Its the call centre of hot death! He calls up and asks if you are interested in purchasing a can of wup-ass.

Potatoes and spinach are on my menu and soon we will harvest onions and marrows and pumpkins. Personally I want to eat somethings flesh but I still have to go to the shop for that.

Makes my assorted herbs, fruit and chillis pale by comparison. Love the monochrome eldar, and happy childhood memories brought back (you going to tackle Harlequins anytime?)

You should see the Raspberries growing at my place.

And we may have to learn to survive in whatever crackpot world is left after the collapse of the world economy. So I recommend lots of tinned and dried food, a sawn-off shotgun and a suit of armour made from car tires and random scrap. Also convert car to run on pig-gak and replace windshield with a sturdy mesh...

Well, that's why you play NEcromunda, right? To practice your survival skills, right?

...

Right?

Bueller?

yes indeed... survival practice!

graven image - I would like to try some harlequins but I will have to buy some first unfortunately. But I love bright colours so they are right up my street

Nice work on the eldar weety... have many of those lying in a box somewhere myself. Not as nicely painted of course. Looking forward to seeing where you go from here.

your comedy stylings are much appreciated mr M. Troll

I have been very distracted of late. But here are some finished eldar!! - Having trouble getting the camera to focus perfectly so I might try again tommorow.

They are from the craftworld Pen-zanith...

Very nice, although I always thought Pen-Zanith was an exodite colony?

edit: What did you use for the grey armour? I've never got grey to look good. Well, extremely fething rarely anyway.


Bad distractions!

GASP!

An actual Shuriken Catapult!

Nice to see you around again, Weety!

Pen-zanith - in the south western end of the cornish star cluster, at the end of the A30...

The grey is built up from my usual black wash over white undercoat with wet blended white, a grey wash and a highlight - it is hard to get right as its easy to make it lumpy

yeah briancj its well old that catapult. I think these are some of the very first eldar to be made.

So ancient they're still wearing their chainmail.

'Course, that's fairly standard tech around the Cornish star cluster.

That include electric?

I believe the electric supply is fairly steady. Just as long as someone is keeping the hamsters running on the dynamos.

The A30 is an ancient webway portal along which other, more modern eldar come to bask in the exodite pen-zanith craftworlds rustic-ness. Bloody tourists...

I'm afraid cornwall no longer gets its electricity from hamsters as they died of old age and broken hips. So we are now powered by a contingent of small yappy dogs with "tail-wag" generators attached to their rears. We just have to keep throwing the chew toy. Bloody wires keep getting tangled though

Ohh commiserations. Those hamsters were much quieter than small yappy-type dogs. Didn't get ideas above their station from being fed food named Caesar either. Probably didn't chew the wires quite so often either.

Hamsters are buggers for chewing through wires, but not as bad as rabbits.
I have better photos - and the eldar forces grow:

Love those old eldar (pirates originaly). If you guys are lucky I'll *never* show you mine (painted a long, long time ago).

Go on show us it'll be fun! You could always strip them and re-paint?

I'm in a very eldarish mood tonight - I've made a start on a dark reaper exarch - a farly new mini for me but I just loved his big shuriken cannon

Typical exarch, trying to impress the ladies with his big cannon

Go on, dig 'em out Gits. Can't be any worse than some of the very early ones I've posted. Done in the 'Red bit, Blue bit, pink splodge, pink splodge, pink splodge' style I was experimenting with at that time

OK... I think they were re-painted once from their original about 12 years ago... maybe more. In any case you guys will get a good laugh out of them. I'll post them tomorrow.

now i am curious as to what you deem horrible gitsplitta...


anyway... lovley eldars weety... seeing them even in so little numbers makes me think ablut future armies one day...gosh you do realize your blog is one of the deadliest when it comes to good fed wallets?

Forgot that I had a pic of some of my old models already in my gallery.


The two in the lower left were painted long ago and modeled after the original black and yellow pirate scheme that was in one of the really early rule books (I can see the diorama in my head). I just couldn't do the stripes back then (but with all my tranquility camo practice I'm pretty sure I could do them now). These need to be dipped and re-painted... but that's a project for another day (decade).

So, there is hope young painters! You too can get better with time and practice!

You sure that is not a Death Jester?

Yeah, I'm suspecting Death Jester unless it's the 3rd edition Reaper Exarch as that's the only one that's had a Shuriken Cannon.

Held with one arm while pointing with the other.

Those are RT/1st edition eldar. There were no such things as aspect warriors... just eldar troops. Back then they had missile launchers, las cannons, flamers, plasma guns, melta guns, power fists, etc.

About the only thing they had that was really different was the shiruken catapult. The guy in the lower left has a missile launcher and the guy next to him has the las cannon.

We're actually referencing Weety stating she was working on a Dark Reaper exarch Gits!

I'm in a very eldarish mood tonight - I've made a start on a dark reaper exarch - a farly new mini for me but I just loved his big shuriken cannon

One had a web of skulls.

Oops!! Sorry guys... I was a bit confused by the comments... that would explain why.

Please feel free to ignore the gitsplitta.
