Some more pictures. The black stripe on cowling is going to be twice as wide on other 9 bikes.

What do you guys think about the Saim Hann emblem? Is it centered enough?

**Disjointed Entity**

Personally, I think it looks great

**Old Man Ultramarine**

10 Warlocks done, need alittle touch-ups to finish. Farseer coming next. Faseer will look like a Farseer.

Flags are used to show Embolden and Enhance.

Singing Spears for switchouts. I magnetized arms.

**Waaagh_Gonads**

You have done a great job on the emblems.

Did you think to break up the markings on the bikes (rather than all having the same chevron, turning it arond, double bands etc?)

**Old Man Ultramarine**

@ Waaagh_Gonads

Doing same for simplicity. Each squad has own marking. Bike squads have own symbol and striping per squad.

I'm going to have flags on bikes when they are figured out.

**Topographic Oceans**

This army is looking amazing, I look forward to the farseer!

**Old Man Ultramarine**

Farseer should be done on Thursday.

**Old Man Ultramarine**

Farseer #1 is done.

Farseer looks so much better than these pictures reveal. The blue highlighting isn't as extreme as the picture shows. It's very subtle.

**deadly chicken**

looks great. love the blue highlighting! what blue did you use. The variation in the symbol is good.

**Old Man Ultramarine**

ultramarine blue then mix of ultramarine/ice blue for hightlighting

**Topographic Oceans**

Amazing job, well done.

**1xx700007117**

take a deap breath.....I LOVE IT SO PIP(lol) MUCH!!!!!!

**Old Man Ultramarine**

Finished 3 Vypers. Next up 2nd 10 man Seer Council. Pictures of Vypers, soon.

**Old Man Ultramarine**

This Friday will have update of pictures

2nd Seer Council, Farseer, and vypers.

Regular scotch tape is good for keeping your stripes straight. Just tape where you want the stripe after priming black and paint the red normally. Then you peel it off and have the most handsome stripes ever!

Also the stripes on your tanks really bother me because the whole model is supposed to be sleek and pointing forward, but the fat horizontal stripes almost give me a headdache. Good luck with your endeavors broton.

Love the hand painted runes! My army is a similar color scheme - I'm subscribing to this thread and you can be sure I'll be referencing it when I paint my jetbikes!

**Sphe**

This will be a very intimidating force to go up against...

**Augustus**

Smoking, love it.

Imagine one day if they make more Eldar plastics what could happen!

Also, I bought Wood Elf Horsemen when I did my similar conversions, and used the bodies and legs on the jetbikes with Eldar helmets and Arms!

Then you can have riders that are actually wearing robes vs Body Armor!

* Checked out this thread from the hardboy thread the OP posted his army in.

Very nice!

**drummerholt1234**

I really like the simple yet effective conversions on the warlocks and farseer! Good work!

**JGrand**

Love the fire prism. The crystal looks amazing!

**Grunt_For_Christ**

I especially like the farseer. Are you planning on having any other special markings on there to really set it apart?

**realgenius**

The army looks great-- good to see Eldar getting some love!

Do the bikes come with 40mm bases now? All of mine are the clear 60mm bases. If you didn't put them on the bases they came with you might run into problems at tournaments.

I'll also second the earlier concern about Dire Avengers on bikes are Warlocks. They look more like Autarchs to me. If I saw your army at a tournament I'd ask how you have 20 HQs

The main problem for me is no Rune Armor or robes and the helmet is a dead give away.

**abhorsen950**

I think it looks great

Cheers

**Old Man Ultramarine**

Once again, what option do we have to make a Warlock conversion in plastic? None!

I did not want to chop up a Warlock metal figure. It would look horrible and the margin for error was very, very small.

I like my councils, everything is WYSIWYG.

Thanks for responses and compliments.

I'm extremely happy I could pilot this army to a 'Ard Boyz prelim title. Hope to continue in 2nd round.

**lvyoda**

hey.....those look great. I think the idea of dire avenger bodies for warlocks and farseers is a great idea.
I was actually considering selling all my eldar bikes because I couldn't come up with a good way to do this, but I think I am going to "borrow" this idea.

thanks,
Rick

Some updates of what I have so far...

**Old Man Ultramarine**

More pics...

**Old Man Ultramarine**

still more pics...

Note on these pictures. Alot of the highlighting is much more subtle than shown in pictures. Camera is showing everything,

More to come.

**Old Man Ultramarine**

My Eldrad from years ago.

Automatically Appended Next Post:
Fire Dragons, Rangers, Scorpions, Karandras, Farseer, Swooping Hawks, Heavy Support Weapons coming soon. I need to take pictures.

**number9dream**

That's a lot of pictures indeed, and good ones too - do you have any full army shots? I have a feeling this army will look pretty sweet in that format.
EDIT: Although I guess you are waiting until you are completely finished before taking full army shots
