Scouts and Scorpions

 I have been quite busy with work and haven´t had much mojo for hobby activities. Despite that I´ve slammed some paint on few bases of Epic eldar to keep something going.

On the left are four bases of eldar scouts. Painted in the same pattern as my guardians but wearing a desert yellow camo cloak on their back. Strinking scorpions were given typical green armour but I chose to paint their helmets white to have some unifying element with the rest of the force. I think I´ll follow the same system for the rest of the aspect warriors I´ll paint in the future.

A couple of support units and a warlock

 These three little (pun intended) additions will take my epic eldar army to 2900 points. And I could finish those vibro cannons in perhaps 30 mins if I wanted to and have a 3000 point strong army ready. But I´m at the same time working on some genestealers so it may take a while. On the other hand I scored some aspects warriors and other stuff I was missing so I´ll eventually take this project to somewhere around 4000-5000 points I think.

A warlock with two guardian bodyguards and a banner. Plus three las cannons.

Same guys from a bit different angle.

Squadron of three warwalker. I like this model a lot more than the newer egg shaped thingie.

Using up one special card and two detechment card slots. But I have three hosts

and having enough special/detachment cards should not be an issue.

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 spirit host

 As mentioned ia an earlier posting I´m working on a small 2nd edition Epic eldar force along side with other hobby projects. Today I finished a spirit host for that army. A spirit host consists of a warlock, four bases of wraithguard and two squads of dreadnoughts with for dreads in each.

Eldar Phantom titan

 A friend of mine and me are planning on playing some 2nd edition Epic late this summer. He has a largeish squat force he´s had since 90´s and I´m slowly building an eldar army for the battle. I needed a center piece and what better to serve in that role than a Phantom titan.

White and red themed as all my eldar are.

Painted some vines climbing up the right side of the titan. This side

showing a power fist and a shoulder mounted las cannon.

Left side clear white with red shouder pad and weapon parts. The weapons are a tremor cannon

and a shoulder mounted missile launcher.

Epic eldar walkers

 My focus has been on expanding the high elf baggage train but I´ve managed to slap some paint on other things too. Here are some epic eldar dreadnoughts and a towering destroyer knight I finished the other day.

The middle one is in it´s original pose. The other two had their

limbs and las cannon slightly repositioned for more dynamic look.

Towering destroyer knight. Added a barrel to his right lower limb as I never understood what that stubby thing was supposed to be.

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.
