Evil Dave's Epic Eldar - Army Shots

[von Lucky]

Can 6mm sci-fi be sexy? Always.

[Jagannath]

These are a bit bloody good. Love them.

These are great. Really nice color scheme that shows off the elegant Eldar designs.

[Grimmnar]

Thanks guys.

I finished up the Farseer characters this week and started in on the Wraithguard. I'm hoping to bring a mostly painted Iyanden army to Fall In in November.

Dave, you making the tourney at Fall In?

[Evil Dave]

I am. I believe it's at 6 people atm.

Last week I managed to finish the black and gems on the Wraithguard, this week I shaded and touched up the orange and finished the highlights on half of them. The other six I hope to finish tonight or next Tuesday. It's a good thing too, twelve stands was the limit for me. I enjoyed painting these far less than six tanks.









With these done I hope to convert up some Wraithguard, start on those, and paint some subset of my objectives, Avatar and Phoenix Bombers before Fall In the first weekend of November.

[Jagannath]

These look great... Group shot! Group shot!

[Evil Dave]

Thanks Jag. I hope to get one in the coming weeks, gotta get some decals on first and a dull coat on most of it though. There's a painting comp at my FLGS in late Oct, that's a good motivation to get it done.

And they're done. The last six stands took another two hours to highlight last night. They'll be fun to play with but I'm glad they're off the table. I started converting their big brothers after that, they, the Phoenix or objectives is what I'll be working on in these next weeks.











I also hit all the tanks I've painted to date with a gloss coat. I'm looking to print some decals out for them today, getting those on is another project before Fall In.

I gussied up the Eldar this week for a local store's painting competition. I got the decals on, black boxed them in, hit these guys with a few coats of dullcote and then added some grass tufts. This is six months of work to date, minus the Void Spinners which still need their guns and the treatment above. Hoping to start and finish the Wraithlords before Fall In still.

[Suber]

Gorgeous
A true pleasure to the eye.

[von Lucky]

The force so far looks awesome. (In case you're not) you really can be proud of what you've created.

[Evil Dave]

Thanks guys. I went back and tried to color adjust the pics a little better. Still not the best match, but better.

As I was finishing up my decal/dullcote/grass que I was also working on these guys. They involved a lot of cutting, pinning, plasticard and swearing at CA glue. All twelve had their arms and legs cut off. I pinned the legs after some creative bending and repositioning, and then puttied some ball and socket joints for the arms so they could be positioned any which way. The Bright Lances mounts were squares of plasticard that got some fancy cutting and filing.



The Wraithseers were even more extensive. I used two 40k Space Marine knives a piece to create their staves and arm blades. As well as some Eldar grenades and strips of plasticard for the rest of the staves and loincloths.





This was one of my favorite conversions. I was trying to make it look like he's about to pound a vehicle or something.

[Elbows]

Superb.  This makes me actually want to play Epic. 

[Evil Dave]

Good... good... let the Epic flow through you. Also, victory!

[Elbows]

Well done, and well deserved!
