Now that is some uber sexiness!  I like what you're doing here and I'm glad there's another who's not "Waaa! Eldar broke! I quit!" But that's for another thread...

All the stuff you've managed to complete looks fantastic.  I especially like the alternating color scheme of the rangers to seperate the squads... very nice!

I honestly don't think I can come up with anything bad to say about it...

That a great paint scheme, and your skills and patience are very evidant...

The list is a bit of a surprise too, so that might work in your favour, as it will be largely un-expected (but its certainly not Uber in any way). Usage will be its key factor (good or bad)...

In regard to your painting, best of luck and keep at it.. oh and show us more pics please. Nice free hand btw...

So why are you painting the Skimmer, I don't see it in the list.

Oh and you were losing points on comp, well they would hate guys like Lazarus or myself then, as I think our lists are harder, and although comp is involved, we both tend to have something pretty nasty in there too. Mech Eldar can be mean, and my JB council is sick vs some opponents (and my list is balanced out believe it or not)...

nice work and good luck once again

I've just referred to it as prism in the list :d not fireprism!

Yea, if I wasn't interested in composition I'd have taken a jetbike seer council and made numerous other changes but I'm specifically targetting the painting competition of which composition is worth 50% of the mark so I basically had to fulfil their full composition criteria!

Thanks for the luck mate :) x

Holy amazing wow batman!  That is one freakin amazing paint job!  And to think you did that in such a short period of time... I wish I could paint that well let alone paint decently in the time it has taken you...

Very incredible indeed...

Awesome. The amount of detail on that model alone is amazing.


Good luck with the rest of the army!
We passed upon the stairs. He spoke of was and when. Although i wasn't there, he said i was his friend. which came as a surprise

I spoke into his eyes "I thought you died alone, a long long time ago."

He laughed "Oh no, not me, we never lost control, you're face to face, with the man who sold the world"

 :o This is turning out amazing Rupert! I wish I could bring myself to do that kind of adventurous freehanding. It's looking awesome, what armour colour will you be doing on the bikers?

I have 2 units of 7 jetbikes (lock, 2 cannons, 4 normal), one unit has purple canopies and the bone criss-cross motif as previously shown in this blog, the other unit has blue canopies with purple lightning on.

The jetbikers have been converted by putting eldar guardian torsos and heads onto biker legs and arms and although it's a bit fiddly it looks much better then the normal model which is starting to look very outdated. For the warlock I've put a spine off the back of a wraithlord on each and used dire avenger helmets and the singing spears are from the high elf chariot (still waiting on these parts in the post).

The jetbikers themselves are painted in a mixture of the three colours for this army, purple, blue and tourqouise with different parts painted different colours.

I'll try and get some pictures taken tomorrow of the jetbikes of the harlequins that I'm working on. Hopefully on monday I can post a picture of me and the trophy!

I am still waiting for the dire avenger box to convert the 2nd jetbike unit, a dark elf sorceress to convert into a shadowseer, the 3 spears to convert into singing spears and a tub of woodland scenics snow flock!

See you on Saturday mate x
