Night Spinner WIP

I really enjoy painting the vehicles for this army and so after working on the Harlequins, decided to take a break and paint the Night Spinner up.  I absolutely love both the rules and look of this model.  Strength 6 large blast with rending, barrage, and causes hit units to treat next move as difficult and dangerous.  In 5th edition this was awesome as you had a 1/6 change of killing any model since no armor saves were allowed.  While not as powerful in 6th edition, the barrage rules got better and with the increase in infantry the large blast is really nice.  It's also fairly cheap for an Eldar unit at 115.

I still need to do more detail work, including the pilot and gunner, and I need to find a windshield which I couldn't find.  I'm also going to try and do a grey highlight on the black intakes to give it a little more depth.

  1. Looking good, the one thing that catches me out every time I look at the pictures is the white at the base of the night spinner weapons.

    1. That is a bit harsh. I might try painting them black.

    2. Not saying they don't work, they just stand out to me.
      They tie in with the under-carriage array.

      Maybe if the 'gems' on the black area where in white that might bring it all together...
