**Captain Brown**

Very nice army shot of the Wandering Sons there Elbows. A unified colour scheme for the troops and tanks (with exceptions for cultists and demons).

Cheers,

CB

**Elbows**

A new Dark Apostle for the Wandering Sons to replace the previous one (who is, oddly, not in a Death Guard homage paint scheme, and thus will be demoted to something else)

**Tyranid Horde**

Cool model and a great paintjob, really like the weathering on him. How did you do it?

**Captain Brown**

Very nice Elbows.

Cheers,

CB

**Elbows**

I don't actually do any weathering other than some sponge-chipping with a dark brown, and then a Strong Tone Army Painter dip. Gives a good grunge factor on the Chaos.

**Ilgoth**

Looks clean and simple, well done. What you doing next?

**Elbows**

Up next is a pair of Hornets, some more Wraithguard...and a few more Eldar goodies I can't take pics of just yet.

These purple and white models never photograph well (I need a coloured background or something).

**Bellerophon**

I think the photographs look great, but then again in my experience it's a lot easier to be critical of your own stuff. It's a very cool colour scheme you've got going there, I feel purple is rather underutilised in a lot of 40k painting, don't see too much of it out there. The Hornets are a really cool model too. Good job!

**CaptainWaffle**

Those hornets look great, and the colors work well. I'm actually quite envious of your hornets. They're a sleek model that fits the Eldar aesthetic and playstyle, and you brought them out well in purple.

**Elbows**

Thanks, I dig the Hornets, at least more than the Vypers they're replacing. I clipped and left off the winglets...as I don't like them that much. I'll try to get some picture in game where they probably look better.

Some hobby-desk pictures which came out much better:

Spoiler:

**Nevelon**

Nice, sleek, and clean. Good job!

**Captain Brown**

Very nice Eldar there Elbows.

Cheers,

CB

**Elbows**

Captain, if you ever find yourself down in the US around South Carolina, let me know and we'll have a huge old school Eldar game vs. all-comers.

**Elbows**

I'm racing to the end of the year...

Urghouls

Spindle Drones

Chaos Beastmen

Tractor A

Tractor B

Rogue Trader

Two more Falcons

**Tyranid Horde**

Some great looking Blackstone Fortress models there Elbows, the red eyes on the spindle drones give me a 2001 vibe from them.

Lovely pair of Falcons too, I like the switch of colours you've done on these in comparison to your hornets, excellent work!

**ph34r**

Some great stuff here overall.

I really like your leviathan dreadnought head choice, reminds me of the big round lenses of a plague doctor mask or something.

I also like the vertical face markings on your helmet-less terminator.

**Elbows**

Thanks, the helmet-less Terminator is Quthon Vale, my Chaos Lord - he takes either his Terminator armour, or his jump pack/power armour depending on the game - same dude. That's also why he awkwardly has a stormbolter slapped on the outside of a fist (since his jump pack model is left handed!)

**Fifty**

I love the schemes on the Eldar vehicles. Very bold.

**Captain Brown**

Wow Elbows, that is quite the push for the end of the year.

Cheers,

CB

**Elbows**

My buddy just sent me a Christmas present too...so now I'm debating if I try for that as well...hmmm...

Goal: 100 minis this year (a low number compared to previous years)

Current: 96 minis

**Elbows**

Failed my goal last year by two minis...only 98 finished. This year is off to an equally slow start.

The Imperial Navigator

Two Dark Eldar Khymarae I'll be using as Chaos Spawns (personal pets of Malavyn Saal, Chief Apothecary of the Wandering Sons)

**Boss Salvage**

I love the Khymarae sculpts, and they do in fact look great in green

Props on shoehorning them into your crew.

Navigator looks very nice as well, appreciate the subdued pallet.

**Captain Brown**

Elbows,

Well a good start in the painting level. You have to think of that. Quality of quantity sometimes.

Cheers,

CB

**Elbows**

More desperate progress. Not super happy with them, but some Chaos Veterans and an Imperial Missionary (for story purposes and a future project)

**Elbows**

A Chaos Lord for directing artillery and siege weapons, Tropios Juut.

**Captain Brown**

Really like the Missionary Elbows.

Cheers,

CB

**Elbows**

Yeah, he's a great model. Didn't turn out super well paint-wise, but "good enough" which is fine with me. He really embodies how you'd envision someone in that role in the 40K universe.

**Elbows**

Some more progress...

Cultists (Blackstone Fortress Traitor Guard)

Chaos Sorcerer in Terminator armour (old school Inquisitor metal)

And unrelated...some Shadespire Skeletons (for use with normal dungeon crawl stuff - lovely minis)

**CREEEEEEEEED**

Nice minis, especially the old inquisitor, I have one and it doesn't look that good in metal but you've made it work well.

**Captain Brown**

Nice work Elbows, thank you for sharing.

Cheers,

CB
