Title: Epic Eldar
Post by: Duke Speedy of Leighton on 21 January 2017, 01:38:53 PM
Bought off the estate of a recently departed friend of a friend's friend. The condition was to update and do the figures justice, then keep them being used.

They were moving so fast, I couldn't keep up!

These match his original paint scheme. Just, better, and remounted, and converted, and...

Cool.

Which are those, then? The Wild Riders of Siam Han?

I can always remember the Alaitoc Craft World colours, as they featured in a battle report for EPIC Space Marine (when I remember the correct name used in 1993) in the very first White Dwarf magazine I ever read / bought (WD 160). Can't remember the other Craft Worlds though.

Swim-Hann, only 150 jet bikes in the batch I bought!  Jet bike themed army became a necessity! ;D

During the present unplesentness, I decided to start my second ! Eldar force, Ilyandan Craftword.

And there is only one reason for this entire force - THIS!
(https://i.imgur.com/3IrPgNT.jpg)

Love Eldar titans
(https://i.imgur.com/55tPRpX.jpg)

There are actually 2 6mm infantry on the bases too!
(https://i.imgur.com/8DAjETx.jpg)

Wraithlords/dreadnaughts
(https://i.imgur.com/BxCiTCN.jpg)

(https://i.imgur.com/mMgSLCp.jpg)

Warwalkers - insane idea!
(https://i.imgur.com/d7O88LU.jpg)

(https://i.imgur.com/VhJ4sX9.jpg)

My usual view
(https://i.imgur.com/1wGh3co.jpg)

Infantry, a leader and heavy weapons platorms make a platoon
(https://i.imgur.com/Je5oF88.jpg)

(https://i.imgur.com/Vt1pggE.jpg)

The whole force (so far, need more bases for next bits) - he's a big boy!
(https://i.imgur.com/eoFfjBn.jpg)

Tall isn't he?

Up side - those look great.

Down side - it reminds me I still have half a Saim Hann army to paint!

Impressive! But, to show my ignorance, what/who are the Eldar? I especially like the walkers, can you tell me who made them and how tall they are?

Eldar are Games Workshop's WH40K space elves. Since they're 6mm scale so I'm going to guess 15cm for the titan and an inch for the 'little' walkers  :-\

Probably confusing it with the 28mm Wraithlords/dreadnaughts!
