I'm actually tempted to get a few aspect warriors and put them in matching colours so I can run a weird Eldar space crew.

I always thought those old 'characters' were the inspiration for some of the later aspect warriors - especially Dire Avengers and Striking Scorpions will go well with those, I think  :)

Another lovely addition. I like the idea of adding a pirate crew. The eldar with the mask has always been a favorite of mine.

Another batch of pirates, and a squad of Terminators (going with a small generic Space Marine opposition force, in place of the Space Wolves).  In 2nd ed. it's pretty easy to build marine forces since they're quite expensive.





No particular chapter, just a design of my own.

This is an attempt at my version of a "White Seer".  It's something Gav Thorpe made up (I believe) in his novels, but the idea is pretty neat; a sect of Eldar psykers who are dedicated to the transport and destruction of Chaos-tainted relics/items, etc.  They're trained heavily for resisting the effects of such items, essentially serving the Black Library.  If I use her in 2nd ed. she'll simply become a Warlock Master.



(yes I know the female Dark Eldar head doesn't scale properly with the oddly huge (for an Eldar) hand...but I'll ignore it!  One of my favourite middlehammer Farseer sculpts.

Yes, they're terrible (I mean, really bad) but, why not some wonderful metal Shotgun scouts?

Shotguns in 2nd ed. 40K are pretty crap...even worse when given to BS3 scouts.  They suffer a -1 to hit over 4" (max range of 18").  Their only "benefit" is a chance to knock someone down or use the silly little 1" template.  In reality they're better off using their bolt pistols in almost every situation.  BUT...who cares.  Shotgun scouts. lol

Oh, that way - I have no recollection of any 40K rules.

More opfor for the Eldar.  My as-of-yet unnamed Space Marine chapter receives more scouts and a Chaplain.  I'm not a big fan of the Chaplain but I hate all-black paint schemes to start with.

The marines are a departure from what I was expecting when I saw that you had made another post.  If you don't have a name yet have you decided on which chapter their geneseed comes from?  Black is a hassle but it is a little easier if you come out of blue rather than gray.

Since it's a small opfor army for the Eldar I'll be using the Ultramarines codex from 2nd, so a fairly generic chapter of sorts.  Right now my folder for their pictures is simply labeled "Sand smurfs".  lol  That'll put some fear into the xenos.

Sand Smurf Apothecary...

Not enthused with this guy (wasn't my favourite choice of sculpt but it's the one I won on eBay).  My dip is slowly thickening so it's becoming harder and harder to use and I'm being stubborn about not picking up a new can.



Also, the Apothecary is a bit crap in 2nd ed., but whatever.  Jump pack like the Chaplain (which sadly uses up his only Wargear slot)
