While this model will very likely not see much table time outside of Apocalypse, I still wanted to explore the way that a Farseer would attempt to deal with the problem of wanting to remove a single target at extreme range. I can't really envision a Farseer actually picking up and using a rifle of any sort (far too random and clumsy) but using their powers to enable a fellow Eldar warrior to fire their own weapon with incredibly enhanced range and ability? That sounds more like the Eldar psykers I know.

So, the concept of a Farseer assisting a Ranger on a single base was born. Spending some more time thinking about it led me to want to add a bit of a twist to the idea which... well, you'll see in the pictures. (Most of them are linked to larger versions in the gallery.)

Commentary, feedback, questions all welcome as always.

That's a pretty damn nice idea you had there, looks great to.

That is a really cool idea and execution of the portals.

: Awesome idea and looks great love how the shot comes out of the 2nd portal

That's a really well executed (geddit) dio mate. Probably not intentional but on the second pic there is a blur that I thought looks a bit like a sonic wave like you've managed to snap the shot just at the magic moment.

CW.

I really like the idea you have with that. Very clever. How did you do the portals?

The portals were done with Woodland Scenic's Water Effects. One of them, I laid some down onto a piece of plasticwrap, did the swirly bit, and let it dry. Then I peeled it off and did the back side of it. The one next to a tree I did on a small piece of harder plastic (since it had to support the bullet trail on its own) and repeated the process, leaving the plastic in place. Each portal then got a wash in blue/orange. Each end of the bullet trail is just a white-painted paper clip bit with some more water effects over the top of it.

Very nice diorama. I love the positioning of everything in the diorama, as well as the base - the water looks very nice. The figures have a very "cooperative" feel to them, if you get what I mean.
