The Commander Series Forum

I thought that you folks might get a charge out of seeing what I am doing with my old Eldar stuff. These figs have been in a tackle-box for 15 years, only just saw the light of day a couple of weeks ago when Josh invited me to play FWC.

[b]Work in Progress[/b] pics - fixing crappy, 20-year old paint jobs and putting them on new bases (30 x 40mm):





Please feel free to share any comments!

Lovely work

Nowt wrong with them, and that basing is cracking

Beautiful work! Love the basing, and the whole setup looks terrific!

Very cool. . The grav tank in the foreground looks stunning. I've never managed to get results like that when I've tried to use yellow.

Back in '93 or '94 I bought a bunch of yellow Falcons from a guy at the FLGS and the other day I mounted this one on a Green Stuff Flight Stand and went at it to try to clean up the garbage paint job that had been done on it. I added some yellow-orange wash and then started highlighting raised areas with a new 2/0 brush.

I am glad you like it, it turned out better than I expected.

It's funny how disappointing a bad paint job can be - changes your whole view of a model and makes you want to get rid of it. But a good paint job will make it tremendous, a real treasure. Just such a fine line.

Some more WIP pics

On Monday I managed to get the last of the tanks based, and most of the bases primed in green. Today I am going to work on the flocking. It's more fun when you aren't trying to do 80-some stands at the same time...

I find basing huge amounts a chore sometimes, but it really does add to the mini's!

Good stuff, hope they don't run into pesky ambushes

Here is a shot of all of the painted and based models, there are 5 gunships, 4 tanks and 2 infantry stands left to paint!!



(forgive the quality, I took this with my phone because I was excited to get it up here... I'll have 7mp pics of the army and close-ups shortly)

Do I see shell craters on those bases? Looking forward to the close ups!

That is indeed a shell crater!



Here are a couple more:

That's a mighty host indeed, and if good uniforms win battles you're a shoe in for taking New Eire

I got to play against them last night. Best looking Eldar that ever got run off a battlefield.

They are great looking. The basing is excellent.

note to self: be sure to assemble task force AFTER the scenario objectives have been set...and spend a little time thinking about them!

Whoops... never bring a knife to a hover tank fight?

Do I see you've hit the giddy heights of fame on Facebook via Litko?!

You forgot the in-

Here are a couple of shots featuring my new Eldritch Supreme Commander and a squadron of "Locust" Assault Tanks









C&C welcome

and some more goodies, completed today:

Strike Fighters



Super-heavy Grav Tanks



Shield Dome Generator (Converted/scratch-built using parts from 28mm & 6mm pieces and plastic stock)



'Grasshopper' Assault Gunships

Those super heavies are nasty.

They'd look really good crushed under the might that is the Kraytonian Pink Menace

I love those "Grasshoppers"! Where are they from? ANd that converted shield dome vehicle is nice


Well, actually, they're all nice

Love the Grasshoppers, too.I think I have a use for them in 3mm. What are they?
