Nice work, mate.
Eldar bands make great protagonists for I'Munda and I look forward to seeing the rest.

I was never sold on the odd Rogue Trader Eldar tiger striped patterns, I sure enjoy them now though. Good work!
a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve, and caprice.

Funny how tastes change over time. I never used to like Bob Olley sculpts, now I'm rather partial to them!

For my latest figure, I'll introduce Henig Drosk - a new character for the forthcoming Inquisimunda campaign. He represents an undercover guise for my disgraced Inquisitor (and will be accompanying the Eldar Corsairs).





He's converted from 3 components (head/torso/legs):

Wow! That is a nice conversion, it looks quite seamless and produces a quite evocative looking character.
Great painting too.

Here's a couple of recent products of the painting table. First up is an Eldar d-cannon and single crewman painted last week to round out the warband I'm using for my Inquisimunda campaign:



And the full warband:



Secondly, I've converted a figure of a senior Astropath - Mother Cantor Mechthild, from a Wargames Foundry Bride of Frankenstein:



I made the Mother Cantor as my entry to a competition for the Ammobunker Inq28 forums, themed around 'First among equals'.

Mother Cantor Mechthild and her choristers:


There's more info on the conversion over at my blog.

This is a thread that just keep on giving. That is some seriously awesome painting with a really cool oldschool vibe.

Thanks everyone - it's great to hear that you like them.

Bene Gesserit is pretty much the touchstone for female psyker types I think - there's something about an otherworldly female order that presses lots of scifi buttons :)

I wanted to add a scout type to my Eldar warband, at the same time tying it to the classic Space Elf style.

Here's the result, created from the top half of a Space Elf and the bottom half of an Eldar scout. I adapted a kimono pattern into an approximation at 28mm scale, which I think worked out OK.
