Night Spinner WIP

Mymeara Night Spinner

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.

Skimmer WIP

Posted in 40k, eldar, wip

So I pulled out all my old Eldar skimmers to repaint. One falcon needs some repair work done on it, and both Falcon turrets are need of some TLC before they get painted. The Wave Serpents all had their guns removed so that I can figure out a good way to magnetize them. I decided against stripping the paint, as I found it doesn’t come off evenly, and with thin airbrush coats the texture comes through. They are not perfect, but considering that I got them for extremely cheap second hand, I’m not going to complain.

I used all Vallejo paint at this point. White primer through the airbrush (only way to prime here in Seattle with the weather), followed by Vallejo GC Jade Green, Turquoise both thinned out with Matte Medium and a little water/flow aid. The Fire Prism crystal is painted with Vallejo Model Air Yellow, Orange, and Scarlet Red. Next step will be to varnish it and start on black lining.
