Eldar dogs of war

[randycarter]

My first post on LAF, so a bit of excitement 

I'd like to share some pics of one of my ongoing projects: a small force of eldar based on a dogs-of-war theme. So no aspect warriors, no craftworld bright colour schemes: just a fistful of rude irregulars mercs. All with a few minis waiting for a paintjob since years - and with just a few time available for hobby.

First of all a group of guardians/soldiers of fortune.



A close up of the support weapon team



A group of hardened irregular scouts



And another shot for the lady-with-machete and his henchmen



Thank you all for reading.

Well hello and welcome!

Your painting is lovely!  Nice face detail, muted colours and you're great with the edge highlighting.

Not a complaint, but I would use a piece of guitar string for the wire that connects the powerpack and cannon.  It's a lot finer than the electrical wire (?) you've used.  

But of course they're your models!  That splash of colour really makes the group photo sing!

Ah, back when Eldar were mercs 

Great stuff 

cheers

Not sure about the bows and arrows, but the modelling and painting is very nice; great work!

Hi,
thanks everybody for the nice comments!

Thank you Momotaro, this is a great suggestion: will be good for the second guardian squad (one of my game mates plays just guitar  )

Not sure about the bows and arrows, but the modelling and painting is very nice; great work!

You're right warburton, maybe bows and harrows are a bit osé: but the idea of a Rambo-Boba Fett-scout eldar was too fun to let it go! 

Thank you again: some more model - I hope - soon.

I like those alot, the vibe and execution. Very tidy painting

I very much like the idea of the small merc warband - and the floaty weapon, and the bows too. 
Now I'm tempted to make a similar force, in red and black....

[Dr DeAth]

Nice work - like the white/green/orange/yellow colour scheme

[Major_Gilbear]

Very nice - been a long while since I saw Eldar like that.

I hope that you're planning to expand them? Holo/energy shields, electro whips, winged jump packs, etc., would all look great with a force like this.

[Suber]

Wow, some truly original work, I love it!!

[Major_Gilbear]

Edit: double-post, sorry!

[randycarter]

Thanks again to everybody!

Now I'm tempted to make a similar force, in red and black....

@Vanvlak: colours of anachy! I choosed grey tones to give 'em a sort of paramilitary look: maybe red and black will remember a bit Shaim An. But of course it will depend a lot from your execution 

I hope that you're planning to expand them? Holo/energy shields, electro whips, winged jump packs, etc., would all look great with a force like this.

Hi Major: yes, I will expand them (I and my mates play 750-1000 pt. armies). All your ideas are great, I will mind 'em (winged jump packs  )

[Mason]

Brilliant ideas.
I love that support weapon and think the bows are a nice touch.

If you'd like to incorporate some colour or pattern, but don't want to spoil the clean military look, you might try painting some simple pencil stripes - look for pictures of Mass Effect suits of armour for some really good examples.
