Wraithlord's Eldar Log

Hey guys, Ive been painting really slowly recently so I put up this log to help me reach my goal of having a fully painted 1500 point force. But for now im aiming to come to PnS next week with a fully painted 750 point army that has some new units ive never used before, and this is the list im bringing:

 Farseer - 95                                                                                                                                                                                                                          (Doom, Warding)

 

5x Harlequins                                                                                                                                                                                                                    (shadowseer, 2x Fuision pistols)

 

10x Dire Avengers                                                                                                                                                                                                                 (Exarch, bladestorm, twin cats)

Waveserpent                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  (Bright lance)

 

5x Rangers 

Fire prism 

 

Anyways here's what I got so far:

Farseer Q'sandria

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dire Avengers

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Waveserpent

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Harlequin test models, what do you think?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Experimenting with the fire prism chasis, any good?

It is looking great!
1. Quick couple ideas...put Badab Black wash on those vases to tone down the sand then dry brush lightly with Deneb Stone.
2. Do that Fire Prism Thing to all the Vehicles it looks very cool.
3. Add a bit more bright color to Harli's but not to much they are extreme remember .
4. Keep going! This is the perfect next 6 weeks it called Escalation for just this reason!

Great lookig farseer there.

cool vehicle design, im not sure if its the camera angle but it looks a little wobbly? i would suggest maybe a combo of the to paint schemes for you vehicles. have the big epic logo on it but where its just black still have the blue in the cracks.

and i agree with Kangor more colour on the harlequins, add some more reds pinks and and checkers always look good on them. if your struggling look at photos of clowns on the internet.

 I've tried doing the checkers on the clowns but it was really difficult so im doing a squigily design with the blue, which looks decent and suits the rest of my army.

tnx man! courtesy of the Blood God LOL

removed all the markings except for the hatch....

btw i actually fancy the blue inks on the recesses...reminds me of "automan" an old sci-fi flick. it makes the black more "digitized" IMO

No Time! Must Paint!

Here's the shadowseer model. Im doing the metalics on the clowns later cause im planing to do it with out any metalic paints.

Ill get the tanks finished tonight, not sure if there's enough time for the rangers, ill have to see.

Im aiming to keep a cool colour scheme with the clowns to keep it matching the rest of my army. so Blues, Greens, purples, I used some yellow but thats all im going to use from the warm colours.

swarmlord
swarmlord's picture

in that case i would use grey,black,white,purple,pink and blue for the clowns. yellow is just..off

Yellow is quite off but you could use something close to that.

Wraithlord

The yellow i use is minimum (apart from the shadowseer) but I'll test a model with the colours you suggested and see how it goes.

yellow and green combi reminds me of Link (Zelda) lol

though your color scheme gives the harlequins a more sinister look IMHO yellow is not bad for a contrast i think .... juz try to use them at minimal or in a non - prominent area. swarmlords suggestion would look nice too i guess

I haven't been to PnS in the past two weeks, because of Eid and because of getting sick the week after so there goes my chances of being a vanguard. but at least I got some painting done, oh and also im looking to playtest my 1250 point list so if anyone is interested feel free to PM me.

I got the main colours on two grav tanks:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And a squad of Fire Dragons:

(some of the models are scratched due to an unfortunate accident but thats been taken care of)

lookin good on your army's progress man and qul antum bi khair happy eid man! better late than never ^_^x guess you're still on, i mean on the vanguard race.... not quite sure if Kangor had chosen already but if he does, surely it would've been posted already

if you're fully recovered and wanna go extreme... you're most welcome to playtest with us in abu dhabi - and as a bonus, if you let him....Kangor might tag along LOL

Thx Nameflow, I'd love to come but right now the army list is at a wobbly state so id like to do some play testing here before I go over to AD, how long a drive would it be from Bur dubai or PnS or whatever your familiar with?

nameflow
nameflow's picture

not quite sure.... depending on how fast you drive LOL

1 - 1.5 hrs i guess, but if you're driving a Ferrari Enzo (ignoring speed limits) it would be juz like 30 mins max. ^_^x

Those are glorious vehicles, it makes me want to start an eldar army all over again(i get to many random ideas).

If trevor dis allows you from anguard coz of religion thats abit discimitive so i think he'll let it slide.

Happy Eid!(i know theres a proper way to say it but im afraid i dont know it, sorry) tell you what, even if your army doesnt beat your opponent those models are gonna leave a lasting impression on him.

Yet another week I won't be able to make it to PnS, cause im going to Oxford for a school trip, but atleast I got two good games against Swarmlord & Shihab this week. this just means I have to double my painting efforts next week. 

I got my whole army WYSIWYG, and magnitized my Fire Prism/ Nightspinner turrent:

Yeah it was a close game. it sucks that i forgot to use my rune priests psychic block against your farseer, would have saved me a whole lot of wounds. And was really unlucky that I lost my 15 man blood claw squad when they ran of the board thanks to you tank shocking me.

Anyway have a nice time on your trip.

Ok, as I started my Eldar army I can now comment on this :)

Take only one power on your Farseer, unless you take stones to cast 2 powers a turn.
I would recommend keeping Doom only. (20 pts spared)

Your FD squad is perfectly fitted, so is their Wave Serpent.

Those harlequins should be Banshees, only due to not being in a transport. The troupe Master is needed only if you take the Power Weapon, otherwise just give kiss to a regular boy. (16 pts spared)

Those DA squads should be reduced to 5 guys each, and remove the Exarch. The Exarch is useful when you have 10 of them, where his power will affect the game greatly (and so is less costly per model). Here you are making an objective-capping squad very expensive, nothing else. So remove the Exarch and his blade storm. Go for 5 men in each squad OR 10 men in each, in-between is a always a loss.
One additional Weapon is enough on the DA's serpents, any more and you are again increasing their juiciness to get killed. Remove the cannon in this case, the EML is just sweet. You DO however need spirit stones. (86 pts spared if you take the spirit stones).

The falcon is very very expensive in that form, so is any falcon because we tend to take Holofields. Now is that weapon platform (Pulse Laser) really worth those points? specially at BS3? I'd say replace it with a simple Fire Prism+spirit stones. It would save you tons of points (50 pts). But it's a matter of preference and the Falcon is a very valid option (try to keep it cheap if possible).

Now what to do with all those points we shaved off? (172 pts). Well that's another squad of DA+Wave Serpent (yay!)

Remember that the minute we get out of our transports, we're KFC :)

next time you wont be so lucky and I'll be in it to win it

Whislt I have little idea about this army having never played against it, as an opponent I would take out the two small troop squads making it hard for you to win,  to me that looks like a large weakness.

I imagine the firepower of the other units is pretty impressive though.
