With a masters style event at the end of October this year, I have decided to start a new force... And I hope this keeps me motivated to finish it on time!!!

Here is the start of the silliness...



Wish me luck!

Wow! Good luck! You've set yourself a bit of a challenge, but it's achievable if you don't paint all of the gems on the Wraithknights.

Are you going to be airbrushing them?

Here is the current state of play...

And come close ups of the converted legs.







And the beginning of the female spirit seer conversion

curious are you going to expand this after the competition or just leave it as is?

I have at present some 20,000 points of painted eldar including 3 titans - and yet probably have 10,000 more unpainted. At this stage, I will bring up my Iyanden to a single full force org chart much like my Ulthwe and Siam hann

And the test model... Spray paint and brush only

Female far/spirit seer done

Ready for paint... Wraiths on sticks!

Like the work on the female seer - could do with a clearer (or better lit) picture of the test figure, though.

Yeah, I rushed it on my ipad (like all the pics)

I will get some better ones as more is painted

You can do it!!!

She looks pissed! The farseer forgot to mow the lawn again...

Nice work though. Im interested in this as I will soon be starting Iyanden(modified colors).

Cheers and good luck mate!

Update time... Some mock ups of my wraith serpents...

Great stuff and love the seers. Definitely doesn't look rushed despite the upcoming deadline.

I'm in a similar situation with an eldar force for a GT 7 weeks from today. It's always cool to see how other people approach the same task and learn some new shortcuts or painting tricks.

Good luck and ill be following.

Oh and consider skipping the stones on the wraithknights. Leave them until last and don't paint them until you've finished everything else. If you decide to paint the gems the same as your seers, it'll drive you mad.

Speaking of wraith knights, finished 2 and working on the 3rd but the forum keeps deleting the image for poor quality despite it being shot on the same settings with the same device...

Thought I would at least wrap this up... The following is the finished force I painted in the 6 weeks I had... I ended up dropping one serpent of Wguard for the rangers, bikes and a crimson hunter...

HEY! Your army is beautiful! I am currently working on an Iyanden army myself. I have been trying really hard to find the head you used on your Iyanna spiritseer! I actually first saw it used by Games Workshop, especially in the new Fracture of Biel tan codex. Anyways, after looking everywhere you are the only one I have seen who managed to find/have this special head! Can you please tell me where it comes from? I will be forever grateful.
Cheers!
