A few work in progress shots of the High Elves. Going to work on these some more this week, and then get ready for the new Eldar release. I’m really excited for a new book, and I really like a bunch of the new models.

I really enjoy painting the vehicles for this army and so after working on the Harlequins, decided to take a break and paint the Night Spinner up. I absolutely love both the rules and look of this model. Strength 6 large blast with rending, barrage, and causes hit units to treat next move as difficult and dangerous. In 5th edition this was awesome as you had a 1/6 change of killing any model since no armor saves were allowed. While not as powerful in 6th edition, the barrage rules got better and with the increase in infantry the large blast is really nice. It’s also fairly cheap for an Eldar unit at 115.
I still need to do more detail work, including the pilot and gunner, and I need to find a windshield which I couldn’t find. I’m also going to try and do a grey highlight on the black intakes to give it a little more depth.

Too celebrate my 100th post on the blog, I figured I would get both of my armies out on the table I built and get some pictures. This is less than two years worth of painting. I’m really proud of what I’ve accomplished and it’s great to have a couple decently painted armies. I still have a lot of Eldar to finish, and have a bunch of detail work left on the Lamenters, but I’m pleased with my progress.
Was out of town this weekend but was able to finish up two Crisis Suits I started a while ago. They were actually very simple to paint up and look pretty good. I also got a Pegasus Hobbies Technobridge and sprayed it last night. Not sure if I will do more to it, as it looks pretty good as is. Nice inexpensive piece of terrain which will work great for the large river running through the middle of my table.

I picked up a Riptide over the weekend and manged to get most of it done. Still need to go in a do all the lenses with purple, and I might add some more black and white on the body to provide some contrast, but I’m really happy with how it’s turning out. I’ve magnetized the weapons so that I can take either of the main weapons or secondary weapons. Still need to do the little support system bits that come with the kit which will also be magnetized. The kit is great and it was a lot of fun to build.
