Eldar Alaitoc Revenant Titan

So, the pictures tell the story here.  I have finally finished my Revenant Titan.  This was easily the biggest and most difficult model I have ever worked on.  The model is very large compared to any other model I own and that combined with the complicated nature of the model made this project very time consuming and at times frustrating.

The paint scheme is my standard Alaitoc technique with some tweaks.  The most noticeable is the wraithbone.  Instead of just washing the bone and doing some highlights, I went for a drybrush over the wash.  The sheer size of the wraithbone pieces necessitated this choice.  I also chose to paint the gems on the wraithbone instead of just integrating it into the model.  I felt a model like this deserved as much effort as possible.  Another new aspect used here is the checkered side panels over the legs.  I thought about doing them in yellow, but decided for a more eye catching option.

As for what's up next, I am not sure.  I still have a lot of Eldar foot models and have actually started to base a few Guardian Defenders.  

Eldar Shadow Spectre Exarch

I got this Exarch and a 5 man squad awhile ago, but just now finishing up the Exarch.  Really, the biggest hurdle was dealing with the model itself to prepare it for painting.  Working with resin has it's upsides and downsides.  Now that the model is finished it's really nice.  Especially when you consider that this model would be almost unusable if it were done in metal.  You really have to keep that in mind when dealing with the warping and flash removal.  I also chose not to add all the extra streamers to this model.  I honestly just do not like them.  I might add some here and there for the standard squadies, but that's further down the road seeing as I have zero plans on every actually running these in a game.

I kinda feel that the wraithbone overshadows the paint job, but I also feel the contrast between it and the white/blue armor is nice.  The cloth hanging down I feel came out real well and provides another color contrast.

Work Table Wednesday

Got these guys in the mail today.  Fairly straightforward assembly so far.  Cleaning all the flash is really the hardest part.

I am around 98% finished with my Wraithknight at this point.  One really good session and he's ready for the camera.

My Titan is really lagging behind at this point though.  I really just need to bite the bullet and make a base for it.  I feel things will go faster once that happens.  At this stage though he only has one leg attached.

Alaitoc Army Update

I have not posted much, none actually, this month.  There is a reason for this.  I haven't really been painting that much, let alone finishing much.  I did manage to finish up my third out of four Wave Serpents.  I got in the mail some more Warp Spiders, but I hate the model so much I am having trouble working on them.  I have 9 total now, but I can't seem to find a scheme that doesn't make them look like crap.  Some models are so old and bad paint alone cannot salvage them.  It's a shame really.  The unit is so good.

The pics are of my display cases.  It helps put the entire army in perspective as to what's done.  

On the table I have the aforementioned Warp Spiders, Storm Guardians, Guardian Crewmen, and Rangers.  I honestly cannot get excited about any of them.  That titan needs to show up soon. 

Eldar Alaitoc Scorpion Type II Super Heavy Grav Tank

This guy took a good amount of time to finish.  I actually started the model before my Vyper I posted a number of weeks back.  With this being my first Forge World model, I really wanted it to look solid.  This was the test bed for my Alaitoc scheme.  You should have seen the hideous paint job the guy I bought it from on eBay did to it.  Why would someone pay so much money for a Forge World model to paint it like shit?
