I am in the process of getting back into the hobby, future projects include building my Eldar army (might include some previously finished models as well as WIP) and inevitably I'm going to get that Bloodbowl boxset.

On my table right now:

Wraithlord (improved paint job)



Swooping Hawks (WIP, centre model is done)


Swooping Hawk Exarch

More to come.

And one more for now


Swooping Hawks

I like the red, gold and white colour scheme of the wraithlord, and the basing looks great

Looking forward to more!

WarpSpider767,

Very nice start to your PLOG.

Cheers,

CB

Great work, particularly like the exarch!

Nice work!

Wraithlords are that one model I really want, but have no place for in my list. They just look so cool! But the rules are a little lackluster (especially compared with some of the other things in the book) and it competes against grav tanks for HS slots. But it makes me happy to see people paint them. Little guys don’t get enough love these days, being overshadowed by their big brother, the WK.

Hawks are looking good. One of my favorite aspects.

Hawks are done! Now if i could only master my camera...

The hawks are looking very nice

The striped wings look great! Those are lovely blues and whites/.

NEXT UP: WARP SPIDERS

Really nice. Those Swooping Hawks see really striking.

WORK IN PROGRESS:
Warp Spider test model



This is WIP: my first Warp Spider using the 'Shade Gate' shrine colour scheme (as seen in the codex). I wanted something different from the mostly crimson colourscheme as most of my army is this colour anyway. It needs a lot of tidying and highlighting.

Shade Gate example is here: http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/d/dd/Shade_Gate_Warp_Spider.png/revision/latest?cb=20151125184711

It's quite common to do some freehand on the back of these guys, i might attempt the Warp Spider symbol

Turns out i cant freehand so left the back plain.

Looking good I like the gradient on the tip of the deathspinner.

The other 4 Warp Spiders in the middle of batch painting. Most of the base colours are on here and you can see the beginnings of the gradient on the weapons.

Warp Spiders for Warpspider

Looking good

METAL WARP SPIDERS WIP - Because you just have to have 8 warp spiders (bargain on ebay). Notice the different sizes of plastic bits on the bases. Not sure which i prefer.

Finished the Eldar Warp Spiders of the Shade Gate Shrine. Their arrival is very timely, as I have a 1750pt battle tomorrow! I will post about their performance after. I will never paint black armour again, so hard!

Looking excellent dude I'm with you on the black armour front, but you've definitely done better than I have! Very impressive

Thanks very much. Yeah it's such a battle to highlight black. In the end i went for Eshin Grey followed by Fenrisian Grey.

That’s a lot of spiders.

Jealous of your metal ones. One of these days I need to pick up one more of them.

Good luck in your game.

I didn't get much luck last night! My opponent (Ad Mech) had the warlord trait that adds one to reserve rolls, so the spiders didnt make it out until turn 4 . They did kill a Kastelan Robot, but then the game ended.

Reviving an old model.

BLOOD BOWL! This is my test model for my human team, the Bogenhafen Bandits. Now to paint the other 11!

Love the Falcon. One of my favorite Eldar models and the reason I started playing them.

Lineman is pretty cool too.

Thanks! Me too, the Falcon is a great model. Sadly It's been lacking slightly on the tabletop in the last few editions. It just needs something to make you choose it over the WS. I can't really see them buffing it significantly without releasing a new model (not really necessary!)

Remember: Kinda “meh” in the Eldar codex is still a perfectly serviceable unit. One thing that would help it out a bit would to be to let us take them as dedicated transports. Sort of like how Space Marines can take razorbacks. That way it at least isn’t competing with the rest of the HS section.

Last time I took the pair of mine out with bright lances and holofields. One with a squad of fire dragons, the other dire avengers. They did pretty good for themselves.

Love this PLOG so far, really great showing of stuff. I love the way you do your reds, it's got a nice gradient on it and worn appearance. Your blood bowl guy is top notch too, the team will look great all together. Definitely subbing tot his thread to see what you put out next.

The first 6 Bogenhafen Bandits are done (and accessories)!

Really stellar showing. That team is looking great.

Thanks very much! I am hoping to get the other six done in the next week for their debue match!
