Project Eldar: Dark Reapers and Asurmen p.8

[HerbertTarkel]

These are also a Killteam set; they are modern versions of what were Rogue Trader era Eldar Pirates.

Almost done the whole commission! This is the final unit of Warp Spiders.


Next up are:

10x Dark Reapers

Maugan Ra

Asurmen

The end is near.

So the guy I’m painting these for decided that he needed one more model for the tournament this weekend. Maugan Ra had been started, and I finished him up in time. Thirteen models left in the commission!

Lovely work there, sir! I do have a soft spot for the Eldar figures - they were one of my favourite armies to field although I think that the newer figures are much nicer than the older ones whilst still retaining that same look of each of the various aspects.
Tastes and, perhaps, wargaming rules/styles have changed the makeup of the armies though - back when I played 3rd almost every Eldar army had a contingent of jetbikes and/or a Viper, the Phoenix Lords were only rarely seen but an Avatar was amost a must-have!

Thanks Rick!

Yeah, I started with Eldar back in 2nd edition - the Avatar was a MUST have! Also, he was small as a model back then

I know, I used to have an older model with the cloak and spear as well as the bigger, newer model (back then) with a sword - wish I'd kept them now.

Finish line is here for the batches I’ve been commissioned to do.


These ten Dark Reapers are meant to be Maugan Ra’s retinue.

Finally, Asurmen! A terrific new sculpt of a classic Phoenix Lord. Painted in Iyanden theme colours. I picked away at this model for the better part of the month, coming back to it to get it looking the way I wanted. Pretty happy with the end result!
