Asuryani - Craftworld Eldar (New Stuff added 19May2019)

[tim in saskatoon]

This year I've decided to switch focus (from the Imperial Guard I've been working on the last couple years) and finish up some of the Eldar I've been collecting up over the years with a sight on completing a full "Brigade" Detachment of Asuryani (Craftworld Eldar) and a "Battalion" detachment of Harlequins (and possibly a few Drukhari).

To get things kick-started I'm hoping to complete a 1000 point battalion of Asuryani for a small tournament coming up in mid-April - just five weeks away!

The first unit I've finished off is a squad of Rangers



Old metal Ranger minis from Games Workshop.



Rather than more terrestrial colours four their camouflage cloaks I decided to go with something a bit more alien.

Shiny...and very special. Never seen such a paint scheme on these models.

Love them..

They bring joy to plain 40k

Love the camo scheme strangely reminds me of avatar movie 👍

[von Lucky]

I'm liking that camo scheme too.

Thank you all for your kind words!

Here is the second squad of Rangers:



I decided to do the reverse of the camouflage cloak with these to make is clear who is in which squad. Also, for Kill Team, I could just take Rangers from separate squads to easily identify who is who.



I do have a third squad I'll be painting at some point - but it won't be for a little while as I have other things I need to finish up for the tournament I'm getting these ready for - just five weeks away!

Here is the entire force of Aeldari, so far:



The Dire Avengers and Guardians I painted just over a year ago to use as a Kill Team in Shadow War: Armageddon. I won't be using the Guardians in the upcoming tournament. The rest of that force will be made up of a Farseer and a couple of Warlocks, some Aspect Warriors, and a couple of Wraith Lords - all older metal models.

Not sure which will be next. Perhaps the Farseer and Warlocks...? 

[AWu]

WOW

Second batch is even better!

[von Lucky]

I agree - with alien terrain it'll really set the mood. (And I'm also looking forward to seeing the Wraith Knight.)

[Agis]

Normally I would dislike the paint scheme, but with the corresponding terrain the back it all fits VERY well, so CUDOS to you!

[Elbows]

Nice paintwork.  If I'm honest, I'd rather see pics of them without terrain or the mat (hard to really make them out).  I know they're Rangers, but I'd rather actually see the minis!

Thank you.

Here are the latest...



Farseer and two Warlocks.



Farseer Thymiltelyir



Warlocks Adrellewi and Bro'wyn

There are a few more pics of these on my blog:

A few pics of the Rangers without woods to hide in...

[Elbows]

Awesome, and much easier to see them!  I approve of your choice of purple (has a massive purple Eldar army)

[Daeothar]

That has always been my favourite Farseer mini

And with your alien terrain, the camo on those rangers actually is extremely effective! Kudos...

[Elbows]

Just be careful.  I hid some Eldar scouts in a ruin back in 2004-2005...and they blended in so well I forgot about them all game until we were cleaning up.  Cowards!

Ha! Oh dear! That's part of the reason I like to make bright "alien" camouflage - so they stand out. Of course going and painting then the same bright colours I used on my Deathworld Forest terrain may not have been the best of plans!
