand. Or course, I have 4 slots to fill, and only 3 primarchs to represent, so someone is going to double up. As there are transfers for the ‘Fists, the odd of them taking the spare slot are high.

Forgive me Dakka, for I have sinned. I put unpainted minis on the table for a game. I almost confessed to non-WYSWYG, but I think I actually was OK on that front. So yesterday was the first Wednesday intro night at the FLGS. The goal was to have a casual 500 point night, where people starting out could get a game in, and learn the ropes. While there was only one new person who did show, there was a good showing of the regulars, so we had around 8 ish guys there. There was also a MtG event going on, so it was a little chaotic.

My list:
Farseer, on bike w/spear
5 DA
10 guardians w/brightlance
3 jetbikes
Falcon, scatter laser, holofields.

Edit: picture


4 of us ended up playing pairs, so it was me and a ravenguard force (VVs w/melta bombs, JP captain, tacs in rhino) vs. orcs (lootas,foot boyz, some vehicle thing, boss) and DA (drop dread, scouts, tacs in rhino, captain). We won, but man am I rusty on the eldar front. Makes sense, since I think I last played them near the end of 2nd. I think I could make a list in 3rd, but don’t know if I ever fielded them. Some big things I need to work on, like mastering the psychic phase, and little things like remembering fleet. And that’s not counting the paradigm shift of not playing marines. I can’t just punch rhinos to death, guardians in the open just get to eat random death from bored stormbolters, and where is my anti-tank? I’m so used to everyone having krack grenades. My farseer eventually killed the drop pod with his spear, but it was a close thing. Going from the master generalists to the hyper specialists is a little rough. Still, fun was had and some of the rust was knocked off. A good learning experience.

The irony of going straight from painting Deathwatch to fielding Eldar is not lost on me.

I know the general concensus is that people would prefer playing painted minis, but dont worry too much about it. I play with unpainted stuff, and I play against it. I've got no problem with it...

The psychic phase is definately different than marines. You can actually do something It takes a while to learn which powers are needed, wanted and superfluous. A lesson I think I'm finally learning with my WoC.

I saw some pictures of the new harlies... Awesome. I'm not sure if the Solitare is a HQ unit? And, I fairly sure the Harlie troupe were troops... Harlequin army? Yes please! Do you have any harlequins under the layers of dust? Whats your take on the new ones?

Do I have anchient minis collecting dust? I think you know the answer to that one While RTB01 gets most of the limelight as far as old box sets go, it was not the only one. RTB06 might be getting a little more love with the harlequins once again taking center stage. And one that I have in my collection. The new ones look very cool, but I don’t know if I’ll pick them up. Mostly because doing any sort of justice to their paintjob is a daunting task. The fact that I own a dozen and an half old metal ones is another strike against them. I looked at, but did not analyze/digest the rules. I’m always wary of putting to much faith on early leaks. While it might looks complete on the dataslate, there might be something missing on another page, or something else in the wings (like the next few weeks) That said, I did ask my FLGS to hold a copy of the WD for me, and will be buying my first GW magazine in decades. I just checked, the last one on the shelf is WD290, March ’04.

They are a fragile, hard hitting, foot assault unit. With all sorts of upgrades and tricks. Unknowns are their dedicated transport, and the relics. And other things, like the format of their codex, if there is going to be one, or just a collection of dataslates. Although with the inclusion of relics, a codex looks likely. Which begs the question, do I want to shell out $50+ for one unit? Well a few, probably.

I guess I’ll sum it up with “Hopeful anticipation”.

I sold my Harly box, I never fielded them in RT but always wanted too.

Good work on taking the filthy Xenos on such a successful first outing.

I guess I should brace for the xenos cracks, seeing that I’m fond of tossing them at all my imperial friends who stray from the true path.

It’s Friday, so I feel compelled to report. Not a whole lot done since I finished the Deathwatch. While waiting for the game to start on Wednesday, I did do some work on cleaning mold lines from Eldar rangers, got some progress done there. I’m wary of bring up paints to the FLGS, as in the past I had some freeze in the car and separate. But cleaning/construction just requires bits, files, and my hobby knife (which has a cap). As one of my goals for this blog was getting pictures of my old stuff uploaded, I’ll claim progress with my weekly support of the Flashback Friday thread, with part two of my Undead.

From a month/YTD progress things are looking good. I’m counting the first half week as part of last year, so right now I’ve done 4 models in 4 weeks, right on schedule!

Hope everyone has a good weekend. May your favored team win the Superbowl for those who care, and even if you don’t, use it as an excuse to make a pot of chili and have a few beers.

Not quite happy with the shade of red. I’d like it to be a little brighter, but not full-on candy apple/firetruck red. I think if I put the black slash across the hood, it might come together, but I might give it a red wash first to see what that does. Not sure, still on the fence. Overall my existing minis are quite dark, with the other vehicles being done in my “black wash everything” phase, and the guardians in a black/red scheme. So compared to them, this might be bright enough and if I went any farther would break army cohesion.

On the workbench I’ve got 4 vanguard vets cut and sorted into blisters. Next step is clean up, assembly, and magnets.

Week overall has been slow and irritating. The Boy was home sick Mon-Wed, and we got over a foot and a half of snow dumped on us. Most was in a big lump on Monday, but a few inches spread across the week, just to make sure I was out with the blower or shovel almost every day. Due to all that, I punted on hitting up the FLGS for the Wednesday night league this week. While The Wife might be OK with me heading up there, obviously life has other plans.

Too bad you don't have an airbrush. You could do some really subtle shading on that bike that would probably look great without ruining your theme.

If there is any army that really craves an airbrush, it’s eldar. Unfortunately, I just work with the tools I have. In my next house I’m going to have a well lit, well ventilated workspace so I can have fun toys. But right now I work in the basement like a troglodyte.

Been there my friend. Been there.

Just so you don’t think I’m completely slacking off, 4 vanguard vets ready to prime. Fully magnetized.

Power Axe/SS (or combat shield if doing time as an assault sarge) Melta bomb.
CCW/BP, Melta bomb.
CCW/BP
Power Spear/BP

As VVs can hand out MBs on a per model basis, I needed to actually have some on minis. It’s not just like a normal squad where I can handwave it onto the sarge. So two guys get them hanging off their belts. Spear is just because. I know they are mechanically a little sub-par, but I had the bits from the GK box, and wanted to have the option available. I should probably cob together a power maul for the same reason. Of course, I actually like to field mauls, but so far only my chaplains and librarians get them.

Not that I expect to prime anytime soon. Right now we have about 2 feet of snow on the lawn. Zig-zaged with trenches and redoubts that would do a guardsman proud. Teaching The Boy about lanes of fire, avenues of approach, and fall-back positions. But some day spring will come, the snow will melt, and I’ll be ready to prime some minis!

One of my friends here is hounding me to get an air brush as well. While not a 40k guy, he does model cars. So I’m getting pressure locally as well. If everything lines up, I could be in a new space in 3-5 years. At the rate I work, there should still be plenty of stuff on my bench, even without buying anything new.

Those VVs came out of no where!

They look good. I like the spear, it gives them something less normal, and makes them feel 'different'.

An airbrush is a whole different set of skills. All this time i've been painting fantasy I've been relearning brush skills - I got a bit complacent when I was airbrushing white for the Scars

Looking nice, they're nice kits, I've not really seen them. How do you find the do on the tabletop I've never fielded them?

I wish I had more bits to give them. The spear is a good start. These guys are the cream of the chapter’s close combat marines, with open access to the armory to choose their weapons. The fact that most of them are packing bolt pistols and chainswords kinda ruffles my feathers from a fluff POV, but the the gamer in me keeps yelling to keep their points down. I almost went a little extra crazy on gearing up these four, figuring I’d rarely field more then a 5 man squad. Ticking out these guys with fancy toys would boost the options magnetized that could be swapped around as needed. But the desire to keep my shelf deployment something reasonable held me back.

RandyMcStab wrote:Looking nice, they're nice kits, I've not really seen them. How do you find the do on the tabletop I've never fielded them?

I’ll let you know when I actually do field them. While I do endeavor to get as much fresh paint as I can on the table, the Vanguards haven’t found a spot in a list since they were finished. My partner in the last game was fielding a 5 man squad of them in a RG list with only JPs and MBs for gear, as a bodyguard for his HQ. They seemed to work OK for him. Advance behind a rhino for cover, leap around at last minute, blender stuff. Ork bits everywhere.

I like the kit, from a modeling POV. Both vet kits really, them and the sternguard. So much fun. Picking up a second box of VVs was mostly for the stormshields in the LotD counts-as, but also I dislike 5 men squads on the shelf. Even if I never field them as a full squad, the codex dictates marines are organized into 10 man squads. The fact that I need to trade bits before getting the last guy done slightly bothers me. But I only need 9 men for my plan. When they fixed the LR back to a 10 man capacity I was worried about who would my chaplain would charge down the assault ramp with, as he couldn’t fit with the assault terminators anymore. Vanguard vets are going to be the answer. but probably not until late spring, as I need to prime and paint them. The 5 I have now might see the table with jump packs before then though.

This is a little more of a process piece, rather then just a WIP update. With the VVs off the workbench, I thought it was time to put some magnet magic on the grav tanks. This would let me actually field the wave serpent if I wanted to. Fun fact: one of the Falcons was the first model I ever magnetized. However, the magnet I used popped off, so if needed to be re-done.

Here is the start pic. All the parts more or less laid out.

Here are the magnets themselves. 2mm ones are stocked my my FLGS, the larger ones (.125”) I picked up from ThinkGeek a while back. I know you can get them cheeper elsewhere, but I’m a big fan of connivence.


While you can build special tools to help keep polarity lined up, I just use a BB glued to a piece of sprue, and stacks of magnets.

So if I wanted to make sure both Falcons use the same polarity, I set up on one, and then break off half the stack, put glue on the end one, and press it up against the other tank.


One nice thing I discovered is that the holes on the heavy weapons are 2mm wide and 2 magnets deep. So it was a simple process of putting glue on a pair of magnets and running them in there. This also means that the guns can be placed on either side of the WS turret, or onto the side of the Flacon. You might notice that one of the scatter lasers has a nail head, rather then a magnet. This is from my early days magnetizing, where I was buying much more expensive magnets from Radio Shack, and didn’t have a pin vice. It’s not like it needs the duel magnet strength to keep itself attached. The armor bit for the other one was glued on year ago, the other is free, so I could use the pair of scatters on the WS if I wanted.

And the finished shot:


Getting the chin guns swappable looks to be a little harder, as will be getting the infantry platforms and viper ready. My old viper is firmly glued together, but the new one will be more flexible.

Making good work on those eldar!

Out of curiosity, are the magnets strong enough to prevent droopy gun syndrom?

The barrels on the Eldar guns are nice and slim, while they have a chunk of mass at the back. Unlike most imperial guns which are chunky throughout. They all kept pointed nicely at their targets last night. Yup, it was Wednesday, so league night at the FLGS! Bumped up to 750 this time.



Farseer
10 man guardian, brightlance platform, WS w/brightlance, holofield
5 man DA, exarch w/power sword, shimmerfield (in one of the Falcons)
2xFalcons, scatterlaser, holofields

Opponent was Tau. 2 firewarrior squads, one pathfinder. Commander in suit, with 3 suited buddies, hammerhead.

Dawn of war/relic was the mission. He castled up in a corner to start. I drifted forward with the tanks, shot up some suits first turn. His return fire didn’t do much, as I was mostly out of range and behind cover. Turn two the falcons finish removing all the suits from the table, getting me first blood and warlord. I see where people complain about large volumes of high S fire from Eldar. A pair of falcons, generally regarded as sub-par, were doing mean things to his elite/HQ squad. I disembarked the troops to help gun down the tau infantry while my tanks switched their focus to the hammerhead. I then got to witness why some people complain about Tau. He markerlighted my guardians hiding in ruins, stripping away their cover save and boosting the BS of a firewarrior squad. That was ugly. But soon the hammerhead was silenced, and the remaining tau routed, Eldar victory via tabling, top of round 5 IIRC. Casualties to the craftworld were 2 dire avengers and 10 guardians (and one HP worth of WS)

Lesons learned:
Tau fire is bad. I should have stayed in the tanks longer. I knew this before getting out, but it was a friendly game and I would have felt like a dick just drifting around at 30”+ scatter lasering his firewarriors to death. Tau's ability to ignore cover is bad for people who need it to live.
Boxing up the farseer in the WS removed a lot of his potential. No firing ports makes for a bored psyker.
If I’d doing an aggressive deployment with the guardians, I should take a platform that helps them. The brightlance platform was mostly useless.

While I was up there I also picked up the WD with the harli rules. I’ll probably sit down and read it this afternoon.

Quick snapshot of some WIP:


I masked off the stripe with tape. While it helped get the edge, it was not perfect, and pulled off some of the base color. Still, progress. But I need to pick up the pace a little bit if I want to keep to my goals. Month is halfway gone, and no finished minis. Not good, not good. It was a productive week on the assembly side, so not a complete loss.

Hope everyone has a nice Valentines Day.

Little build update:

I had picked out parts for this guy a while ago, but never got around to glueing him together, as I wasn’t sure what upgrades I’d eventually want to run with. The big one was if I wanted to come up with a fusion gun. I decided that I’d rather get him done with one option, and I can always forgo WYSWYG (gasp!) if needed. So here is the Autarch with a power stabby thing and a arm mounted pistol. Budget wargear will just be a power sword, but I suspect I’ll get much better results with the relic blade. It’s a lot of extra killy for 40 points.

Also in build news are magnets on the flight stands for the bikes with corresponding fixtures in the bikes. While the conection to the stand is not the best, they should serve. The next question is what to do for the tanks. With there larger, more disperse, mass, I’m not sure the little 2-3mm magnets are going to have enough force to keep them on the stands, and not just fall off. Anyone out there magnetize bases for tanks? I’d rather not glue the pegs in as it would complicate transportation. But having them fall out every time I pick up the tank to move it is getting old.

'Look, no hands!'
lol. I dont think Autarchs get much love, compared to seers on bikes. Nice to see a bit of a change, and something choppy in a strong shooty army. From a playability point of view, mantle of the laughing god (if I recall correctly), is a good upgrade to boost survivability...

Not got any decent ideas for the tank bases. I never magnetised any of my tanks when I had my brief stint of Eldar. I cant think of any ideas off the top of my head, either.

Who do you think he is, some graceless monkey? The handlebars are just there for show, he can dance through the air with but a thought, and needs his hands free to kill everyone in his path.

An autarch was going to be part of this list since I saw him. Saim-Hann are on the rough and tumble, violent side of the eldar. While they have farseers, they don’t strike me as nearly prominent as other craftworlds. They should be lead into battle by someone who enjoys the wind in his hair and running down some upstart race who’s on the wrong planet. Mechanically, the reserve manipulation seemed like it might be required for the crimson hunter, who really needs to show up at the right time or is going to get shot down. The mantle does seem nice if I’m going to be running him solo. I plan of painting the harlequin rune on his banner to represent it, even if I don’t always equip it.

The need for a little CC was also brought to light in the first game I played with my eldar a few weeks ago. I charged my farseer into a drop pod, needing to kill it. He’s an HQ, and has an armor bane weapon, no problem, right? S user+2d6 is not the best for a skinny little xenos. But he’s a HQ and should have a few attacks base. Nope. Mr. I’m-a-robe-wearing-gimp only has one. At least he had a pistol.

Sorry for the late update. Last week was both The Boy’s winter break from school and my folks coming up for a visit Wed-Sun. So what free time I had was either very early, or late in the day and not a whole lot of progress was made. Did get some work done on the bike farseer. The bike itself got a little cleaned up, and a few more colors on the rider. One thing I had planned when I made him was a swappable head. The farseer one that came with the new plastic one, and a less ornate helm to be used for a warlock. This was found in the crimson hunter kit. In theory it’s for the hemlock wraithfighter pilot. I’d drilled a 2mm hole in the torso for a magnet, but not installed it, back when I first started this project. Just this week I put magnets in the heads. 2mm is a very tight fit, and there was some tearing of the plastic. Hence a little greenstuff smoothed over the necks. I’ll drop a magnet into the body when I’m done painting it. I learned a long time ago not to glue and paint at the same place a/o time.

At some point I need to decide on what I’m doing about gems. Right now I’m ignoring them.

I like the way the farseer is coming along Nev. Nicely done.

Beautifully painted Eldar. That seer is coming along nicely.

Thanks for the kind words guys.

When I paint, I try to make sure that everything ties together into the same army theme. For my Ultras, this is fairly easy. The only hard part is when I run out of paint and they’ve changed the formula on me. That and trying to color match minis that have had the color bleached out of them by years of sunlight and covered in dust. For my Eldar, I want to mix it up a little. First off, my old stuff was done in my “black wash everything” days. It worked well for my chaos and undead armies, but is only so-so for space elves. I don’t think I’ll go so far as to strip the old stuff, but I’m defiantly not going to continue going forward. But when painting my farseers, I had to go back to the shelf and look at what I did before. "Did I go with bone or gold on the armor?" and other such questions. Seeing that I missed flashback friday last week due to guests, I’ll take this time to show you the old psychic crew who will be leading my forces to victory. Two old warlocks and a pair of harlequin avatars, dating at best to mid/late 2nd ed. And that’s for the warlocks, I know the harlis are RT.

Farseer on jetbike a/o warlock on bike done. Simple headswap lets me use the guy for what I need. Spear option for both, naturally, as that’s glued on. And like the autrch, he don’t need no stinking hands to fly.

In progress on the bench is the farseer on foot with a staff. Although the month is almost over, so I need to pick up the pace. I do count bike models as two though, one for the rider, one for the bike, so I’ve got two down.

It’s come to my attention that farseers can no longer equip staves. So the guy on the bench will hereafter be a spiritseer. That’s fine, I needed to grab one anyway. Here is a WIP, with a special guest from the back of the workbench:


I may have been influenced by another blogger painting old dwarves, and he’s been lurking in the back for a while now. So an elf and a dwarf getting paint together, how very LotR.

And it’s Wednesday, so I should be able to head up to the FLGS for league night. Up to 1,000 points, so I added 250 on to last time’s list. Mostly in the form of a unit of fire dragons and a lot up upgrades. Like a warlock for the guardians, and mounting the seer on a bike, and giving him the laughing mantle. Ghostwalk matrixes for the falcons as well.



We’ll see how it does.

Your Eldar army is getting bigger!

Why cant seers equip staves? That doesn't seem right. If the wording is 'force weapon', then you can take a force stave..

Where did that dwarf come from?!

Because they don’t have force weapons. They start with witchblades, and can upgrade to shining spears. Unless I’m missing something, which is entirely possible.

The dwarf comes from a time out of memory. I suspect he was purchased back when we started gathering minis for out D&D games. He looks to be Norse Dwarf #09 from the ’88 catalog which fits the timeframe. That’s assuming he is one I purchased, which I might not have. I’ve received a number of mini dumps of unwanted lead over the years, and he might be from one of those. But at some point in more recent history I found him in the pile, and as we still lack decent dwarfs (now for Pathfinder) I cleaned him up and primed him. And then he slowly marched to the back of the bench, waiting for his turn with the classic dwarven stone-like patience.

It was another victory for the forces of pointy ears last night. Game was vs. the same Tau guy from last time. He was fielding a 7 man unit of pathfinders, 3x10 squads of fire warriors, one in a devilfish, a hammerhead, riptide, and commander. Dawn of War/Emperor’s will. He lines up on the 12’ line, mostly in the open. It might have worked better for him, but I seized the intuitive. Tanks drift forward, focus mostly on the pathfinders, blow chunks out of them and force them to break and run off the table. His return fire is mostly jinked away, barring the two wounds he puts on my farseer with smart missiles. No LOS needed, ignores cover, and decent S/ROF does bad things to non-IC characters relying on cover saves to live. He advanced forward, very aggressively with the riptide.

I disembarked the dragons and guardians, while the DA’s falcon moved to get a shot on the commander, who was using JSJ to keep out of LOS. Even with Doom, the riptide took a ton of fire before going down. Luckily I had the fire to use, and killed it. Some poor dice rolls on my part, but good enough. Return fire is ugly, killing the guardians an some of the dragons, and the seer. But my next turn sees the end of the hammerhead and his commander, and the rest is just a mop-up opperation until the game ends on turn 5. We both have out objectives and warlord, but I have linebreaker and first blood. If we had gone another turn, I suspect I would have killed the last squad of FWs camping his objective.

Note on the dragons: Eldar on foot are fast. I’m so used to disembarked melta troops getting their one shot, then kinda shuffling around for the rest of the game. After shooting the riptide (which the needed to run to get closer to) they hoofed to towards the tanks, killing the hammerhead. They weren’t in melta range, but massed fusion guns worked. They finished the devilfish off with meltabombs.

Fresh paint report for the jetseer: Being mobile and able to target things with powers was nice, but nowhere to hide against Tau missile fire was his downfall. He did OK, and the dooming of the riptide is what let me kill it in one round.

I was out running errands and needed to pick up some wax at the craft store for The Wife’s candle making project. It’s dangerous to go in there unchaperoned.

Flush cutters, so I’m not using old, dull wire cutters to take things off the sprue.
Micron black pen, for scribbling on banners/seals/tabards/etc. When I get around to doing the Banner of Macragge, this will be required.
Little ziplock bags. A lot of arms these days are paired together. I figure I can cut them and store them in bags, so I don’t need to spend forever trying arms to find the ones that fit together from the bits box.
Metal ruler. For cutting out play-aid cards. Scissors suck for that.
Paint scraper spatula. For applying glue/snow flock mix to bases. As someone who appreciates his offset spatulas for frosting cakes/cookies, I figure I should get one for my modeling work as well.

And just so I have a record for if/when I go back though this thread to figure out how much I spent on the hobby in 2015, that lot ran me about $25.

For those of you who are unaware, Paradigm is organizing a monthly painting competition. March’s theme is “Space Marine” I don’t think I posted my latest HG after I built him, but as he is primed and ready, he’ll be my entry for the month.


And lastly, an updated WIP shot of the good Seer:


Coming along nicely. The gold needs another pass, and I think I might highlight and wash the sash. I’ve already started blocking colors out on the staff, but that and the head shouldn’t take much time.
