Repaint Adventure

Hey all, Fox here. So for the past year or two I've been striping and repainting my Eldar army. Here are the videos of where I started in 2009 and where I am so far in 2010. I still have a long way to go haha. Enjoy.

The Battle for Phobos - Warhammer 40,000 Apocalypse Game

Who can play: The game starts Saturday at 3:00 pm and will run until 11:00pm/12:00am. Anyone that has paid for the event ($6.00) and has painted (3 colours and based) models,

How many Points? Bring your army in 500 point blocks, if your super heavy is over 500 points bring some units to bring the total to 1000 points.

What should I bring? Super heavies are very welcome, standard 40k models (It may be an idea to take something that can take out a super heavy just in case) Please don’t bring more models then you can handle moving and rolling for in a turn.

Are my own creations welcome? Scratch builds that are reasonable are quite welcome but must be based and have 3 colours. Pepsi can as a dreadnought isn’t going to cut it.

What is this all about? This is a huge game of 40k using the Apoc rules set.

Is there a points cap per person or team? Not currently but again please only bring as many models as you can roll and move in a turn.

What will this look like? It will be four 6x4 tables in a square, so one 12x8 table. Expect to see between 20-25 buildings arranged on the table with streets in between them wide enough to accommodate a Baneblade. In addition the table will be about 6" of clear space to allow for easier deployment.

Teams how will that work? Points will be calculated and two teams will be made from the people that have arrived. 5 strategic assets will be allowed per side but No assets with formations. Flank march is acceptable but only one army per side can use it, no jammers will be allowed.
What are we fighting for? You’ll be fighting over control of the “The Three” (http://gamesummit.ca/forum/viewtopic.php?f=96&t=6267) thought control of specific objectives on the table. Objectives will count towards campaign credit as well.

Force Org Charts do they matter? Nope not at all, troops will be required to hold objectives.

The Replacements

In my original list of units to repaint were my swooping hawks but I didn't have as much luck as I thought I would with them. It could be my play style or just the fact I wasn't aggressive enough with them. So what I've done is in my 1500 point list was replacing the swooping hawks with fire dragons and placing them in the wave serpent for the striking scorpions.

I'm going to try the list out tonight so we'll see how it goes. Look for a battle report in the near future.

Eldar Vs Imperial Guard Penal Legion 1500 pts

This is a quick battle report for a tournament a little while ago. It's the first time I've been able to take out all the enemy units. I think it was mostly because of oddly enough good roles on my part and just bad rolls for my opponent.

1500 points of Eldar + 1 Month = Tournament Read Army

Here is a video of the progress I did over a month of painting. Again I have been mentioning I was working a lot during this time bit it really impacted the amount of painting I was able to do. I didn't really mention this but I really should, it took me a good year to finally decide on this simple colour scheme :D

1 x Autarch

8 x Scorpions

8 x Spiders

20 x Guardians

5 x Hawks

3 x Wave Serpents

2 x Prism

1 x Night Spinner

1 x Display board

Heavy Support

Oh so my heavy support is as finished as best as I can with the time I have. The 24th tournament in North Bay is this weekend so I kinda went cheap-o with the paint job on the hull. I'll be doing the same with the 3 wave serpents. After the tournament I want to paint them all up like the turrets and add some free hand runes.

Tank Turret Update

So here are my three heavy support choices, well their turrets, I have a few touch ups here and there and then I want to paint all the gems. I'm not 100% happy with the prism cannons yet so I'l be playing with them a little more. maybe try some blending. I dunno. Now on to the chassis.

DIY - Tank Flying Bases

Materials

-Canadian Dime

-Thumb Tack

-Large Flying Base

Magnet is on the base of the tank

Painting Update

Just reviewing the various models I'm repainting. Only painting 1500 points at this time. Also updated my night wing, titan bases and made a much nicer display board.

Tank Turrets WIP

So here are my tank turrets for my 1500 point list. Three wave serpent, two fire prism and one night spinner. I have a ways to go but I'm happy with it so far.

Updated Night Wing Bases

Here are my updated Night Wing bases. I've placed a nut at the top for the Night Wings' magnets. I picked up some plaques at the $1 store glued them to the existing bases I had. Added a little sand and paint. I'm happy with the result.

Warp Spiders!

Warp Spiders are close to being completed. Just a few details and some touch ups and they are completed. Now on to the tanks. Three Wave Serpents, two Fire Prism, one Night Spinner. I hope I can get these completed by the 24th. Wish me luck!

Autarch WIP

Here is a work in progress for my Autarch.

Striking Scorpions

Ok so here is a repaint update. My striking scorpions are 99% done, I just need to do the eyes and a few details more on the exarch. I have two tournamnts this month, one on the 10th in Petawawa and one on the 24th in North Bay. I really hope I can get most of my stuff done for these tournaments. Next up.. You guessed it, Warp Spiders!

DIY - Basing With Sand

Just a little video on how I go about basing my models.

I find some sand in the back yard, make sure its fine sand. Bake the sand at about 225'F to kill any nasties in it. I'll water down some glue and brush it on the base then dip the model's base into the sand. Shake off the excess and you're done. Paint it up add some green stuff vines if you like, have fun with it! remember to try this before you base coat your models makes life much easier.

20 Eldar Guardians

So here are my first two squads repainted. Wow this it taking a little longer then I expected but I'm really happy with the result. Just have to finish the eyes.

Next will be my Autarch, Striking Scorpions and Warp Spiders. Then the tanks and a few other unit upgrades like Warlocks.

The New Colours of Anasinia

So I've finally found a colour scheme I like. I'm priming black, painting shadow grey and dry brushing ice blue. For the gems I'm using scorpion green and a mix of scorpion green and space wolf grey. The face plates are space wolf grey and the bases are bestial brown with a dry brush mix of bestial brown and space wolf grey.

The Call of Locara

The Anasinia drifted quietly in the shadows of Ulthwe awaiting her Farseer to return from a meeting with the Craftworlds seer council. Krish’el stood emotionless as the order to leave the Craftworld was given. She understood the purpose and importance of her mission but detested the thought of leaving her quest unfinished. Turning the young Farseer left for her waveserpent feeling in her heart this was the right thing to do.

A short time later aboard the Anasinia, an Eldar eclipse cruiser, Krish’el met with her two closest generals. Sha'eil, he who strikes from the warp was the only Autarch aboard the cruiser and led the aspect warriors of the host. Anastari the cast out, once warlock of Saim Hann was rescued by the Anasinia’s Eldar when her bike unit was nearly wiped out. Now a Farseer she and the remainder of her unit joined their Uthwe kin to repay the debt. Realizing they may never return to Saim Hann for risk of being declared tainted, as many regard those from Ulthwe because of their proximity to the Eye of Terror.

Sha'eil was first to speak, “Are we free to continue our search?”

Krish’el shook her head, “No, we’ve been ordered to cease our efforts and move to an area of space the Mon-keigh call Locara.”

“Why, Locara?” Anastari asked as she looked to the table glancing over the webway map.

Sha'eil took Anastari’s hand and placed it over the map both felt their hands move as if drawn towards an area labeled in the tongue of the Mon-keigh, “Can you not feel the pull, as if something is calls us there?” Anastari looked shocked still new to her growing powers.

Sha'eil’s face grew grim, “The Mon-keigh are already there, as are many others. We need to answer this call and stop them from uncovering any of Locara’s secrets.” With little else said the three parted to prepare the crew for long journey.

This is my submission for the Locara Achievement 29. Mighter than the Sword.
