Awesome work Jas, now to get that prime done in time!

Mount meningococcal or what ever that Icelandic volcano was called tried to delay them, but it looks like I passed my reserve roll in time for the second month ;D!



Also I've finished a small special weapons squad, so I'll get some pics of them up on Friday

Ooooooo, I notice a Defiler there Charlie! I feel some awesome converting is coming soon...

What forgeworld stuff did you get?...

My but that's a lot of tanks. and wtf you didn't already have the codex?

Just a few of the really adeptus looking robed figures. Should fit into the army reasonably well.

Couldn't find it - someone probably grabbed it from my house thinking it was theirs when they were over here, so I just grabbed another one.
OH and... a Canadian who speaks French and lives in New Zealand, but uses a Japanese flag for his dakka profile. CONFUSED MUCH ?

The flag on dakka is indicative of the location of your Internet Service Provider, not your actual location or language.

Ask a mod to change it for you to the correct flag, i did it.

Haha, I know.. I was just teasing a close personal friend.

With that Defiler, I'm considering making a Knight. Does anyone have any links to others people have done with WIPS, or any ideas they could help with on where to go with making one? I'm really keen to hear peoples advice

Whats a Knight? Ive seen a preheresy (or during i guess) conversion.

A knight's basically a mini-titan, usually employed by the adeptus mechanicus.

I'd say they have roughly the armour/firepower of a Land Raider, but they are larger and have void shields and close combat capability.

Even so, good luck with yours proximity, I love knights and I hope yours goes well (be sure to imperial it up a bit!). However, I'm sorry but no knights spring off the top of my head.

Although, I did just go looking and found this: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/257382.page#986967 which I think looks quite good, bar the head and square edges IMHO.

Very very nice stuff guys, reminds me of the way my group finds motivation. Painting by peer pressure!

As for your search for Knights, here is a link to my take on the subject, now in the painting stages:

It´s not done by a long shot, but getting closer every tuesday. (I have so little time for hobby stuff right now, sigh......)

I started off with a defiler as well, but went with some plasticard and GS work for parts of it. Other people have used more defiler bits with good results as well.

awesome stuff - great job guys, keep it up. I think I need to find some buddie sto keep me painting too

Really stuck for what bases I should use.

I've narrowed it down to one of the following 4 ranges:



The Iron Halo ones come in a considerable amount cheaper than the rest, but each time I look at them I'm a bit put off by the inconsistencies, one minute it's tiled flooring and cogs, then its just giant cogs, then its wood. It's just a bit all over the show and I don't know how much consistent painting could bring that back.
I've based an army on their bases in the past, and could only use 2/3 of the particular theme I chose, if I wanted it to look consistent.

The second pic look okay, room for a bit of metal and rust effect, but I'm not overly joyous about the brick.

The third pic I'm not very sold on, I think I would have to add some slate to it which is probably a fair bit of work. Not a lot of height to them either, although its bad for gaming purposes; I quite like a little bit of height in the base.

The fourth pic I think is sneaking in as my favourite at the moment? It's reasonably clean looking, a little bit of metal here and there for some rust, very consistent looking, what are peoples thoughts?

I'm pretty stuck for ideas, haha!

I'd go with the 4th - the urban rubble set?

In fact, I'm probably going to be going with them myself!

I think I like the fourth best, but definitely not the first.

I like the 2nd and the 4th personally.

I'm liking the 3rd, but I think that might be because of the paintjob

The valkyrie is AWESOME!

The Dragon Forge stuff is great quality; I like the second and third of the ranges you've linked (good stuff on the bases but not too over the top).

I made a Knight from a Defiler and a Sentinel--still need to add the finishing touches! It's not too hard (especially for someone with your skills) and looks pretty good.

2nd and 4th look good to me as well.

4th for me.

Thanks for all your help guys. Looks like the big decision I now need to make is whether I go for that 4th option, or a mix of the 2nd and 3rd.. definitely some food for thought!

Now, Jimmy has given us some updated pictures of his eldar! Unfortunately he confused "make the size of your images smaller" with "make the quality of your photos really terrible!", so instead he provided me with MASSIVE RES pics at a very low quality ! I've done with them what I can, but I'd love to get the opportunity to take some much better pictures. I love the wave serpent so much!

I would also go with the urban bases as the most consistent.

The wave serpent is a work of real beauty. Well done!

Oh lordy - Hokusai's Wave Serpent. That is incredible

looks great guy's

Hi guys, he is the Prime finished, sans Bone Swords which are on order...






As I said in the painting blog Jimmy; The Wave Serpent is FAN @#$%*& TASTIC!!!

Here is a link to the blog that Chris made, if anyone is keen to look.

Very nice, a table of five fatties, eh?

For the 7 result on the 2d6 table, I suggest 4 bananas, mixed into a milkshake with lots of hotsauce/buffalo sauce, and some syrup.

wy not add some wasabi

Don't do all eating challenges, maybe have a couple of the option be: forced to watch a really terrible movie or go on the net where nobody should go........
