TrawlingCleaner Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I've had an eldar army sat in a pile of sprues for quite a long time, roughly since wake the dead came out as I managed to snag the eldar half and quite a bit more of dirt cheap. I finally know what scheme I want to go for, which as the title suggests is Iybraesil, and have painted a few test models. I have just finished my AoP board for my Iron taurans Space marine army and want to put them on the backburner for a little while so some of my other projects can enjoy some of the painting mojo I have gained recently. I have played maybe 3 games with this army and enjoyed them thoroughly, although found that the craftworld traits were particularily lacklusture (although I am definitely spoiled as I play Marines mostly). With the PA book out I think I would run with create-a-trait probably with healing vehicles a wound a turn and increasing shuriken by 4" as I play against orks and 'nids a lot. Although the children of Morag-hei is particularly fluffy with my craftworld choice, I don't think it'll come up very much. Test scheme wise, I tried several different blues and in the end chose TSons blue. I was unsure of whether guardians would have this many soul stones but iin the end I liked the look of it so I stuck with it. Here's the test model: IMG_20191002_194616 IMG_20191002_194626 IMG_20191002_194631 Base coats of blue done on the first batch of models: IMG_20191002_213822 And an Autarch: IMG_20191021_212336 Any tips or C&C is much appreciated Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/359367-craftworld-iybraesil-wip-project-log/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

MithrilForge Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 well done on finally getting around to them i like the blue, it's not a usual blue you see on Eldar so that's a good thing, good craftworld choice too,my mate chose Iybraesil as well but he went the Hawk turquoise route... watch those mold lines on the rest of you troops,and i'd recommend not doing every bump as a gem it'll drive you crazy... look forwards to seeing you past the basecoat stages and onto the less annoying and more cool parts!! Cheers, Mithril Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/359367-craftworld-iybraesil-wip-project-log/#findComment-5415581 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Mithril They've been sat there since wake the dead came out and I got the Eldar half for dead cheap a couple of times over. With my space marine army getting to a point where I'm happy with them for the time being my motivation for this army finally picked up and I decided to finally start these guys with a bit of a different colour scheme. The guardians have loads of mould lines I carried on with soulgems everywhere and I kind of like it tbh. It breaks it up a bit, they do need some tidying but here's the result so far: IMG_20191029_172813 IMG_20191029_172816 IMG_20191029_172825 IMG_20191029_172830 IMG_20191029_172924 IMG_20191029_172954 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/359367-craftworld-iybraesil-wip-project-log/#findComment-5416697 Share on other sites More sharing options...
