Ok, so progress is slow (been having lack of hobby motivation) but got some painting done over the last few weeks since the last update. Most of the following painted stuff has been this way for the last 2 weeks or so but I have a modeling project underway at the moment to get my hobby motivation flowing again. I've put the main CW colour on 2 Fire prisims, 2 Falcons, 2 vypers and 2 wraithlords. Just going to post some of it for now.
Started the wraithbone colour on this one and some of the prisim weapons. Need to get some decent brushed to complte this though as the current ones I have are frayed and hitting the finished CW colour. Which is a pain in my rear end.
Current project is a 2nd single rider vyper jetbike this time for Maugan Ra. Its more of a guilty pleasure than anything but intend to run it as a standard vyper in game unless the game allows house rules and units.
Anyways, some general shots of the first stages.

I decided not to buy a finecast Ra and went to work on a old metal one, as far as chopping up metal models this size goes it was pretty easy and went exactly to plan. Which was nice. However I did get a metal blob ping off when clipping and hit right in the damn eye ball but its doesn't hurt now and cann see just fine, so yay.
The kept bits, I plan to greenstuff the torso and arm details on top of eldar body parts.

Few shots of an idea of what the finished model will look like.
and an few to give an idea of how he'll sit.

I plan to have him holding on with his right hand and either wielding something in his left up in the air/out to the side, or just a closed fist. Having his shurk cannon on board might a bit cumbersome so something close to the cc weapon of something haven't been able to think of anything just yet(not really been at the forefront of thought till now).
Suggestions?
c&c welcome.

Thanks both,
That colour would look great on the gem stones, but will be purple like on the other models. Mostly to tie in all units and to keep the over all themed appearance dark.
The Jetbike is coming along tp a point but kinda stuck right now as want to model the rider fully before fixing on the front half, and I need bits from a farseer to do this. Have greenstuffed ribs on Ra's model for now and soon to add a spine up his back. What I've decided to do is to make the Ra model a IC/Autarch type model then do a foot based version that could be counted as prince yriel when coming to using his stats.
CC weapon wise I was thinking of a DE incubi style blade(the one from the talos), but a Quandao weapon like the WL one.
I'll see what pics I can post tonight, but the lack of the farseer bits is starting to stall the progress. :(

Thanks rohansoldier,
Si a little update on the jetbike wip. Some greenstuffing (be it messy, nothing that a good paint job wont hide). Wanted to beef out the arms as they would be to thin otherwise, also to make it look like hes a bit more powerful and can use heavy weaponry if needed.

Wanted to add some extra bulk and dakka to his ride to slapped on a twin linked shur-cann. At the rear of the guns I'm focusing on a bone affect so spine and ribs from the tomb kings zombie kits are being used, just waiting on a mail order to get more bones. While not as sleek looking as Eldar bikes I think it works.
http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a559/EberiousEldar/DSC08965_zps23bbd060.jpg
A quick mock up of what this thing will look like. The standard Vyper wings will be removed. Simply stuck the other ones on there while modeling so I can see how it will look as it progresses. Want to do the wing swap last as with the last one of these Ibuilt the wings kept getting in the way and breaking off.

Thanks Urien_Rakarth, the rainbow is coming soon. Was my birthday last weekend so splashed out the cash on some aspect warriors..metal ones at that   . Did always mean to buy aspect warriors(have a box full of 2nd ed models, but wanted an upgrade in sculpt) when they were metal but was in the midst of my Black templar army revival. So missed out on them, and now all finecast. I hate finecast, bought the farseer and warlock box about 2 weeks ago and parts missing and broken(thick parts broken not the thin bits somehow?) anyways went right back down to the GW 5 min walk away and returned said box, I now have a farseer and 6 warlocks. I see a jetbike seer council on the horizon.
However a number of ebay listings came up and managed to get metal figures(new and out box but untouched). For me this was a missed chance giving me a 2nd go, so I jumped on them. I wasn't to worried what worked well or not in game as I'm a collector and gamer.
Managed to scoop
pack of fire dragons
pack of Dark reapers
2 packs of scorpions
pack of Banshees ( I think it was more of a impulse caught in the moment bid) , might get rebuffed in the new dex,..maybe.
2 packs of rangers
farseer
and a vyper.
The aspect warriors will be painted as per aspect colours but slightly darker than the normal GW look. Will still have a touch of Altansar in some shape, but will remain colourful.
A some what extended response I know.
Anyways, update time. The High Autarch's Vyper jetbike is almost done. Only a few little htings to do like greenstuff tidy up, filling in some gaps and getting the Quandao style or executioner weapon arm modeled. So a few things but wanted to share for anyone following this project.
size comparason to vyper
http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a559/EberiousEldar/DSC08991_zpse3b89f19.jpg
Weapon load:
Twin linked shuriken cannon
Twin linked reaper launcher
Changeable main weapon as per Vyper options.
Executioner, stats as per prince Yriel's spear. In fact the IC riding this machine follows Yriel's stats and abilities. There will be a foot version of him as well to follow, just when I can find another dark eldar talos blade.

Thanks Urien_Rakarth,
Managed to get some more time to myself today and hopefully tomorrow. So just posting little bits of progress. Managed to prime and base coat red 4 Vypers, top section of a falcon hull(and some modeling, resin bending), 3 war walkers and the vyper jetbike above. Not bad not bad considering somethings wrong with the nozzle of the air brush and took for ever to spray. Cant find any clogs all seems to be clean, so I'm a little confused!!
Base for my next WraithLord, in two minds to greenstuff some ragged clothes on the skeleton or just leave as is.
Going with a theme for this Wraithlord, so had to give a weapon to match.
And a sneek peak at whats coming.
Not modelling directly, but got around to decorating some cookies with my oldest child. They were meant for Easter, but meh! cookies are cookies.

Thanks both,
Anyways, since I'm easily distracted by new projects and shiny new toys. Popped the WK out and started work. Whipped(pun intended  ) up this slaanesh Dreadnought wreck last night.
I tend to include models from different races that I play against, if anyone was wondering why I have a mish-mash of different races throughout my army.
BTW, does anyone else think that the under side of the feet looks like giant irons.

Where are the wings from for your jetbike conversions? Obviously they're Eldar, but I can't figure out which kit they're originally from!

Never used the hedges or anything like it before on my bases. Want to try and move a little away from my usual gray scorched ground and include some of what you would find in more "green" areas of a Imperial city.
The 2 tubes will be pillars with some sort of imperial-ish statue on top. I might cut the front pillar down to be badly damaged, so not to take up so much of the front view/focus. Hoping to find a COD street light to put on the back hedge around the middle. Search of the house is coming up short for far.
Would like some c&c on that, and if anyone has used them(the hedge type of stuff) with good outcomes.

Well, well, well. It's been a while since I've seen this thread. The Scorpion Wraithlord came out great. The dreads look fantastic. I'm liking the new WL as well. I love how dynamic you're posing them, but I think the bases are really what makes them. Looking forward to seeing the Wraithknight all finished up.

@Darth Bob, couldn't agree more with the base comment.
As many, I don't really like the top fins on this model, didn't want to use them here(maybe on something else). To bumpy, flat and not very Eldar elegant if you get me. So I took to the plasticard, a few idea sketches later and ended up with what you see. To get the right thickness I had to double up the sheets, so needed 4 of the same shape. Glued together and trimmed, scraped and filed into the finished parts. Turned out pretty good giving this is the first time making a part of this shape and size for Eldar. Yet to add gemstones and the like.
The one thing I only thought about once I had the kit home was the complete lack of ribbons, banners etc etc, like with the wraithlord and now wraith guard kits you get some. Anyone else thought that? I can get and have some some, but none specifically for the WK. Seems wierd to me, but whatever. not a huge issue.
C&C welcome.

Outstanding conversion work. In my 24 years in the hobby, I've never seen anyone use Maugan Ra as the basis for a jetbike/vyper rider. Very, very cool looking.
My favorites, however, are your Wraithlord conversions. Those are simply fantastic. The pose is awesome, but the 'hair' on the Scorpion WL really completes the model.
Fantastic blog. Definitely will be checking back.

The new fins for the wraithknight definitely look better than the stock model. Now if only you could enlarge the head somehow, then it would be perfect.

Thanks very much for the kind comments guys.
Managed to break the fins off the other day, thought I'd get away with not pinning them ...I didn't. Took the time to do it right this time, also done molds of some of the gems off the GW stock fins and large gem off the WK sword. Back on now and pinned in place and looking good. At work just now so will post pics later.
The head while awkward looking online, I find is actually a good size when you have the model in front of you. I think GW done it just right.
Done most of the magnet work last night. Currently deciding to magnetise the torso section to make it break down into smaller parts for travel, or just glue it in place. Probably end up glueing in place. Should have most of it done by tonight, so probably pics later.

Ok, so managed to get some actual painting done on some older models. Trying to get some focus on getting half painted models 100% finished. In an attempt to do this I managed to get a load on the main red/black colour scheme done over the last 2 weeks. I did it one day but updates as you can see are in frequent at times.
Anyways, first model recently coming to completion is the Warp Hunter.
Just a few areas to wash and highlight, the pilot and canopy to paint, also the base and I'll have actually finished it.
