Jealous that Horus is Warmaster






I'm trying to make all my Eldar look dynamic/graceful/agile with a repeating Hive fleet kracken base design.
just finished converting two today
The FW Avatar, I'm not sure if I'll attach the main of hair yet.
and a Warlock on a jet bike. I think the Eldar jetbike is a very old and tired design and the DE jetbikes look so much better and give a sense of speed and moment lacking in the Eldar bike.
So this is a two pronged experiment, The first to get a warlock on a bike with The Wraithforge Stone so he can jet about healing my wraithknights/Lords and the second to see if the model works for an Eldar jetbike.

what do you guys think?

Because nothing in the galaxy is black and white, Mankind views the Space Marines as a last resort. The last line. When all else fails. They take up the burden. The noble defenders of Mankind. The last hope.

Its a kit bash of the Dark Eldar Reaverjetbikes, and a standard Eldar one. With Guardian Defender bits for the body from what I can see.

I'm just starting to collect Eldar (well, I will when I buy my first models) but was considering using the DE jet bikes as I think they look badass. I like the way you've done yours though and will be interested to see what more you produce

Avatars always look awesome and yours looks just that. Been looking for some Eldar inspiration, so thanks!

Also, the bases look great!

Before all else, be armed

thanks all
yup the jetbike is a DE jetbike with Eldar shuriken, wings and front pointy bit. the rider is a DE with guardian head.
Ive done a shuriken cannon one too, just need a rider.

OK two more units done, not really conversions

the farseer looks a bit shabby in the close-up

I made a mistake with the Fire prism, I purity sealed it all after I painted it not realising that it would steam up the cockpit window so the pilot window is buggered.

just a simple conversion this time. In my opinion both the Eldar jetbike and vyper are tired and very old ( around 18 years I think) and the Dark Eldar small flyers are better sculpts, more Eldar like and just plain sexier.

so I've used the DE Venom for a Vyper
I've popped a guardian head on the pilot, swapped the end of the old D-cannon pretending to be a star cannon with a star cannon from the Wrathknight box and used the back on the Vyper ( the bit the gun platform clips into) instead of the grate/infantry platform.
Ive tried to get a green glow reflecting off of control panels with mixed results, speeds up painting a lot though.
Hope you like it

in-between things to paint and waiting for a super heavy to arrive I thought I'd raid my bits box and have a go at cobbling together an Exodite Tank

So here it is, my Exodite Fire Prism ready for painting.
