i'm making an epic eldar pirate army based around the following system:

crew men - storm guardians

fire crews - dire avengers

boarders - banshees

cutting crews - fire dragons

raiders - swooping hawks

flankers - war walkers

all in wave serpents cept the cutters in a falcon

fast, hard hitting and fluffy. i basically imagine that the pirates have a fleet of small ships and a flag ship from which they raid so nothing too heavy or tech. fast and raidy are what i'm looking at.

lets start with the captain

I like this concept quite a bit - looking forward to seeing more. Nice job with the first fig.

I modelled a small army of corsairs by combining the dark elf, dire avengers and harlequins, looks like you're doing something fairly similar (it works brilliantly)

Awesome captain!

Sounds like a great project although i'm a little confused by the 'epic' - from the captain model I'm guessing it's 40K rather than epic?

yup - corsair + guardian sprues = win. mathmatically proven. giving everyone a hand crosbow for a shurican pistol. sweet!

lol yup 40k. being hyperbolic again

**Alpharius**

I think you'll find a lot of help in the Dark Elf range of figures...

And that IS a fantastic Captain conversion!

no more pics for a bit - only gone and left my battery charger for my camera 72 miles away at a friends house. major fail! especially as i'm going to start painting this week in a binge. expect a fat multi thread update when i can take pics again. will prob put some fluff up in the mean time.

**Magos Explorator**

Nice idea, and your captain conversion works well.

**mikeyboyj**

**rockabill-gr**
