Eldar Warhost

Mymeara Warhost

So this my army I'm taking to play a game with a friend tomorrow.  I'm trying a few new things from last game.  Mostly putting the troops into Wave Serpents to see if I can get them to last beyond the first turn.  Also dropped the War Walkers to fit a Night Spinner and a unit of 5 Wraithguard with D-Scythes in a Wave Serpent.  This is going to be my, don't get anywhere near me or you die unit.  I'm also playing the guardians as Dire Avengers to give me that extra bit of range, and the better 4+ save.

Here's the list below:

1850
HQ: Farseer - Spirit Stone, Jetbike
Troop: 10x Dire Avengers - Wave Serpent - Scatter Lasers - Cannon
Troop: 10x Dire Avengers - Wave Serpent - Scatter Lasers - Cannon
Troop: 5x Rangers
Troop: 3x Jetbikes - Cannon
Elite: 5x Wraithguard - D-Scythes - Wave Serpent - Scatter Lasers - Cannon
Fast: Crimson Hunter - Exarch - Star Cannons
Heavy: Fire Prism - Cannon
Heavy: Night Spinner - Cannon
Heavy: Wraithknight - Suncannon - Scatter Laser

Finished Wave Serpents

Two Eldar Mymeara Wave Serpents

I finished up two more Wave Serpents last night.  I did a little conversion to side mount the turret weapons rather than have one on each side.  They are also magnetized to switch out and I will make more of the options in the future.  This gives me three painted Wave Serpents in total and I would like to convert one of my Falcon hulls as well as the Wave Serpents are really good in the new codex.

Finished Hemlock Wraithfighter

I finished up the Wraithfighter and I just love how it turned out.  I can't wait to paint the rest of the new models now.  I don't know how well they were perform, but this is my favorite looking model in the army now.

So I picked some new Eldar stuff up yesterday. The models I'm most excited about are the two flyers. I'm going to build one of each for now and see if it's worth picking up a second of either later on. Still not done with all the detail work, but it's coming along wonderfully.  An excellent kit and I can't wait to build the Crimson Hunter as well.

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.

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.

Harlequins

Harlequin Troop

I decided to do the Harlequins in the Mymeara colors rather than in the traditional patterns.  Mostly because I don't think I'm good enough of a painter to do the patterns, but also to let the army have a cohesive look.  I did use a lot of red and purple to have them stand out.

100th Post - Two Painted Armies

Too celebrate my 100th post on the blog, I figured I would get both of my armies out on the table I built and get some pictures. This is less than two years worth of painting. I'm really proud of what I've accomplished and it's great to have a couple decently painted armies. I still have a lot of Eldar to finish, and have a bunch of detail work left on the Lamenters, but I'm pleased with my progress.

 

Mymeara army so far

Mymeara Eldar Army

I have about 1700 points painted up.  I do need to finish up some bases and a few details but it's really coming together.  I have a few thousand points more to paint, but this is a nice core.

Aegis Defense Line for Lamenters

Lamenters Behind Aegis Line

I haven't forgotten the Lamenters.  Here is an Aegis Defense Line with Quadcannon upgrade on the ice board.  Painted up really quick and easy.  Not sure how much I'll ever use it with them, as I like to play them fast moving and have very little shooting.

Completed Rangers

Falcon Grav Tank

Mymeara Falcon Grav Tank

I painted up a Falcon Grav Tank for the Mymeara this weekend.  I'm extremely pleased with how it turned out.  I'm going to have to add more vehicles into my lists, just for how nice they look.  I just hope they get better with a new codex.

I'm also really happy with the gems.  There are ton of them on the model and I can do them pretty quickly now and they look decent if you don't look to close.

Eldrad

Finished up Eldrad last night.  I might go do a little work on the staff as I'm not completely happy with it, but it's good enough for getting to the table to play.  I might try and use the airbrush on the sword to add some detail there.  Maybe get some more purple in the model.

Death Company with Jump Packs

Finished up the jump packs for the first five death company.  Really happy with how they turned out.  Will offer a nice contrast to the yellow of the rest of the army.  Still need to finish up the should pads and paint up normal backpacks to have them completely finished.

Brother Chamuel - Lamenters Sternguard Deathwatch

My finished entry for the Sternguard Deathwatch contest.  Really happy with how he turned out, especially the kit-bashed combi-melta.  While I have no delusions of winning it was a fun project to work on and I can't wait to see the squad together.

An Unkindness of Stormravens

Finished up my second Stormraven.  Though not without some issues.  The major problem was me carrying it downstairs to photograph with it still on the flight stand and having it fall down a flight of stairs and smash into a bunch of pieces!  Luckily I used super-glue to attach the wings on and they snapped off where they should have.  Some dings and dents, but I just like to think of it as battle damage.

Allies Incoming - Tau Hammerhead

My first Tau model is finished up and ready to ally with the Eldar.  Really excited with how it turned out and love the Mymeara color scheme on these guys.  I'm getting better at doing the black-lining.  My process now is to gloss varnish the model and then use a heavy black wash in the crevices.  You can wipe off any over-spillage with a wet paper towel and it flows into the cracks nicely.  After it dries I apply a matte varnish spray to take the shininess away.  Can't wait to see more of the Eldar and Tau models in the color scheme.
