Thanks for all the praise! It keeps me coming back to post more stuff! I finally hit a lot of these exodites up with base spray a few days ago. Went with GW's Zandri Dust spray. They turned out great. Hope to get some photos up soon.
In the meantime, I've been modelling some more stuff. Up next is an Autarch on a Skyrunner. In the game, he's on the same jetbike as all the other Eldar jetbikes. However, I wanted this Autarch to stand out a bit from the other dragon knights so, rather than just mount him on another cold one, he will instead be on a bit bigger dragon. He will be a bit different while still feeling at home running around next to the other Dragon Knights.
Found this thing for relatively cheap on ebay. It's a third party brand, can't remember the name. Essentially made for Dark Elves in warhammer though.

Definitely works as both different but similar enough to not look out of place. The forelimbs almost look mechanical. Interesting model.

Yeah, it's an odd model for sure. Hoepfully the armor plating on him blends in with the smooth Eldar lines and contours. We'll see. In the meantime, made a bit of progress on him. I cut up some of the Eldar Heavy weapons to build up the structure of the jetbike.

And then connected the bits with green stuff. I also used the jetbike wings/fins to make it more recognizable.
Also finished up with the torso. I really like the WHFB High Elves for their intricate, regal armor. Perfect for this Autarch HQ. Still undecided for how to proceed with the right arm (as what weapon to use in game)... maybe magnetize him? The front of the bike is a counts as Reaper Launcher. Thoughts? Still a lot of work left.

Thanks, guys. The gamezone dragon is a really neat model. Good call on finding itl, Savage.

It took FOREVER to finally get something going on him. After I got the banner, the rest of the riders fell in place (see below).

Finally got the exarchs figured out. The Star Lances needed to be different looking from the regular jetbike lances, but also make these guys unique from the normal riders too. After the banner worked well for the Autarch (see above), I went with more banners for these guys. After all, they are the individual leaders for their units.

Thanks man. I think they are ready for some paint!
Also got some work done on the war walkers. I've decided to mount the weapons on the top, though I need to do some green stuff gap filling before then. Pictures to come soon! But in the meantime, figured it'd be good to show the unit update. Got the crew's heads and arms on too.

Haha, yes they really are. They turned out a little bit bigger than I was anticipating. But, hopefully they are still easy to recognize as War Walkers in game.
Also: I finally got some of these models base sprayed! I think they are looking pretty good. Started painting up the Kabalite Warriors and am really digging the paint scheme so far. I even rushed ahead and did a full test model complete with flocking the base. I'm really excited for the bases on this army! Lots of different types of grass and some flowers too. The serene, meadow look is a breath of fresh air compared to the bases in my past armies (sooooo grimdark).
Anyway, let me know what you think!

Forums are a poor medium to express how awesome those warwalkers are.
Painting is nice and crisp, too. Really does the models justice, also just noticed the saurus head peeking over the shoulder of the wraithguard. Badass,

I appreciate it! My painting is probably the weakest part of the hobby. Hopefully I can do these smooth surface, bright Eldar colors justice.

Rare, but wonderful. I just hope all the bright colors will pop on the table.

Well, with some of the builds wrapping up (being ready for paint), I went back and did some work on the Wave Serpents. Specifically, I cut up the hull of the second serpent and make the basic carapace armor for the dino. The second one went much more quickly! I also started to gap fill a bit with some aluminium foil. Once the superglue sets, I'll hit it with green stuff to smooth it out and make it look nice. The first stage is all about eliminating the gaps and holes though.

Also made some progress on the side gunners. The thought is that each serpent will have a rider/driver mounted on top with two gunners on the sides. All three will essentially be riding in jump seats attached to the large armored section.
The gunners are made mostly from the Eldar Heavy Weapon platform with a few cuts and modifications. The brightlances were cut down to fit better in the gunner rigs. They are also magnetized for if (WHEN) I want other loadouts.

That's a fantastic idea. I've been planning on using the Bastilidon dino for one of the large jetbikes (vyper, venom, or starweaver). Never even considered using the large jewel but, you're right, it fits perfectly for a fire prism.

For a fire Prism you could use some bits of those kits:
https://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Empire-Luminark-of-Hysh
https://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Empire-Celestial-Hurricanum
Use the top thingy (whatever that is) but with a big gem in the middle of the gimbal or behind the lenses (and eldar-ify the scaffolding around it).
