Nice work :)

But you've got quite a long road to walk yet, judging by all those boxes. Will you be painting all of those? And if so; how many points would that equate to?


The chosen paint scheme does remind me of the one I chose for my (3rd ed) Dark Eldar. Which is a good thing, obviously ;)

Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...

I may have gone all-out picking up these Eldar - so many boxes  o_o

Your DE look great! Turquoise and pink just work well together!

Cheers :) I call them my CGA-army, but every time I make that reference, I get met with blank stares...  lol

Many thanks! The Guardians will be a more accurate representation of the “army as a whole” as they’ll be simpler.

This Eldrad was broken, had two coats of primer, and needed cleanup before I painted him. But a good practice piece!

When your practice piece looks like that, I look forward to seeing the finished articles.

One of six Harlequin Jetbikes done, as a test for the other five.


Commission work… it never seems to end…

If you don’t want so much commission work, quit doing such a good job at it!  ;)

Seriously though, that jet bike looks amazing, well done! The eldar will be a striking looking force if the rest are on that level.

Thanks!  :D These aren’t even mine - mine will be “better”.
Ironically, the client asked me to tone down the tan parts to just gold to match what his prior painter did. Uh, easy. I can so do that.  lol

Re: Project Eldar… 2nd edition metal dread start…

Another commission piece.

How cool is this: an old school second edition era metal Eldar dreadnought. Was painted with about three layers of paint, but a soak in acetone seems to have taken the most of it off. This will be a lot of fun to reassemble and repaint as a Harlequin themed dread.
