Worked on the Farseer last night and am almost done with him, a few more gems to do and figure out how to base him, since he has terrain built in already. I decided on the power weapon effects using the same purple and magenta that I use on the majority of gems in the army to tie it all together.

So I ended up having my idea for a defense line laser cut in acrylic. Here is the result. Overall I’m really pleased. A much better fit to the Eldar aesthetic. I will probably still build some sort of generator for the center of these for the force-field to be originating from, but they can be used as is for now. I did make one mistake in the design and one side of a small piece didn’t get cut, so I’m going to try and use the Dremel to free it up. Over all I’m very happy with how it turned out.

| Ranger with Snow Camo Cloak |
I did a test paint scheme on a Ranger tonight. Ended up trying 4 shades of grey and white paint to do a snow camo scheme. Pretty happy with how it turned out. I need to do some work on his backpack and gear and get some details done on the front, but it gives me template for the squad.

| Mymeara Falcon Grav Tank |
I painted up a Falcon Grav Tank for the Mymeara this weekend. I’m extremely pleased with how it turned out. I’m going to have to add more vehicles into my lists, just for how nice they look. I just hope they get better with a new codex.
I’m also really happy with the gems. There are ton of them on the model and I can do them pretty quickly now and they look decent if you don’t look to close.

| Eldar Aegis Force Field |

| Eldar Wraithbone Aegis Defense Line |
In my last game, I took and Aegis defense line with quadcannon. The 4+ cover save was extremely nice and the quad cannon was able to do some nice damage as well.
Here are a couple design ideas for creating an Eldar Aegis defense line. The top is the force-field idea. I would have it laser cut and engraved on colored plexiglas I would then build a generator out of wraithbone to go in the center.
The second would be to just cut the shape into foam board or build it with clay and then texture it and paint it up to look like wraith bone. I think both would look good, but I’m leaning toward the first option as I think it would look fantastic.

| Completed Mymeara Eldar |
After playing the game yesterday, I got a lot of compliments in the store for the paint scheme. Here is a shot of what I have painted so far. Comes out to just over 1000 points (though not particularly effective at that level), and I have a bunch more that are near completion. I also was given a good idea of using Vallejo metallic medium as a glaze on the vehicles to give a pearlescent effect. I will try and pick some up and try it out.
Michael and I played a game this afternoon. 1850 points and he ran his Tyranids while I did my Eldar with a small ally contingent of Tau. We ended up rolling Purge the Alien with diagonal deployment, which was probably the worst scenario for Michael’s Tyranids. My list had a lot of shooting while his had pretty much none. The Farseers also gave him some serious problems with psychic powers.
The main issue with my list was that it’s kind of boring to play. Cast a bunch of psychic powers and then unload shots on enemy. I’m going to have to modify a bit to get some movement back in.
The highlight unit for me was the Harlequins with Eldrad attached. They finished off two squads of Genestealers, a Tervigon and a bunch of Hormogaunts. They can cause some serious hurt with the right psychic powers and 40 rending attack on the charge is really scary for most people. I will have to eventually pick up the actual models, which scares me a little as they look like they will be really hard to paint.

Finished up Eldrad last night. I might go do a little work on the staff as I’m not completely happy with it, but it’s good enough for getting to the table to play. I might try and use the airbrush on the sword to add some detail there. Maybe get some more purple in the model.
