Up and Coming

I've been in California this last week and so haven't been able to do any modeling or painting.

Though it's been Christmas and I've been hanging out with family and that's just fine.

However, I thought I'd let you know what's coming up in the future for this blog:

I'm adding a second squad of Dire Avengers to my Eldar
A squad of Dark Reapers are going in there as well
Will be finishing up my last War Walker
Going to making a Counts-As Eldrad from the Island of Blood HE Mage

and finally...

WRAITHGUARD! But made from Necron Immortals! The Wraithguard means that I'll also have to paint up my other Warlock as a Spiritseer for them. But I'm okay with that.

I haven't decided yet if I'm going to be painting the other 10 Guardian Defenders I have as Guardians or if I'm going to try converting them into Swooping Hawks and Warp Spiders. I may even try some Striking Scorpions!

I have a few other conversions and kit bashes planned as well. Still no word on my Warp Hunter though :(

Lamenters

Just a quick peak at my newest project: Blood Angels successor chapter Lamenters

I've got ALMOST 1000 pts worth.

1x 10 man Tactical Squad with Melta and Missile Launcher
        Mounted in Rhino
1x Assault Squad
1x Death Company Squad
1x Librarian
1x Sanguinary Priest
1x Sanguinary Guard Squad

I have a couple of Chaplain, Dante, a Captain, and another unit of Sanguinary Guard, but I figure I should fielding Dante if I'm using more than one unit of those fellas.

I'm using these guys to kind of flex my modelling skills. I probably won't do much converting on the first tactical squad, as I need to get back in the habit of BUILDING Space Marines first. But the following squads will open to whatever I want to try.

NEW STUFF! Yay!

I promised pictures, and I shall deliver. If a man isn't as good as his word, them what good is he?

First off, a couple of Reaper figs that I painted up for my group.

First up is Aric. He's an anit-paladin in our campaign.

Then is a dwarf ranger that I painted up to be my PC in the game.

Now on to the ELDAR!! 

Warlock

This is the Warlock that is currently attached to my Guardian Defender squad.

Fire Dragons

I'll hopefully get to see how these guys perform in combat tomorrow night at Dragon's Keep.

Dire Avengers

These are the new ones that I added to fill out my squad to 10 and replace the Exarch with one that can do some damage.

War Walkers

I added two to my 750 pt list for some heavy fire power. The weapons are magnetized, so they aren't on the walkers in these pictures.

Guardian Jetbikes

I converted one to have a Shuriken Catapult heavy weapon. 

Next up for the Eldar, a Falcon, another Warlock, and the third War Walker. 

I've got more pictures coming in the near future. I promise. I just finished painting up my Fire Dragons, 2 War Walkers, a Warlock, and 6 Dire Avengers.

I've just primed my first Falcon.

BUT! I wanted to make a post to tell you all about something I've found that, if it pans out, will be AMAZING!

So I was looking for Warp Hunter conversion guides, there are some good ones out there, and I found some place selling the Forge World conversion kit for ... get this ... $30. I figured, even if it's JUST the resin conversion kit, that's a good deal. However, the description says that it's the full kit with the Fire Prism kit and the resin conversion pieces. So I ordered one. If it turns out to be legit, then I'll post up their name here so any of my fellow Eldar players can rock Warp Hunters :)

Also, that's not my Warp Hunter

Binge and Splurge

So I've been on a bit of a buying spree lately and I thought I'd let any of my viewers out there know what's coming.

1: LOTS of Eldar

I've got 3 Warwalkers, 2 Wave Serpents, 2 Falcons, 10 Guardians, 10 Dire Avengers, 7 Fire Dragons, 2 Jet Bikes, and 2 Warlocks waiting to go.

2: Lamenters

I've decided I must have a Space Marine chapter. I've decided to play Lamenters with a Blood Angel codex and see where it goes from there. If the next BA codex sucks, then I'll switch them over to vanilla marines. Shouldn't be too big a change.

I may have accidentally ruined my base molds for my Eldar, which means I either have to make new molds (more likely) or start making all my bases by hand again (not likely). Plus, I could probably use the practice.
