Alongside the Eladr terrain pics PeteB sent me he also had some updated shots of his Eldar and wanted to share those with you too. It's amazing to think this army has been just three months in the making!
Second post in the space of a week (hopefully!!), that's probably it for the next 5 years!
Anyway, I fancied presenting some pics of my latest and hopefully last Eldar Warhost.
The pic of
the Autarch is just for show. He isnt going to blog wars, but was made
for the last battle I had with Dave. In all took about 2 hours to
convert, paint and base.
Karandras
leads the field, with some funky new rules that combined with the
scorpions make them an absolutely lethal fighting force that can take on
just about anything, as Dave's Tervigon and Carnifex found out.
The
quartet of Fire Prism, Wraithknight (magnetised for sword or
suncannon, no dirty D here!), Fire Dragons and Dire Avengers can take and
hold the vast majority of positions against any opponents, with the Warp Spiders finishing off as a bridging unit between the quartet and
the scorps. The Rangers act as a spearhead, with their new shrouded rule
they are extremely durable as cheap obj sec units and to be honest, if
anyone is shooting at them with everything else breathing down their
neck, well........

The real star for me
is the Hemlock Wraithfighter. It is now as it should have been. Level 2
psyker with spells from Rites of Battle, Sanctic Daemonology or from the
insanely good Telepathy. To round it off 2 heavy D scythes, which
although not as good (in my humble opinion) as the previous version (no
instagib) are still extremely effective against both multi wound models
and vehicles. It is still a paper plane and will fold with massed bolter
fire, but is not well worth its points for it's buffs and offensive
capabilities.
Regarding the painting,
only fire prism and the Wraithknight are anything near finished. I
wanted an effective paint scheme that looks good for tabletop gaming,
but can be worked on further.

Get your hands off my junk! |
I really like the way his painting style looks on the fire prism. It's just really nicely done!
ReplyDeleteReally nice job there on the army, Pete. I can't believe that's your "good enough" paint job, I'd be chuffed if my army turned out like that on purpose!
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting to see how the army for blog wars has changed since the new codex came out.
