Greetings Terrans, I’ve hit a bit of a milestone on my Eldar project that I am happy to share with you today – I have completed the last of my original Eldar miniature pile! As such, this will be the last post on this subject for a while. The model in question is one of the OG Warlock figures, (‘Warlock 2’ to be precise), albeit with some weapon swaps to replace parts that had been chopped off in the dim and distant past. I also painted a companion Gyrinx – I think from the second Colony 87 Kickstarter from 2016… Seemed appropriate for the Warlock to have a psychically attuned companion :-)

Enjoy:

Painting was a very pleasant affair – I love working with dark green, and the rest of the Warlock was handled with Craftworld purple & yellow, combined with bone. The Gyrinx was fun – a nice easy wash & drybrush approach, again, using Craftworld colours. I’m pretty pleased with the tiger stripe pattern!

Anyway, that’s all on this for now – I have picked up a few more minis to round out squads and generally add to the force, but I’ll be taking a break from this army for a while & instead focus in on my Imperial Guard project to reproduce the Mordion 7th, D Company on the cheap – starting with 1st Platoon (Tactical)… More to follow on that soon.

Greetings Terrans, it has been a while! My apologies for that – it has been a very busy time over the last few weeks, and most of my limited hobby time has been spent chipping away at some boring bits for my Mordion project. However, I have managed to get a bit of painting done for my Eldar project – a trio of Exarchs!

First up, a Swooping Hawk Exarch, tentatively named ‘The Furious Dawn’:

And here he is with his, erm… flock(?!)

Next up actually is one of my favourite minis of all time – the classic Fire Dragon Exarch – ‘The Burning Day’:

And here he is with his fellow dragons:

Finally, an Exarch made from a converted Dark Reaper – ‘The Twilight Storm’:

And here he is with his fellow Reapers:

And here’s a final shot of the three – Dawn, Day and Twilight:

That’s all for now folks – I’m aiming to have one final addition to this project this week before putting the Eldar on hold for a while.

Greetings Terrans, I hope you are well. It has been a slow couple of weeks on this project – busy weekends mostly taking up any paint time, but I managed to do a bit here & there to get the last of the 6 OG Aspect Warriors finished – the mighty Fire Dragons:

I’m quite happy with these guys – Orange isn’t a super easy colour to work with, but they came out pretty much ok I think. The yellow works well with the general flame vibe, while the purple & bone help to add some contrast, as do the green gems. All in all, a satisfying finish to my Aspect Warriors.

As this completes the set, I can finally put an example of all six together – something I have been wanting to do since I was seventeen! This photo has been a long time coming :-)

Taste the Rainbow!

So that’s all for now folks, and I just have a few character models undercoated and ready to complete for this project – 3 Exarchs and a Warlock! Lovely :-)
