Hi everyone!

This is my first post on Dakka, though I have been a frequent reader for many years.

I have been playing Eldar for 10+ years and have put countless hours into my saim-hann dragon themed army, however at some point you just get sick of painting red. As a result I decided to build a seperate Eldar force that goes against the grain of the serpent spam of this new codex, and needed something I could paint quickly because I have much less time to commit to this hobby now.

I have been working on this Ulthwe Eldar army over the past 8 months and thought I would share it with everyone. I hardly get a chance to paint anymore, but am luckily an extremely fast painter and spend 20-30 minutes per model. Despite suffering through assembly lines of models to get this finished....I am fairly happy with how everything turned out and am glad that I now have 2 distinct Eldar forces: foot (ulthwe) & mech (saim-han). I have a feeling people will bash me for my funky bases, but I think they look cool and add colour to an otherwise dull paint scheme (just need to make some terrain to match now).

What I managed to "finish" was:
3 farseers
40 guardians
20 dire avengers
23 warp spiders
3 war walkers
2 wraithlords
1 wraithknight
3 hornets
10 wraithguard (wraithcannons)
10 wraithguard (d-scyth)
10 wraithblades (axe+shield)
10 wraithblades (swords)

Until I get around to taking better photos with terrain, this is what I have to show for now. I am sorry the images are not directly shown in this post... there are so many I figured this may be easier. Please follow the link below.

Thanks!

They look pretty awesome. Very smooth paints and a unique take on the Ulthwe color scheme. I'm not sure how I feel about the basing though. The purple seems a little too out there for my tastes.

Could you please just post the pics directly in the thread. Even just one will do. If you refer to the Showcase Rules it's actually a ground rule for this forum. Additionally, you are likely to get many more replies. Most people (including me) don't even bother to click your link.

Thanks mate.

PS Welcome to dakkadakka

Unusual scheme, very vibrant!

The rules of the Showcase forum require the images to be displayed here.

We would be very pleased to see your models displayed from the DakkaDakka gallery.

If you just want to give a link, please make a thread in the general P&M Discussion.
