SIDE NOTE: I started warhamemr thinking I was a Tau player.... When i realized all they do is shoot and run from CC, I immediately switched. Dont get me wrong, I love me some guns, but I also like having options.

Eldar caught my attention when I read a little bit about them and their low numbers dying race. Reminded me slightly of spartans and 300 vs a million. They I read how they used to basically be top tier number 1 rulers and it reminded me of the Romans. When the Eldar fell and turned into what they are now, I thought "hey sounds like the fall of the Roman empire". So I put space elf spartan romans together in my head. How can you say no. Boom, new Eldar player.

Painting: I hope to achieve a balance between what I think looks Roman or Spartan-like or greek mixed with the original Eldar colors.

First set I purchased, Guardians. Knew nothing about the game upon purchase. Thought hey check these dudes out and their cool weapon platform, PEW PEW!

MOSTLY FINISHED.... as i said.... mostly... I dont feel like I'll ever finish a unit completely.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My second set being the Awesome Dire Avengers. The REAL SPARTANS. Getting a little better at painting I think.

Not yet complete.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Picked up some odds and ends to play. Codex, Templates, dice, and a bunch of paints.

THANK YOU for looking. More to come. I will try to update each area when I paint or build more. Any comments are appreciated. Except nonconstructive ones. Keep those to yourself lol.

And I have not yet tried my hand at green stuff. It seems scary. I have also not based my Models yet. I will get to that. My free time has just increased due to an internship ending, so I will post as often as possible.

The only conversion I thought about was slapping my farseer on a dragon from warhammer fantasy lol. Or using part of the Balrog model from lotr to add to the avatar.

And thank for the first post compliment.

Ok so I had some time on my hands and decided to continue to magnetize all of my aspect warrior Exarchs so that I can swap out weapons. I use 1/16 x 1/32 discs for my infantry or small things and 1/8 x 1/16 discs for vehicles and the likes.

I also got some paint in for my scorpions. This base layer of dark angel green. Then hit it wit a thin mix of 50/50 scorpion green and dark angel green. The did a thicker wash of Scorpion green. Kinda like how its looking so far. Gotta figure out where to incorporate the gold. Probably the shoulder pads and helmet again. Id like to get their dreads to look really cool. I find that feature about them looks alot like Predator. Which goes hand in had with what these guys do! Anyway, here is pics...

The scorpions weren't quite dry yet, but probably will be by the time this is posted.

Now that I am up to date with everything I have done I will try to make smaller more detailed posts and explain a little more what I am doing. Thanks for looking
