Pulp Eldar
« on: June 09, 2020, 07:50:21 AM »
Hi all

I really want to start an Eldar army using the fantastic hydra retro raygun minis.
They have great counts as jet bikes but I'm stuck on what to use for the larger vehicles like Falcons etc.
Something like Flash Gordon's ship would be great but not too big!

Can anyone help with suggestions?

I'm in the uk

Thanks alot

Have you looked at the Blue Moon spacecraft?  Pretty typical flying saucer stuff.

Look at the urban war, syntha tanks at Scotia Grendal, they're pretty pulpy and would look cool next to ghe Hydra stuff

Without the turret, I reckon it would be perfect... Good call, that man :) .

Depending on what its counts as, I can use it or not too as alot of the Eldar vehicles are based on the same chassis

Star Wars Episode 2 had a great pulpy look to it.  Despite all its other flaws, visually it was a great artistic prequel to the later WW2 in space original trilogy.

If you can find toys of Obi-Wan's star fighter in a good size, that has great Falcon flair all over it.  Anakin's speeder might also fit in.
