Hello peeps,

Just a question here, don't know if I'm exactly in the right part of the forum...
So, finally building my eldar army, now just a question before choosing to by OR convert...

Which kits are plastic, and which are not?

So, I know, guardians are plastic, so are Dire avengers, and the new wraithlord, and falcons/wave serpents.
I also know, striking scorpions, harlequins, warlocks, farseer, banshees, warp spiders, they're all metal. Oh yes, rangers too.

But things like weapon platforms, support batteries, singing spears, vypers and guardian jetbikes, what about them?

Vypers and jetbikes are both plastic, support batteries are metal and shining spears have metal riders and plastic jetbikes. (the riders are hell to stick together though.) Also, all the HQ models are metal, Fire Dragons are metal, as are Dark Reapers, Swooping Hawks, Wraithguard and the Fire Prism gun attachment (the main bit is just a wave serpent). The War walker is plastic.

Hope that helped.

Warwalkers are also plastic (the old ones were metal) too.

Fire prism is plastic with metal bits.

Warp spiders, pathfinders, harlequins, farseers, autarchs, and Avatars are also metal.

Ok, thanks guys... And the little weapon platforms, the non-supportbattery ones, what about them?

The ones that come in the Guardian box are plastic. The older ones, which came separately was metal, though the plastic one (current kit) was sold separately for a while.

Right, that's great help allready!

I'll be converting those vibro-cannons then. Got me an old metal wraithlord assembled just now, might make me a blog...
