Eldar update

I find it very weird that I only have a couple of posts about my eldar, but they are by far the most played army I have and I have painted a lot of it.

A month or so ago, I managed to finally finish two pieces for my eldar, the new Avatar of Khaine and some rangers. Since the new 9th edition book dropped for eldar, all my troops choices I had painted up, are now elite. So I needed to paint some to field a fully painted force again, and I just so happen to have a pile of metal rangers. 

First up though, the avatar. Loved this model, and of course for nostalgia reasons, had to go with the classic look. I remember playing against this model tons of times in 2nd edition and it was always so hard to kill. To celebrate the finished model, I actually played a game with it recently against a friends Space Wolves, and this thing annihilated agressors, Bjorn, a redemptor deadnought and most of a Blood Claws pack just on its own before it died. An absolute beast.


The rangers I wanted to try sponging on camo for once. Kind of happy with how it turned out. Notice I have the crouching observing ranger which got released ages ago. They also did well in the game against the Space Wolves, sniping Ragnar before he got into combat. 

So there we have it, a bit more complete for my eldar. 

Lately (in the last week or so), I have been getting excited for 2nd Edition 40k. A friend has asked to play it so I have been updating and fixing my old Space Wolves. I will endeavour to post the updates here when I can.

Thanks for looking!

Badab War Part 4 Final

 I can't believe it has been 5 months since my last post! I have been very busy in my defense, and have quite a few updates to do. I really need to work out a system to regularly post. If you know of one, please let me know.

Still, I have painted my initial 1000 points or so force of Minotaurs for the campaign. Very happy with them.

Did a quick finish of the chaplain. Very cool model from Forge World.
A unit of multimelta devastators.
Finally, my bodyguard for Asterion Moloc. They count as thunder hammer and storm shields. The spears and shields are 3D prints from somewhere. The shoulder pads are press molds from Moloc before I painted him. Really happy with this unit and they look amazing.

Final army shot along with the extra drop pods for the force. A nice little force and very happy with them. I have no plans to expand them at present. I need more Crusade games at this level before they require some expansion. I plan of dropping the devastators by drop pod so they can draw eyes on their targets.

That brings me up to date for this project. Hopefully by the end of the week, I can provide another update!

Thanks for looking!
