Swan-of-War Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Here's my latest project, an Eldar Exodites list using bugs instead of dinosaurs. I've kitbashed Nausicaa Ohmu (Ban Dai), Arachnarok and Nurgle Plague Drones into wave serpents, a nightspinner and war walkers respectively. The mini-Ohmu are dark reapers, the fire dragon conversion is their handler/ exarch. Also used DE scourges as a base for my banshees. Hope you like them!

Swan-of-War Posted December 15, 2017 Author Share Posted December 15, 2017 Looking to add some shining spears and possibly an autarch w/reaper launcher (hunting those nasty support characters). Also need to finish up Jain Zar and convert a Farseer walter h 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/342367-wip-nausicaa-themed-eldar-exodites/#findComment-4960757 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montford Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 That army looks very cool, and I'll bet it was a lot of fun in making it!

Swan-of-War Posted December 19, 2017 Author Share Posted December 19, 2017 Got some HQs tabletop ready. Eldrad, Jain Zar, farseer, warlock and an autarch on mowe glider (skyrunner) conversion. I don't really plan on running Eldrad but thought I'd give him some love. Someone painted him gold w/verdigris as a statue. I've got some Sylvaneth sprites that I think I'll work into the basing too. Meh, good enough for government work Jain Zar is wearing a body suit instead of nekkid. Thinking of giving her a reaver helmet hanging from her belt so that she matches the Banshees. Also, I realize that a triskele blade is facing the wrong direction but I can't be bothered to fix it. I was actually zip kicking her over the sink and one of them fell off and down the drain. Luckily I had a spare bit and was able to complete her, think that's when I screwed up the conversion. Oh, and the warlock (witch?) is based on the DE Lahmian model. I initially gave her a plastic warlock head but it was huge on her body. The farseer one I found was marginally smaller and the best I could do. Switched out her weapons for a witchblade and shuriken pistol. Kinda like her. She'll be tagging along with Jain Zar and Bansheers to toss an Empower (+1 to Wound in Fight phase) on them to help counter that sorry Strength 3. walter h and Azekai 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/342367-wip-nausicaa-themed-eldar-exodites/#findComment-4963740 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swan-of-War Posted January 4, 2018 Author Share Posted January 4, 2018 Its been awhile but I finally got me Shining Spear conversions tabletop ready.

Swan-of-War Posted January 21, 2018 Author Share Posted January 21, 2018 Here's my Court of the Young Queen, Biel Tan e'ry day. Had to sacrifice one of the Ohmu for her scenic base but I think it was worth it. Plus, the unit of six will fit into a Falcon now Montford, Jolemai and Zebulon 3 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/342367-wip-nausicaa-themed-eldar-exodites/#findComment-4989170 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swan-of-War Posted January 24, 2018 Author Share Posted January 24, 2018 Worked on the woldrath beetle today. It's going to be either a fire prism, falcon or another night spinner.

Ioldanach Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 I don't know what Nausicaa is (I've heard of it, but that's the extent of my knowledge ), but that is a really cool and distinctive army that I would love to see across the table. I'm looking forward to seeing more. Great job!

Dulahan Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Look into the movie, at least, Ioldanach. Early Miyazaki anime, and it's amazing as a story on its own. But I fully endorse this entire project. Those are all amazing!

Swan-of-War Posted March 3, 2018 Author Share Posted March 3, 2018 (edited) Worked some more on my Wave Serpents and Falcon, adding to the weapon loadouts.

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Ah, this is great! I saw Nausicaa as a kid (the early Warriors of the Wind version that Miyazaki hated) and it's probably my favorite anime of all time. Really like the maeve conversion and I'd like to see more shots of that when you get it finished.
