Eldar defender warhost

 Eighteen stands of eldar guardian equals a full defender warhost. Worth 450 points in 2nd edition Epic. I gave each detachment a banner with warhost spot color (black) and detachment number on it. With these and black shouder pads one should be able to separate these stands from the eldar warhost guardians I painted earlier.

I´m getting very close to having a 3000 point eldar army completed. With a warlock, war walkers and some support guns I´m working on I should get there sooner than later. If I wanted (and had motivation) I could upgrade these to a eldar warhost by adding nine Falcon grav tanks. Remains to be seen...

A guardian host in making

 Just a quick update. I´m working on an eldar guardian host for epic. Eighteen stands of infantry. It´s quite an easy job but quite dull too. Basing, red base, white helmets, metal guns, black shouders pads  and then highlight with lighter red. As my war host infatry wears all red armor I wanted to add those black shoulder pads to show that these guardian belong to a different unit.

As you can see I´m painting a detachment of war walkers too. The guardian

detachments will have a flag each with a number of detachment on it.

And I painted a 28mm guadian too to show the small scale of epic infantry.

Epic Eldar warhost

 Most of this unit was painted a few months back but I realised that there was not enough infantry stands. So I picked up my brushes and finished the few stands needed. Red, white and gun metal washed with Agrax. Highlight with white and brighter red. Armageddon Dust technical on base.

Complete with 18 eldar guardian stands and 9 Falcon grav-tanks. The guardians are

armed with lasguns or shuriken catapults with 50cm range. They have 10cm movement, 

no saving throw, CAF 0, one attack dice and 5+ roll to hit with no save mod.

A closer look at the grav-tanks. Armed with lascannon that has 75cm range, one attack dice,

4+ roll to hit and save mod. of -2. Movement is 25cm, sacing throw 3+ and CAF +1.

Thay can also carry 2 stands of infantry and are skimmers.

Made up of 18 troop stands and 9 Falcon grav-tank an Eldar warhost is worth 850 points.

If you lose 14 models out of 27 in the host you will need to check for morale.

If broken your opponent will get 9 victory points.

Epic eldar units

 Here´s some Epic Eldar units I´ve completed. Found my 2nd edition Epic Space Marine set from my parent place the other day. It´s not complete but the rules are there. And some of the other stuff. What I need are the unit cards and rules for eldar. Anyone willing to sell theirs?

Host of Falcon grav tanks.

Detachment of Wind riders.

Guardian host.

All together.

Rules, unit cards and some eldar and orcs models still in sprues.

Small space elfs

 Needed a break from painting WFB Chaos so I dug out some epic eldar I aquired a few weeks back. We used to play 2nd ed Epic Space Marine quite a lot back in the day but it has been more than 25 years since the last battle. Then in the 90´s I had a space marine force (Blood Angels) and there are still some of those left somewhere. Yet as an opprtunity presented itself I could not help myself but buy those space elfs.

So far just a few bases of guardians, two falcon grav tanks, a dreadnought and a spirit warrior.

I think I have models for a war host of 12 guardian bases and 9 tanks.

The tiny dreadnought. Not to be painted when eyes are tired.

Those details are quite small.

Last ones before Christmas

 My painting station is located in the corner of our dining room. And my wife thinks it does not fit well with the Christmas decorations. So I´m going to have to clean it up for holidays and take a break from hobbying. Anyway, here are the three space elfs I got completed before this type of "lockdown".

The one in the middle is actually a standard bearer but the stub on his back where

the banner pole is attached to had been filed down by the models previous owner.

As that pole or actually that back bag fit that very early 90´s guardian quite well

I stuck it on his back. Will propably make a paper banner for him later.

I tried to do some thorn decoration on the body armor of that chap on the right.

Not quite happy with the result but did not want to paint it over.

Happy Holidays! See you after Christmas!

Eldar kill team?

I feel a bit confused. Lately I´ve been mostly painting RT era eldar and I´ve never been a 40k guy. I´ve had some eldar lurking around in one of the many boxes where I keep my models. And only now have I found courage to paint them. The younger me back in the days never dared to try my humble painting skills with these. Now I´m not that critical on myself anymore I actually find these a joy to paint. I don´t know if this bunch really can be called a kill team as I don´t have the game and have never played it. Anyway - here they are: all five infantry and a robot.

The whole team with it´s current members. 

From a bit different angle.

 The warlock.

A proto-guardian trooper.

Support weapon operator. Needs that support weapon. 

Captain.

I think I have models for two squads, two heavy support weapons, a dreadnought and a war Walker. That is propably a bit too much for a kill team but enough for a narrative battle of some sort. What I´m missing is a musician or two. Anyone?
