The Eldar Army That Needs a Lot of Love part 1

by | Mar 4, 2015

Here's an army from my brother Bryan.

The box of eldar minus a few boxes of wraithguard and foregworld avatar.


JJ assembling, this is an Eldar army commission for Bryan.  He picked up these guys from a trade.  Planned on using them as a ghost army, however his plans have changed.  He came up with this plan for me to assemble and paint them and he sells them and split the cash 50/50.  Not a bad idea.

Have to admit these have been at my place for sometime.  Good news is that he moved into the apartment above me, which is awesome.  Like having a roommate without having a roommate.  It has been quite difficult to dive into this project.  Several models are broken and in poor condition.  Finally broke through and started to make a dent in assembling before giving them a genuine three colour treatment.  Bryan's idea is simple three colours, that's it, and really basic and sell them.  Like it.  Plan to have black as the basecoat then blue zenithal lighting and white weapons.  That's it, no other colours.




Man I feel sorry for this guy.

Banshees and harlequins

Several fire prisms and falcons.

Bryan mentioned several of the models are pretty bad and will need pinning.  He added that he couldn't pin to save his life.  This bit broke off from Howling Banshee Exarch.  Look at that?  No breaks at all.  Clean drilling.

Here they are slowly taking over the table.  Usually I'd paint them squad by squad, considering the paint scheme this made more sense.

Various weapons that haven't found a home yet.

Poor wraithknight.  Those warwalkers were really difficult to put back together.  Used up quite a bit of my superglue.



Saving the sprues for myself later.  Sort of a reward after repairing the damaged models.

Few more bags to go through before I'll have an idea what I'm looking at.
