Eldar Alaitoc Wraithlord

Another large Alaitoc mini is finished.  This is the third time I have painted this very miniature.  I am not fully happy with how it looks, but it is serviceable I guess.  Obviously it was reposed from the standard configuration.  I figured if this is a sniper build then he should at least look a bit "sniperish".  

Next up are my 3 D-Cannon guns.  I have one pretty much finished and the other two are primed.  Maybe tonight I can put a dent into them.  I had to grab 5 Guardians to work on as well.  It just feels wrong not having three projects at my desk.  The third is a Vyper that hasn't been touched in 2 weeks. 

Eldar Alaitoc Wave Serpent

I finished my Wave Serpent last night.  It's painted in my Alaitoc theme like the rest of my Craftworld forces.  I find it getting easier and faster to do the more models I work on.  I still have two Falcons, a Fire Prism, and another Wave Serpent to work on for my tanks.  I am thinking of batch painting them all at the same time, but I want to finish my D-Cannon battery first. 

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?

Eldar Dire Avenger Exarch

I decided to paint up an Exarch for my two 10 man Dire Avenger squads.  It's a fairly straightforward scheme that is rather quick to throw together.  When I'll get around to finishing the, or even starting, the other 19 models I haven't a clue.  

The real challenge for my Dire Avengers was trying to get a clear difference between them and my Guardians.  I think I achieved enough of a difference with the greater amount of wraithbone and the red.  The red is an older style of Dire Avengers paint scheme.  For some reason they decided to go a more black and yellow accent to the blue.

Eldar Alaitoc Vyper Jetbike

I just found out a new way to strip plastic minis that don't ruin the model.  So I stripped most of my plastic Eldar stuff that looked outdated or just plain bad.  My 3 Vypers are a part of that group.  They had several layers of paint and it was nice to see them looking fresh and clean.

This is the first vehicle i've finished in my new Alaitoc scheme.  My favorite part is definitely the mottled look of the armor.  It meshes with the yellow and wraithbone rather well.  

I hope to finish my Scorpion II heavy tank sometime this week.  It is mostly done and just needs some finishing touches.

Eldar Alaitoc War Walker (new pics)

I got a new lens today, its a 50mm f1.8 from Canon.  I would have prefered the f1.4, but that's a bit too rich for my blood and realisticly I don't need that much lens for my purposes.  The new lens coupled with me getting a bit more comfortable using a DSLR have turned out a much better representation of color.  

Eldar Alaitoc Guardians

I have never been a fan of the current plastic Guardian models.  They definitely are showing their age and unfortunately because they are already in plastic GW will most likely not release a new kit anytime soon.  Added to the fact that the two squads of the plastic ones I have were already painted when I got them and the previous owner didn't bother to do the little things like different poses or mold line scraping.  I love the detail and individuality that the older metal Guardians posses.  You can field a unit of 10 models that all look distinctly different.  So far I have two and half squads worth of minis off ebay while still looking for more.  

As to the paint scheme it fits my vehicle scheme of Alaitoc.  I'm looking to update my 10 Pathfinders next.
