LOVE the Solitaire... although you've turned up the pressure on painting a model to match the build work. I've got faith in your abilities though

It looks chillingly good.

**migsula**

Did a little bit of more work on the solitaire, carved out the eye that won't be glowing and fixed some areas of the hair with GS.

I should really push with the build now, but I wan't to paaaaaint... and that happens rarely

And the Space Hulk Termies are starting to call me names for not painting them.

**Lint**

The solitaire is impressive, I love it. If you don't mind my asking, what tool(s) do you typically use when chopping on a metal fig?

**jamopower**

Wow! Love your eldar. And you continuing to paint these give me motivation to finish mine. I should actually get something done. I've spent my hobby time lately just gaming. And gaming with half finisshed army usually means big changes in the armylist...

**migsula**

Hey Jamo! What's up? Next time wee see in a tournament it's civil war, eh??

Thought for the day - I've always regretted not finishing stuff the most. Nearly happened to this army because the basing wasn''t perfect and the Dire Avengers had the wrong execution. So I have to relax standards with playing armies, IF it starts to jeopardize the whole project.

Managed to convert the Eldrad count as today - also mostly a painting piece, but a subtle arm swap and head tilt really gave him a "my farseer" look. Also scratch building some harlequin kisses and came up with a nice, "firedragon past" mix scheme for the Wraith Lord (who's supposed to be the last in line for painting, but it seems I take refuge from the rigid order of things in real life to brake every plan in the hobby life... Thank god Grey Death is as all over the place as I am and seems to be enjoying it such as much!

Looks like that, yellow eldar against other. Should get the eldar done for Turku fanatic next month currently 3 tanks and squad of avengers undercoated, and I should finsih converting autarch, farseer and jetbikes. Then I should paint the remaining squads (hawks, spiders, reapers etc.) for Apocalypse around christmas and after that it's back to the forces of chaos with some tanks for my word bearers and upgrading the daemon contigent to army sized. It'll be 10 years 40k next year for me and I'm celebrating it with 10k of painted forces

Hopefully you get these eldar done soon, I can't count the times that I've been watching these photos drawing inspiration and motivation to get my own models done. Been waiting the 'migsula treatment' for Eldar ever since we played years ago when new codex was just coming out and you talked about doing eldar next

**grey_death**

oooo...Fire Dragon wraithlord...haven't seen that yet ^_^.

And Hobby ADD is the only way to go. Keeps things from getting too stale ^_-.

**Modhail**

Lovely. I really like where the Solitaire is going!

And yeah, we should start H-ADD meetings or something. I've got it too....
(Case in point: Got my Space Hulk set, pulled out my painting kit to start on it. And grabbed some Orks instead... Go figure.)

**guardpiper**

Could we get some pictures of the vipers? I really like the sleeker appearance yours have compared to the normal models.

Sorry to disappoint, but that is purely to enable me paint the insides before gluing on the cockpit

Update time! Don't mind the first layer of GS on the inferno sword - it will receive flamey goodness when the first shape is cured.

Really want to paint the WL - but it is time to switch to Space Hulk for a while now!

**Slain'e**

As usual young man, truely inspiring work.

Just a quick thanks Migs,
I'd taken a few yr's out of the modeling scene, real life, work, children and grandchildren had taken president over a hobby
i'd been into and loved since the very first White Dwarf.
Your quality of work, outlook and sheer enthusiasm for the hobby awoke my passion again, and for this i thank you...

Sam

**Apone**

Another fantastic body of work.

I'd love to see a really in depth article on your painting style. It's got a brilliant look to it that's come out of your white primer and stunning technique.

Thanks again for sharing your inspirational models.

**SargesSquad**

Your stuff is still looking great. I see some green stuff on the harlequin next to the solitaire, but I can't see what it is.... is it a sash or a belt or something similar?

If you're doing a blog on your SH painting, any chance you'd post the thread? It's really cool seeing your stuff progress.

And that's what it's all about.

**echo8**

Looks a lot better than my Eldar!!

**Llamahead**

That Wraithlord looks awesome I love the concept of the Flaming Sword.

**willydstyle**

Can't wait to see the Solitaire painted.

**Müller**

I'm not an eldar player, nor have I really gotten into eldar fluff, so pardon my igorance but why does Solitaire have deamonette claws?

**Vermillion**

Solotaires are the only harlequins who can play the role of Slaanesh during the plays they do. As such Slaanesh and the Laughing God then have to try to claim the poor halrequins soul when the solotaire dies, which more often than not goes to Slaanesh.
With how the holosuits and masks work in battle, projecting the opponents fear I think it's a really nice conversion and fitting with the role they play in the troupe. Some really amazing conversions, even the simple things stand out very well, and love the yellow colour scheme, makes me regret redoing my eldar from an Iyanden type scheme to an ulthwe scheme simply to speed my repainting up of the army.

**smiling Assassin**

You are a machine of creativity and glorious finesse.

Take a breather?

Oh, and find another font

In Harlequin Troupes, the Solitaire bears the part of Slaanesh in performances.

**jamessearle0**

i cant wait for the solitaire to see some paint, *glee*

There's a blog about - but not much happened yet. I will paint something finished first and then with the later additions go through the process.

**Lord_Lockhart**

Why are you a god ??? On a more serious note, loving all of this and i actually like the yellow, especially on the walker

**Oshunai**

Migs, you are an inspiration to my continuing love for this hobby. The Solitaire model just looks so cool. Can't wait to see it painted.

**LunaHound**

i like the Solitaire , reminds me of this guy: Which fits a Harlequin perfectly ,
maybe like the Matrix Twins , you can paint their holo suit to phase in and out :'D

**migsula**

Wraith Lord, Eldrad and Solitaire primed and just received a wash of white paint.

Starting with the Wraith Lord it feels at this moment

Need to make a few smaller, circa 1000pts lists to get a nice and soon to reach goal for gaming!

**Müller**

oh BTW, you live in Stockholm?
We have to play a game or three sometime

**Boss Salvage**

Good looking wraithlord, the built-up head works nicely to give him a more solid feel. Very solid pose too, as he strides over / stomps on whatever that thing on his base is (I thought demonette at first, but not so sure any more).

Will be interested to see how the solitaire comes together with paint. Currently the plastic 'nette parts really jump out at me, especially the extra claw arms ...

- Salvage

The head is actually atleast a 3rd smaller in volume than the real thing! That's what gives the WL a nice solid, powerful feel - no banana head - I sculpted straight on the part that goes inside the real head.

I spend a lot of time there! Would be great to play a few games at some point. Where do you play? Are there any nice gaming clubs or similar in Stockholm?

**Müller**

There is one, but it's a membership thing.

My firend and I are just getting started on a BIG underhive/cityfight board and will always be on the lookout for moe players

Now I don't spend as much time as I should on my minis so yours will put mine to shame, but I'll be fine
