It’s been a very long time since I’ve shared my collection (a couple of years in fact!) and I thought now that with the new Eldar releases around the corner I’d finally show some of my hobby projects I’ve done in that time for my ever growing collection of space elves!

Especially with the fact that Eldar Corsairs are officially going to be in the new codex I’m very excited to field my Eldritch Raiders army!

My Void Dreamer/Seer Council:



Void Dreamers:



Void Dreamer Lord:





“Pyro” Warlock:





“Nature” Warlock:





“Sea” Warlock:





Mounted Void Dreamer:





Corsair Wraithguard:



Corsair Warp Spiders:





My Corsair Prince/Helmeted Prince Yriel conversion:





Retinue:



And various Corsairs:













I’ll share some more of my collection relatively soon! I have lots more Corsair Reaver infantry and wraith units!

Wow those totally rock - in particular I love the Yriel conversion and the yellow helmets with stripes - nice call back to the original "space elves" of Rogue Trader days!

Awesome work!

I appreciate that! I’m a huge fan of the original Space Elf look for my armies. The majority of my infantry consists of the RT era ones as well. Hopefully I’ll have some more time to take better pictures of them to share!

Hey all! Just took some more photos of my collection of Eldar Corsairs!

Here’s a couple leaders:











The majority of minis in my army are older space elves from rogue trader. I love the sculpts and have been slowly collecting them over the years! Here’s a handful of my infantry:







I really like incorporating random colors on some members of my Warband while also having the majority retain a semblance of ‘uniformity’. Really it’s just the overall palate that stays the same with some random Aeldari adventurers in the mix



Here’s Corsair Adventurer. I wanted to give some of these random outcasts in my units more unique armor patterns, potentially telling a small story? This one has a strange star/cosmic pattern on their armor:



A little group shot:



Along with my Warp Spiders, my Corsair force also has another very small squadron of Aspect warriors. These Dire Avengers are just a five-elf strong unit, mainly used as a “honor guard” for my warlock and farseer characters:





I tried to make sure they would have something to tie them into the rest, mainly with the tiger stripes to show their allegiance to the Warband







And that’s all for now again… I’ll try to make time and take more pictures soon! Hopefully I’ll be able to showcase the rest of my infantry and maybe my wraithlords!

These look incredible, really dig your painting style.

Can I ask about that ice blue colour of the robes of that warlock, what is the recipe?

Thank you, I appreciate that!

As for that particular warlock, iirc I used a mix of Vallejo paint and P3. I unfortunately don’t remember the exact color, but the base was a relatively bright turquoise/aqua. I mixed white into the paint and Kept layering up until pure white. I hope that helps! (If I have time I’ll look through my paints box and see if one of those colors can jog my memory and I’ll let you know - I’m sure there’s a citadel equivalent of that base!)

Today I have something just a little different. An old conversion of the man, the myth, the legend - Duke Traevelliath Sliscus





I don’t typically use him much, it’s been years since he’s seen the table. It was a really fun conversion I did with a whole bunch of kits. Old harlequins, Jetbiker, cold ones, Kabalites, and some black ark corsairs bits all mashed together.

After his rules were removed I generally used him as a Corsair Prince when Doom of Mymaera released and the Duke took to the field once more. If I fielded him now I suppose I would use him as either an Autach or a stand in for Prince Yriel to represent the Sky Serpents for a game!

Hope you like it! Will take more photos soon.

Nice scheme FJ.

Cheers,

CB

Amazing Work!!! Also, I'm jealous of those old school minis, great collection!!

Very cool stuff!

A really cool force FJ, the Warp Spiders are particularly cool. The helmet marking add loads of interest

Thanks everyone! I’m glad you like seeing my little Warband here.

Since the new Eldar codex is on the horizon I thought I should keep up sharing my army of corsairs.

Here’s a small squad of Rangers I made for my collection:





I don’t think they’re particularly great, but I like them. I wanted to make sure I had some rangers for my force as to keep with the “Outcast” theme of my force.



I kept the colors and usual tiger stripes a bit more subtle on these, mainly just so they look at least… kinda stealthy!



These conversations were also very simple. They were just made from spare bits I had consisting of dire avengers and guardians. The Long Rifles were leftover Lasblasters from the old FW Corsairs kit. The hoods and cloaks were just sculpted with green stuff. I think they came out alright - they sorta give me an elvish cloak vibe, sort of looking like rocks.



I’ll be sharing a lot more in the coming days!

Those are some badass-looking space elves, love the grittiness of your style too.
