stuka06 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Hey everyone, in November, with Wake the Dead, I started an Eldar army with a focus on getting things on the table. Easy scheme, premixed colors, lots of airbrush, you know the drill. By now, I bought 4 Wake the Dead and 3 Battle Force boxes and use my current free time to churn through as much as I can. 70 Guardians with weapon plattforms are next, but for now, here's what I've finished so far Around 1500 points. But not yet ready to game. I started with a couple of test minis Wanted to try out all three colours once. Fortunately, I still have a couple of old Eldar minis lying around. not sure what I'll do with them. Metal Wraith Lords and War Walkers Then I painted a unit of Wraithguard. Trying out sub assemblies and seeing the color scheme work, I was confident moving forward. Then I painted a Wave Serpent. I had stencils laying around, so I tried them out. Learned a bit about the sequence of which colours to put down first when I had to paint the grey parts over the finished panels. (I have since added black to the canopy) Then a big shipment with the additional Wake the Dead boxes and Hemlocks came in and I finished up my dedicated transports. All 3 were painted in one go. Masking with tape and liquid latex and a better application of the stencil in my opinion. And the last thing I finished were my Hemlocks. They are magnetized to also work as Crimson Hunters (and Exarchs) I haven't taken pictures of the squadron as one, but these pictures feature all 3 It's abit pictture heavy, but I'll post my coming units here as well. On Instagram, @hobbyvices started a hashtag for your hobby resolutions. My main one was to finish 80% of the Eldar I have. Using Battlescribe I calculated everything up to ~5000 points. So as of right now, my target to hit is ~4000 points by the end of the year (there are other goals as well) But I do recognize that it will be a moving target. If I get anything else like an Autarch or Heavy Support choices, my target moves up as well. Wish me luck Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353018-making-of-a-gaming-army-eldar/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearson73 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Liking the colour scheme, that's some smooth work you've done. The criss-cross fading pattern on the vehicles looks really good too.

Dosjetka Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Very clean and very good. :tu: There are a few rough parts but for a gaming army where speed of painting is the priority, I think you've done a solid job and when you/people will be looking at them at arm's length, they'll look fine. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353018-making-of-a-gaming-army-eldar/#findComment-5232165 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wakkomaster Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Whoa. Chapeau! One of the wraithguard seems to be looking down as to say "...what in the Craftworld did I just step on...?"

Honda Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Very nicely done and I like the desaturated palette of colors. So is that a teal color you used? I think that's what I'm seeing, correct?

PowerHungryMonkey Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Nice, simple paint scheme but extremely effective. The addition of the patches of hatching brings it to the next level Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353018-making-of-a-gaming-army-eldar/#findComment-5238340 Share on other sites More sharing options...
