Looking good. Plastic power sword for the glaive tip?

Great stuff as per CB! Really like how you do your bases.

Another cool couple of sets of Avengers, I think you should get the whole lot out for a narrative game. The last stand of a Shrine perhaps, that could be quite cool?

Too bad about the move from troops to elites, hope you can field some of them, because they look amazing!

They look great, and Boo! about the move to Elites. What on earth was behind that (apart from perhaps a cynical move to sell other things) is beyond me

Thanks for sharing

Thank you Dysartes, Olthannon, gobert, Viterbi, and IGtR=

Yes youwashock good catch. You are correct, as the broken bits I received had no hand, or glaive blade...so a sword should suffice.

It has been a few months without any old Eldar. Well, I have one model that needed to be painted...and this month's Unofficial Painting competition is 'A Helping Hand'. Since I did not have any Medics or Apothecaries to paint, I figured a 'helping hand' could be that extra little bit of damage to destroy a multi wound enemy...which the Vyper excels at.

Looking forward to see what you can do with that Viper!

Lovely bit of Eldar action on the horizon, looking forward to it CB!

I have one of these in a sorry state awaiting a refurbishment. Maybe your sure-to-be-excellent job will spur me on to get on with the job. Now that would be a helping hand.

Thank you muette and Olthannon.

Great thought there theCrowe.

WIP.

Because you cannot seal the model with the clear canopy attached, otherwise you get clouding. So that is why the model is still in separate parts.






Anyone notice the other change to the model from the original?

It’s the ammo clip instead of the big belt-feed on that shrieker cannon.

Looking great so far. Lots of progress early on this month.

Great job Captain, the camo pattern is really cool

I’d love to see a group shot of all your jet bikes. Guardians, Farseer, shining spears, warlock and viper. That’d be a nice looking force,

Absolutely excellent work CB! Love the Alaitoc scheme and you have represented it really well. Reminds me I have to pick up a Vyper before they get no doubt get replaced.

Nice work Cap! The camo looks really cool. I second theCrowe in requesting the provision of group photographs!

Great job on the Vyper, I still think it holds up as a great sculpt. I bought one on release and was amazed by what a futuristic kit it was. And that Camo slaps

That is some fantastic camo. Well done!

Thanks theCrowe, I will see what I can do when I do an army shot.

Thank you Gwyn.

I have some conversions for an alternate turret and forward mount weapons for a Wave Serpent and several weapons for the Platforms/War Walkers.



If anyone has some spare Falcon turrets, let me know.

CB

Finished up these options for War Walkers, Vyper, and Wave Serpent. There are two conversions in the lot, can you spot them?




Much more impressive when mounted on the platform.

Nice stuff CB. Seeing that war walker gives me terrible flashbacks! I bloody hated putting that old sod together

Some serious firepower Captain! Your Eldar must have all of the toys now

Olthannon wrote:Nice stuff CB. Seeing that war walker gives me terrible flashbacks! I bloody hated putting that old sod together

Thanks Olthannon,

Yes, the very first one I built long before these two, showed me the value of blue/white poster tac.

gobert wrote:Some serious firepower Captain! Your Eldar must have all of the toys now

Thank you gobert, working on getting there...speaking of WYSIWYG, next up is the conversion of an old Dark Reaper Exarch.

Converted to make him useful...that bolo thing made no sense game wise.


When finished he will be my entry for the Unofficial Monthly Painting Competition (which is 'Space Marines')...

That's an interesting take on the model-- having him grip the Reaper Launcher rather than having slung under his forearm. I agree, though, that the Flail of Skulls doesn't really fit the model or the unit he is supposed to lead.

But back in 2nd edition, it was awesome. Great model, Cap'n! Can't wait to see how he turns out.

Thank you for the encouragement JoshInJapan and youwashock.

Finished my converted oop metal Dark Reaper Exarch.

Edit: reduced the size.

Looking sweet, Cap'n!

Im all dewy eyed with rapt nostalgia, thanks for these! the viper is glorious

I love the classic colors on this guy, and the black-and-white tabard thing as well.

Great work cap.

I always did wondered how the promotion ceremony went for Reaper Exarchs.
“Behold the Exarch! Whose deadly accuracy at range with missiles has been proven upon the field of battle on countless worlds across the galaxy. But you won’t be needing that anymore.” “Behold the Skull-Net of frustration.”

My own Eldar entry is coming together slowly but should done in time.
