Fantastic work! That it is a lovely looking collection, nothing like the feeling of completing an army and having it ready for the tabletop. Have you got any games planned or is it just for display?

I have just started on a small Crusade-era Eldar Craftworld force. I unearthed these old Falcon Grav Tanks from storage (I have quite a few of them as you got loads with the 2nd edition starter set). Was going to model them with a bit of wire so they can be 'floating' on the base, and then noticed they had added the tiny hole on the bottom for I guess this purpose! It took me 30+ years but I finally noticed!

That is one wild falcon!

Yeah i will test my new force in battle in two weeks. They will be facing the tyranid hordes!

Ah, ye olde' Gravs from Space Marine 2nd edition. Brings back memories...

Just put together a test scheme for some Great Crusade-era Eldar. These were a pretty simple scheme, one coat AP Absolution Green and Contrast Shyish purple for the weapons and other bits. The Guardians are proxy Vanguard Eloi miniatures.



These are the 'Dyun-Kel', from a Craftworld of my own imagining, set around the 30k-era they did not survive through to the 'current' 40k timeline. Perhaps we will find out why I always wanted an Eldar army back in the day, I remember they used to be absolute monsters on the tabletop (I still have nightmares about an unstoppable Windrider host!) but we will probably use the NetEpic rules, where I believe some of the points values have been adjusted and made a bit more fair.

Some pictures from the battle of Emperorgrad yesterday where I fielded my imperial guard vs tyranids. It was a sound Imperial victory even though the titan who climbed up the center caused plenty of chaos.

Man those retro eldar look great. The scale of that hierodule next to the tower is amazing. Awesome shots.

Got some work in progress shots of the solar aux.




Thinking of going for a scheme like this, basically leadbelcher armour, cyan helmet, black bdu's

Finished some units this weekend, so i can finally display a 2k list of flesh tearers.

My hobby time has recently been taken up by ambitious gamesmastering duties and research, half-painted models languishing forgotten on the painting table, but at least there's been some tabletop time in there. More gaming pictures it is, then! This time it's been a solid weekend filled with a couple of big Titanicus clashes full of nuclear fire and fender benders with our loyalist line taking the cake against a traitorous mutant horde.










Exidium Ultimum got to take a walk in the second game, crushing three Warlords after the scenario forced us into a very aggressive spearhead deployment

Fantastic work guys! Gitdakka I love those Blood Ravens, very nice job! Should get some other factions in and re-create the Dawn of War games there

Sherrypie, as words will not do I will just exclaim:

They are very similar to blood ravens, but they are actually meant to be flesh tearers, a blood angels successor chapter known for their bloodlust and berserker rage. Here are the colour schemes next to each other.

Test print and paint of Grimdark Terrain's last set.

First without base (the spiders are from a friend's eldars):






And then, as I had some thin MDF and I just happen to have bought a flocking machine, well... (the orks are mine this time xD)

Lovely ruins there, Albertorius. Joyfully retro colours, too

Thanks! I'm finding myself going a bit for the retro feel as of late, for some reason ^^

Those Orks look amazing. Love the retro look.

Original GW plastics from back in the day baby

Finished the core Legion Demi-Company of my Iron Hands Astartes.

Vintage GW plastics given new love.

Just beautiful!

I love the work on the bases too, great contrast with the troops and looks great.

Looking mighty fine, though the bases could do with a smidge more dirt to hide the plastic plates they're standing on

Thank you.

Agree, added a little to little on some of those. Did a better job with that on my Terminators.

Thank you Sir! 🤗

Just a couple of small units of Epic Eldar I have completed.

Some Warp Hunter artillery/tanks, these are GW originals (always liked the miniatures for these but never got hold of them back in the 90s, unfortunately had to pay a fair bit more for them than I would have back then!)


With these guys just having some fun with the 30k setting with a new and fabricated Aspect warrior unit, known as the Bleeding Blades. They are comprised of master swordsmen who each try to find formidable opposing warriors with which to test their skills. Their blades have a special wraith-bone construct which allows them to 'absorb' the final moments of those they best in battle, and can re-live these fights afterwards. That I have used some Dark Eldar miniatures (a proxy from Onslaught miniatures) to represent them, and they obviously have not survived to the 40k era as an Aspect Warrior house, gives a hint that they may be walking a bit close to the line as far as the fall of the Eldar/Slaanesh is concerned!

Those are some sweet loking eldar you got there! Those aspect warriors are lit.

I just painted some hellhounds and rough riders for my guard.

Very nice - are those the classic plastic rough riders, or a new design?

Always used to have them in my guard army as they were great for protecting artillery formations from pesky cult of speed or annoying wind rider hosts

Those are metals, 3rd party from vanguard miniatures.

I think they will be usefull to to screen, flank or deploy ahead as garrisions. Cheap, yet not entirely harmless. Will be fun to try them

Some rough riders on mukaali's

Woah, very cool!

Love both configs of Rough Riders!

I have finished my first batch of scatter terrain & objective markers for Epic30k, Titanicus & Dropzone Commander. Good fun weathering these!

Very cool stuff!

Works so well on that battle mat.
