Thank you!

Nev, this is what I am calling "done" at this point. If I get too bogged down with details I will probably just end up painting them for real.

Have not decided on a Craftworld name yet, but the army will follow an Iyanden theme of mostly spirit warriors.

Got the two Wave Serpents done.



Thanks for looking!

And the Night Spinner. That's the 4 tanks done.

Nice work on the Watcher! I think you made the right call on leaving most of its lanterns off.

Thanks, aku! Yeah, I didn't want to have to deal with all that stuff when we were pushing this guy around the board. And of course we stopped playing right before playing the showdown...

Anyway...form legs! And Wraithlord torsos.



Thanks for looking!

Looking good youwashock! The PnP legs are really cool. Good choice of filament for the yellow. It looks highlighted!

The eldar tanks look great, love the canopies.

Thanks, gobert! Thanks, Olthannon!



First Wraithlord done, excepting the base, and torsos on the Wraithknights plus gems painted.

Plenty on the go. Thanks for looking!

Those gems look fantastic!

Wow, your jewel effect is really good.

Those gems are fantastic, and very effective on a very simple scheme. It really draws the attention effectively to the gems!

Thank you!

The gloss coat and blurry photo are doing some assisting there, but they do pop in real life.



More assembly. Getting there.

Thanks for looking!

And that's everything printed assembled. First Wraithguard body currently printing.

First two Wraithguard done except for bases.



And the completed portion of the PnP Eldar. Not shown are the two WG and the 3rd WL who is waiting for me to pick up more Armageddon Dust.



Thanks for looking!

Those gems really do sell the minis really well! BTW, what size nozzle are you using? I’ve really struggled with getting minis to print and am planning to try a 0.25mm on my Ender 3 V3 SE to see if that helps

Thanks, gobert!

I have an E3V3SE, too. I am using the 0.4 nozzle at a .12 layer height. Works OK, but I wouldn't trust any Ender I have seen with real miniature work. Big stuff, yeah, but no infantry sized minis. I have heard Bambu printers can handle it, but have not tried them myself.

Snap! The 0.12 setting in the latest version of creality print seems to be doing me well. I’ll let you know if I can get any improvement with the thinner nozzles. I’m slightly regretting not spending a bit more for the bambu a1, some people are getting amazing results with pretty much stock settings. I like the idea of not needing to spend 3 days doing config prints!

Current state. Got the 3rd WL and just over half the WG in there. The rest of the WG are printed, just need to extricate the torsos from their support tombs. Printing a test for some warwalker stand-ins. More on that, soon.
Also going to do an Avatar. And there will be some authentic models in the form of Seers. Should think about painting Elric.

Thanks for looking!

Skimming over the Dakka Challenge thread, I was just wondering "Where is Elric?"

You've got a nifty wraith army going there.

Nice army filling out there youwashock.

Cheers,

CB

Thanks, JoshInJapan, Cap'n!

Elric has been started. A little. Hoping to get him done over the holiday (and maybe squeeze a pity day out of Nev).

Slow progress this week, but the Wraithguard are all done. Thank goodness. I am not made for batch painting. Or batch support removal, more accurately. But I dig how they look all together so far.



And the last few printed models are underway. An Avatar and some Zoats stand in for war walkers. The Zoats all had the same error in the file where the belly shell didn't print, leaving a sort of void. I was already planning some sculpted details, so they will get belly tanks similar to the Archivist. At least I hope so. Also shoulder guns, masks, shields and a few armor bits. Some sculpted, some printed. I originally planned to do the Avatar in fiery orange, but decided on ghostly green since the army is primarily spirit warriors. Have to see how that turns out.



Plenty to do. Thanks for looking!

Looking good, those Zoats are coming out really nicely

Nice progress. We already have a day extension for the comp, if you need Monday as well we can maybe work something out.

Shoop da whoop. Thanks, Nev!

Thanks, gobert!

Put in a lite time on Elric. May get him done, especially with the extension.



And some Zoat belly work.



Plenty going on. Keeping at it. Thanks for looking!

I like that you're going with the pinkish skin tone of real-life albinism instead of the Moorcockian "bleached bone."

So the entire Eldar force is 3D prints?

CB

Elric and the Zoats are developing nicely. Have you decided on a skin tone for them yet?

Thank you, all!

JoshInJapan, the end result wound up being sort of a mix between the two. Still favoring the pink side, I hope.

Yes, Cap'n. The whole army (barring a couple characters I have planned) is 3D printed in color with as little painting as possible.

Aside from a wash to tone it down, you're looking at it, gobert. The details will still be painted (or printed in another color) but for the most part, that's it.

Finished Elric. Fairly satisfied.







An ancient character, an ancient model, an ancient basing style. Fun stuff. Always nice to revisit the early days of the hobby.



Avatar all assembled. Zoat tank in progress. Plenty more on the go. Better decide on model(s) for December's open round.

Thanks for looking!

I'm really looking forward to seeing your Zoat Tanks all done and painted.

Elric looks great. I like the different whites for the hair and skin-- not a lot of pink left, but they are visibly different so nothing blends into anything else.

I imagine that Stormbringer was a challenge to paint-- you have to keep it black, but still bring out the lines. The flask of purple by the crossguard is a nice little addition.

+1 for the Goblin Green base.

Elric looks good, I like his magic sword.

Thank you, thank you!



Looking to get some living Eldar into the wraith army. Official GW and everything. I hope to get Shadowguide in as an Illic-alike or something similar, and an assassin/seer based on Yvraine's frame. A Farseer needs to happen, but that's looking like a complicated conversion of Eldrad and may be too much for the month. And a Lhamaean, just because. Have to see.

Thanks for looking!

Oooo, I want all those models...
A while back, I saw a simple, but really nice conversion of that Magus with a few Adeptus Mechanicus bits.
I've been wanting to do one ever since, but I generally don't buy character models much any more.
