TITHI got sidetracked again and dug out my Eldar. I took the GSC Magos I've had in my stash for too long and after some rummaging in my bitz supply put together an Exodite Farseer.

She's actually entirely GW plastic; the head is from the Kabalite Warrior box, and the spearhead, forearm and shuriken pistol is from the RT Eldar weapon sprue(!). That aside all the work was carving and a tiny bit of gapfilling (mostly sprue-goo but one larger piece needed Tamiya putty).

 

I'm intending to use her as part of an Exodite/"Savage Eldar" Kill Team for Offbeat Build's Grim Team challenge. Need to decide which base team to use as the template...

Purchased the last of my outstanding kits for my Salamanders ahead of the price increase later this month; some Gladiator tanks, another Storm Speeder variant (Thunderstrike to pair with my Hammerstrike), Eliminators, Terminator Ancients and the two Iron Hands characters that I'll convert into Techmarines one day to represent the Chapter's Masters of the Forge triumvirate.

A few days ago in the hobby I put together two operatives for my Savage Eldar Kill-Team to be run as the Hand of the Archon (see above); one is a Skysplinter Assassin and the other is a Heavy Gunner.

Both are made from a mix of Kabalite Warrior parts with 3D printed heads and torsos and some other assorted bits (the assassin uses RT Guardian weapon arms, a vulture from the Giant kit and a top-fed shuriken catapult taken from the Wraithlord kit with a handle added).

I'm particularly pleased with the catapult, actually.

I took a break from 40k and dabbled in another rising game system from Warlord as a palette cleanser which has been fun but have now settled on a 4th Ed Dark Angels army along with a Word Bearers Chaos Space Marine army. Captain/Company Master is coming along nicely. Ideally I'd like to do Orks as well but starting a fresh army these days is stupidly expensive.

 

The other beauty of 4th edition is that vehicle design rules means I can include the likes of knights and anything I fancy so conversions opportunities are abundant.

 

I think it helps to try something else for a bit to clean out the cobwebs. The plastic Hersey marines feel massive now but I have spent an enjoyable evening hand painting back banners for the Dark Angels. I even used my old paints from the dawn of time.  :smile:

YiTH - While taking a sick day I decided to start work on a new knight lance. I got the defender sub assembled and ran out of glue while working on the destrier. Not wanting to put on pants to walk up to the game store I called it for the day. 

Bought 2 more Impulsors to place upon my grey mountain before the price increase. Now I have 4 in total for all the rear variations, the Ironhail Skytalon Array looks more effective/consistent at dealing with infantry in 11th Edition, where as before I would've built a pair with the Bellicatus Missile Array for its versitility.

TitH I had a few hours without kids and 25 quid in my pocket, so I made a start on a reversible Kill Team Board. One side will be for regular city fight games, the other for Gallowdark.

Is that coffee and donuts?

tea, chocolate biscuits and a drank beer!

 

Tea and beer? 

 

Sounds like Heresy to me...

Some of us have a strange urge to look at everything else in the photograph, beyond what you wanted us to look at. :wink:

The God Emperor demands a keen eye ever on guard against the ruinous powers. I'll take just the beer.

TITHI made a start on converting this incomplete 3E Raider into a primitive (by Eldar standards) grav-skiff to act as a transport for my Savage Eldar.

I am not very good with styrene work, but hopefully a round of sanding and puttywork should make it look more like wraithbone an less like sheet metal. Also considering removing and replacing some of the "railing" on the prow and the tail to make it less obviously the old Raider.

I tried gunpla scribing guide tape and I managed to remove the stained glass window from the Land Speeder Vengeance without any damage to the base model and only some slight material loss to the window part.
