Hi Folks, This CtA25 challenge has been the event that brought me up to putting the last touches of bruches on my Assuryanii. All factions released are represented in a big Ynnari party. I'd still like to increase a little bit this force with a few units such as Dark Reapers or Wraithblades, but it will not be so soon. I have other project so far. It is a big army. And some units deserve maybe a little focus. First come these Corsairs - 3 units of VoidReavers, out of which 2 are kitbashed. Another kit bash is the Autach made out of some BAnshee parts and the Old Dhrazaar Yvraine leads the way. As a GW's junky, I might some day complete the Triumvirat of Ynnead with her lover, and may be with the Dramatis Personnae that helped her: Jain Zaar, Yriel, Eldrad and Lelith. What would be a Saim-Hann army without Windriders? And the venerable WraithLord, my first Eldar mini ever. As a final touch, a farseer with his retinue. Should they be all fitted with Singing spears, this unit could be the ultimate Titanic vehicle hunter... A nice trip. That requires hitting the table top more often. See you folks, and in-between, visit the Galleries!

Hi folks, It has been a long time since posting anything there. End of yeqr has been complicated and full of work overload. And 2025 is going to start this a similar tumultous pattern, but this will be discused another time. After a hiatus of 4 weeks, for flu and then for spending time painting dwarves for the World that Was, I finally resumed the painting of my Kabalite reinforcement for Ynnari. I did the bodies and I had left apart the heads and weapons + the final assembly. Now it is done. Let's have a look: The whole squad: Some randomely selected close ups: The kabal is name less. it will reinforce the Aeldarii until new codex is out. I wonder how the future rule will impact the way I use Dark kins in the Ynnari. I especially wonder if my recently bought Scourges will still be usable and if Mandrakes painted a few months ago will still be a thing. Until then I will keep Dark eldar expension and painting on hold. I will try to share again in this blog in the next days, while I reorganize and pack my collection. Why would you ask? Well a big stuff is under stew/simmering. but January will tell more. See you in a next entry of this blog.

Hi Folks, After painting most of what I though I could in the Imperium forum, I added 2 almost "last minute" vows in the Xeno Forum: - 5 Incubis and their objective marker - for 5 or maybe 6 pts - the Yncarne No surprise, these are a way to increase my Asuryanis though Ynnari faction play. See previous entry and probably some future ones too. In both cases I aligned my scheme on the ones promoted on GW boxes. I am chronically lacking of creativity (this is proved) but I also wanted to limit the decision making process (I can proscratinate a lot). I managed to fulfill both entries in 1 week, and being a copycat while using narrow colour pallets helped a lot. Let see the suspects. Incubis have been largely inspired from the claimed "Ynnari scheme" that can be found on the back of the box and on the GW websites. The armour is made of Incubi darkness, washed with 1:5 black in water. The rest is annecdotical: metal (clear) for blades qnd cuting stuff, red ribbons and white pads. I tried the Vallejo 70.951 as white on Corax white and the contrast is a little bit violent. It might require a future downdown. The Yncarne is as straight forward as can be. red character and frosthearth energy cloud. Everything in COntrast. first time for me the base coat is 100% Contrast on a model. Them subtility is added through washes and dry bruches. I had quite a lot of issues with the final assembly and I have not been able to position properly yhr character on the swirl. I identified 2 delictive points: 1. the base of the swirl is set with a small mispositioning on the scenic base 2. for some reason the bottom of the hair of the Yncarne and the top of the hair on the swirl, where you make the connection, are a little bit deformed. you cannot match all the details and grooves, as if the bottom part was a little bit larger than it should be. There is a small additional angle too. Resulting that the Yncarne is not that centered and looks like it tries to slide ahead. It gives a puzzling idea of forward movement, like trying a hoover jet for first time... But I am any way OK with the result: an ambitious model and probably the most complicated to assemble so far. Here are some close up of the base and epic hero: CTA2024 is now over for me. I ended 24h before deadline, so, I am happy that all my items and vows are complete. See you soon,
