I have a couple of those old models as well (exactly the same ones). I'll see if I can get pics.

Rogue Trader/2nd edition Exarch - Shuriken Pistol and Web of Skulls
3rd edition Exarch - Shuriken cannon, raised, while pointing.
4th edition Exarch - Standard pose, interchangeable tempest launcher or missile launcher

Anything else is probably a Harlequin Death Jester or if it's particularly large and with a back banner formed from a spine, Maugan Ra - pics please so we can see!

It could well be the 3rd edition exarch - its helmet looks dark reapersh and it seems a lot newer than the death jester I remember.

Gits those are some really old minis! Very rare specimens indeed. I like the yellow and black scheme. Really need some more old eldar - I might just have to buy some now

If I ever get to revamping my eldar... I may go back to that scheme... now that I'm good enough to paint it properly.

Cool - it is pretty funky.

Here is the miniature in question - with the start of a paint job

Never seen that one b4.

Nice exarch!

The 3rd edition Exarch!

The eldar raiding party expands! I dug these out of a dusty box today - I had forgotten all about them. Also I bit the bullet and ordered some old-school harlequins and guardians.

I've got the lascanon version of that knocking around somewhere I think!

Said they'd be better than my old figs Gits, they've got more than 3 colours, plus shading/highlighting

Nice exarch there weety, and the gun crew too. Think I've still got a couple of the older(I think, more of a tripod feel) base unit for the gun, in fact I know I have, as I can remember trying to fit an ork to one

And, ohh, harlequins. They should be fun.

Yes - a good opportunity to go mad with colours and patterns! That's my plan anyways

The exarch takes shape - I think I might do some more to the gun but I'm generally v happy - check out the gems

Nice work weety... love the gun and gems!

Very nice, the gems are indeed lovely.

Holy heck that's just a joy

Thanks you guys! I'm painting the grav-platform and gunners now and lots more eldar are making there way here through the royal mail webway system. I think another 5 guardians and 5 harlequins... and a dark reaper aspect warrior to keep the exarch company

These guys have the funk - they have descended from the mothership to bring the funk to earth...

they are not quite finished yet - more work needed on the gun. I think the morning light plus my lightbulb is making them look a bit funkier than they are. More colourful like.

Love to see someone good paint all these old minis. I always loved that particular set of eldar gunners. Well done weety!

Now I have Parliament's "Flashlight" in my head. THANKS WEETY.

Very very nice weety , they really evoke some memories .
great paint work , the metals and gems are fantastic

Good job

Is that gunner trying for the 'blue steel' look?

Monkey those arn't his lips - thats his "call center of death" microphone - I should define it more. But if they were his lips then I really see the resemblance! Blue steel it is.

Thanks all - I should be back a bit more frequently now I have eldar on the brains. I have undercoated my wraithlord walker thing from all the way back on page 4-5 or whatever. So who knows I might paint it!?

More eldar arrived yesterday - I will stick some pics up when they are primed.

Second scout -

I actually still use that scout along with his buddies as my eldar scouts. The aren't as old as the previous models... but darn nice models all the same.

Just finished catching up on things after my hollies, and have to agree with all - those are some mighty fine Eldar! This Pen-zanith place, wouldn't happen to resemble a bunch of geodesic domes purporting to be "greenhouses" would it?

No that would be the eden craftworld... Penzanith is at least 30 miles/parsecs down the road. I like the eden project - it is the only rainforest I will get to see.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
I live in penzance - and its in an area called penwith. Splice the two together and you get pen-zanith, which sounds kinda eldarish

Heres more eldar fresh from the internet. I have turned the contrast up so you can see the detail. There are more on the way in the post.

Harlequins top row.

Correctomundo miss dee. Gona have to come up with some crazy colour scheme for them. Maybe involving pastel shades and patterning
