High Elves WIP

A few work in progress shots of the High Elves. Going to work on these some more this week, and then get ready for the new Eldar release. I'm really excited for a new book, and I really like a bunch of the new models.

Swordmasters test paint scheme

I got some High Elf models for my birthday and I'm working on my test scheme for how I want to paint them.  I'm pretty happy with how they are turning out, though there are a few things to finish/change.  I'm going to highlight the purple up to a lighter color and work on the whites a little bit.  Also need to figure out what I want to do for bases.  I kind of want to try and sculpt and cast some temple bases, but that will probably be out in the future.

Birthday loot and new game

For my birthday this year I asked for and got some Warhammer Fantasy models.  This is my first foray into the game and I'm really excited to paint some High Elves up.  At this point I don't know enough to really build an effective army, I'm just going for cool looking models at this point.  The stuff I got: 

1 - Island of Blood Starter

1 - Flamespyre Phoenix

1 - Phoenix Guard

1 - Loremaster of Hoeth

Earth Reborn

Earth Reborn

I've been getting burnout from painting all of the 40k lately and decided to do a quick mental cleanser by working on another project.  Yesterday I did a quick paint up of the Miniature from Earth Reborn a cool looking post apocalyptic board game with some nice miniatures.  Took me an evening and afternoon to finish up.  My favorite is the guy with the buzz-saw and green goo flowing into his brain.

Night Spinner WIP

Mymeara Night Spinner

Mymeara Night Spinner

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.
