When I said I was interested in the new Eldar, I was given some figures. A Farseer (metal) 3 Warlocks (metal, but not going to use them). A box of plastic Dire Avengers (10 in a box! not 5 like the new sets). Some plastic guardians (not using as they've been butchered with glue) and a built plastic Falcon ( bit messy, but workable).

This week I've been painting up the Farseer and the Ranger squad. I trimmed the fin off the back of the Farseer's Helm. I think they look better without.




To do the blades I started with a white base, over which a used a watered down Scorpion Green. I then selective used Thraka Green wash to make parts o the blade...

Nearly complete, both Primarch Angron and his Terminator Bodyguard

Angron


Big Thank you to James for building the Chainblade for Angrons God Tearer 2 handed weapon

With Posse

Recently my Necron player and opponent gave up the game for good. That's the bad news.
But he gave me his Necron Army. That's the good news.
But the necrons were mostly unprimed, not painted at all, and needed to have some parts added to them, specifically the ends of the warriors gauss weaponns.

So I finished the construction, primed them black, and then gave them a 'quick and dirty' drybrush of Vallejo Hammered Copper.
Here's how they came out so far.

So assembling Dwarf King's Hold is part of my Q2 Hobby Challenge

Just finished the 10 Revenants (Armoured Skeletons) for the game as well. There's also a Pit of Souls (used in the game) and a Pile of Bones (you get counters for these, but if you had enough Mantic skellies, as I do with a 1k army, you could use "actual" piles), and a Skeleton Rat (used in Kings of War).



6 of the models on the sprue are sculpted Revenants, the other 4 are Skeleton Torsos with blinged up heads and armour pieces to be stuck on (which works fine IMO).

They were nice models to put together:
- mould lines have been run...
