Very nice Saim Hann. Great to see a themed Eldar army coming together.

No earth shattering, thought provoking quote. I'm just someone who was introduced to 40K in the late 80's and it's become a lifelong hobby.

Holster and ammo pack are in way of grenades hanging down, but maybe they are floating in breeze of sheer speed of the Saim Hann.

These 2 squads feature alot of females guardian riders.

May have Falcon Sunday night.

What about using Wood or High Elf torsos and arms for the Warlocks, instead of Dire Avengers? More stuff to buy, but might look good. A guy at my store has some and they look alright. The hooded heads also help it look Warlock-y.

The wood elf torso/arms are too weedy for the guardian legs and don't look right at all. I tried them with my own exodite conversions and scrapped them. The heads wouldn't look bad though...

Old Man, if your GS skills are up to the task, try adding riding skirts to the legs of the warlocks (flapping in the wind...). Also, you could try adding a "ghosthelm" effect by wrapping a bit of GS around the base of your helmets and adding dots/vines of GS for detail. Refer to the metal warlock pic posted earlier to see what I'm talking about. These little details will help to distinguish the warlocks from your guardians and indicate that the are NOT Dire Avengers. WYSIWYG indeed...

@ Gavin Thorne

You talking about the added mass behind neck?

I'm locked into my Avenger bits for Warlocks. What I want them to look like. They will be painted in a non traditional Dire Avenger scheme plus be mounted on bikes.

I'm using DA Exarchs front torsos for an effect of rune armor.

I'm over $1000 into this debacle. Spending more to do something different at this point seems silly.

My buddy is building almost the same army, but for seer council he is trying to use High Elf Helms and torsos and some robed legs. Haven't seen the conversion, but it will be hard to fit robe with little room on bike.

My thought is robe on bike isn't practical. Warlocks would be parachuted off that pig or caught hanging themselves.

No worries! I understand completely about the investment and dedication for a specific look for your army. I have no doubt that the DA'locks will look great.

My exodite dino-riders were kitted from guardians and wood elf rider legs. I used a belt of GS to cover the gap where the torso meets the waist and it works well and is easy even for a beginner (which, in my opinion, I am). I also used the grenade and ammo packs to help cover the seam.

Sharp paint jobs by the way, great Samm-Haine colors and heraldry.

I bought 45 dollars worth of guardian weapon platforms and are using them as a sort of flying platform for my bike council. 100% GW products and no model in production to date, all good

On another note, these look fantastic. I'm very envious of your red that you've managed to pull over on a black base coat.

Liberal use of red ink.

On the platform 'locks.... I understand the thought behind idea. We have a jetbike model. We can piece together a resemblance of warlocks for bikes. I could see myself doing maybe 5 of these for Apoc games.

Come across a Falcon. Used this model as my test "guinea pig". I think it turned out well. Next up 3 Fire Prisms.

My friend, Dakkas's DAaddict, and I are both building Saim Hann armies. This will be a great force for Apocalypse. We each are doing 24 bikes, with 6 cannons, 6-9 vypers, 3 Fire Prisms, 10 elf Seer Councils (me 2 him 1), 2 Farssers in bikes, 2 Autarch on bikes, and enough Warlocks for bike squads (like 4).

Fun times, ahead.

Great work with the crystal. The bits of black throughout the crystal really adds some depth and sense that it is powering up and preparing to fire.

Again, great work with a themed Eldar army.

The crystal should be a more contrasting colour to make it stand out - red on red gives it a muted look. Who says fire has to be red, this is Eldar technology we're talking about It looks good but it just has no contrast.
