I figured I might as well get around to making one of these seeing as I had a bunch of Eldar laying around waiting to be painted
I haven't based any of them yet though, I'm still thinking of Rangers and how I will fit them in.


First, Seachmall, a slight conversion using the parts in the Battleforce to create my Craftworld's version of Prince Yriel.

I made the eye lense by cutting up a spare head from the Space Marine Commander box, then it needed to be filed down a bit so it fit properly on the head, which also needed filing a little as his angry expression got in the way a bit. If I have to do it again I would probably not do it that way as it became pretty annoying

Next my Autach, I've posted it in a topic I made in the Painting and Modelling section before, but I've fixed it up thanks to all the helpful suggestions I got from that topic and all the helpful advice I got for painting faces from the local GW.



Dire Avenger Squad 1

Still definitely WIP


At the moment the second squad of DA is built, but unpainted. But I have painted their Wave Serpent though. The turret is still unpainted though and I need to fix up some spots on it.




I'll post more stuff in the next post rather than making one big one.

Guardian Squad
Orriginally that guy on the right was suposed to be a warlock conversion. Basically I wanted the Farseer's and Warlocks to not have so many robes as the normal ones, because it seemed like it would probably be something that gets in their way.
Though once I convert a better Farseer than the current one, it will become a Warlock and I guess this one will be the start to a Storm Guardian Squad.


And a close up on the Scatter Laser and it's crew. Gun wasn't magnetized though, something I'll have to do for later ones.


Guardian Jetbikes
Pretty much the reason I painted over the windows of the Wave Serpents was because I wanted to use the cockpits for a conversion at some point. So instead of buying the Jetbike with the metal Shuriken Cannon thrown on the front I decided to just convert one instead.


Just noticed the wings really blend in with the rest of it

Dark Reapers
Not much to say really, they kill Space Marines which is nice though.



An old picture of the Farseer


I still have to take a new picture of the Farseer, plus all the pictures of the Avatar came out blurry so they'll have to be taken again.

Stuff left to paint
DA squad 2
DA squad 1
6 Swooping Hawks (never really living up their points so they'll be replaced by a Wraithlord soon)
2 Guardian Jetbikes
5 Guardians
Wave Serpent turret
Plus various touch ups on the rest of the army

I'll have to base them as well so I'm currently thinking of an urban basing scheme, but also a couple others. I also have to get some Green Stuff and some Dark Elf Warriors to finish the Farseer conversion I think I mentioned above.

A few more pictures of the Shuriken Catapult Jetbike

Some pictures of an Objective Marker I started working on today. Painted a bunch of Guardians and found the top half of one in bits, and the legs leftover from the Jetbike. At first it kind of looked like he was just sitting down for a tea party or something >_>
So needle nose pliers ftw




Still WIP, needs some touch ups and washes still.
