As with my old Warhammer 40k army, my wraithbone constructs will have an inverted colour scheme (bone base with purple highlights). The Wraithguard are the starting point for this. Working on Wraithlords and Warwalkers in the same scheme.

First progress. A big block of work is out of the way. I finished all the Guardians. Four mobile formations are shown below. I will photograph the last one when their support weapons are ready.
Spring is upon us and with it the time for the next round of Tales of Epic Gamers on the Tactical Commands forum. After the somewhat harrowing experience of completing the Squats, I will embark on a quest to finish my Eldar force during this ToEG. Unlike the Squats, these models are nice, new and varied in colour scheme. Should be a lot easier.
I will paint the army in the colour scheme that I already used for my Battlefleet Gothic Eldar fleet which was in turn inspired by my 2004 Warhammer 40k tournament army (see quick snapshot below – click to embiggen but they are dusty and old…).
Like all my Epic forces, the Eldar have all units in the official army list at decent quantities. Below is the starting point:
Clockwise from top left: Rangers, objectives, Guardians (5 formations including support and heavy weapon platforms), Wraithguard
Clockwise from top left: Aspect Warriors (8 of all types incl. 2 Exarch each), Warwalker, Jetbikes, Shining Spears
Clockwise from top left: Engines of Vaul, Revenant Titans, Air Force (Vampires, Phoenix, Nightwings), Firestorms, Fireprisms, Nightspinner, Wave Serpents, Falcons, Vypers & Avatar in the middle.
Missing from the pictures are a Phantom and Warlock Titan.
So it begins. Wish me luck (and painting enthusiasm.
The mighty Hellbore and some home-made “surfaced” markers for the two Moles and the Hellbore.
The mega-heavies of the Squat army: Colossus with Iron Hawk, Cyclops, Leviathan.
The bigger cousins of the Termites. I made a mould of the tip of the tunneler so that I can make surfacing markets similar to the Termite markers.
Zeppelins of war…
Great concept, somewhat quirky execution with those tiny no-clearance threads But hey, Land Trains are still an iconic part of the Squat army.
Wow, not only have those Squats drained the painting energy out of me, they even stopped the blog posts for a few months. I made one more push to finish the last few models. I present two squadrons of Iron Eagle flyers and two batteries of Thunderfire Guns.
Second to last of the Necron models. I am a useless sculptor so I kitbashed the model from various left-over Otterware parts and a uranium glass marble.
