Nice work, Agis.

I think the new cannon works really well with the old platform.
Did it take much modification to get it to fit?

Incidentally: Thanks to this thread and that of Elbows I have added a few more figures to my Old Skool Eldar pile, including three more Ghost Warriors.

 lol lol
Oh, I will be.
Thanks to the two of of you (and a recent game of SWA using those that are already done) I have rekindled my love of Old Skool Eldar. The recent photobucket debacle killed all the evidence of them over here so I shall have to start another thread too, I guess...
Thanks for the inspiration, chaps.

I've just checked this out after Mason referenced it in his own thread. Wow! Fantastic paint jobs.

I continued my work on old Eldar, this week Dire Avengers.


Rogue Trader Craftworld Eldar 1991 - Dire Avengers - one of the few Aspect miniatures with better modern sculpts. The Exarch is from today’s plastic Dire Avengers.


Minor conversion of the current 2017 plastic Dire Avengers, the legs are from a normal plastic Guardian, also the cloth, all the rest is from the Dire Avenger box.

...as always, more on my site http://www.adpublishing.de/html/eldar.html

When I started collecting Eldar back in the 1990s there were some metal minis and that was it. Today we even have Eldar terrain!
I noticed some supporting companies that made suitable terrain pieces. The webway entrance below is from Miniatures scenery, a mdf sheet named Elven Dais. It is not really expensive, but after shipment and German sales taxes it was too costly. In addition it was a pain to build.

Do not get me wrong you can build it straightaway and it looks OK, the problem is that the edges are too sharp, looking more like Dark Eldar but not like a wraithbone Craftworld construct! So A LOT of sanding was required...

After some subtle airbrushing and the piece was ready. I may even add some of the new vines from GW.

More retouching of my 20 years old minis... Craftworld Eldar Warp Spider. All minis are the original metal castings!

I played them last week in a 1500 pts game, a bit disappointing. Somehow I never used Warp Spiders effectively, no matter the game edition...
Anyway, I love the minis, so I will try again.
