What happened to my Eldar? I ran out of greenstuff is what happened, plus, I was doing what Ca$h was doing and that was finishing off an army that was close to being done. This is an army that I played the shit out of the past bunch of years, basically retiring it after wining my second Staff GT. It even used to be Crimson Fists, but asurmen blue plus badass black wash after covering up the red fists... pretty easy. After chatting with VT2 over on the 3++ site, he had a pretty neat idea for an army, that relies on 3 units of Sternguard to do a lot of the heavy lifting, with only 2 units of Tacticals. I'm intrigued, and so will try out the list, with a few modifications to fit my model collection of course. Pics are below
Above are my 2 heavily converted old school "egg" lead dreads. Plasticard for the collar and shoulder plates, plus a plastic terminator head, make them look a LOT like the pre-heresy artwork for dreads. I'm really happy how they turned out. They come in drop pods in this list.
I plan on taking this list to Conquest Toronto, so we will see how that turns out. I've never used a list not made by myself, but this one is different enough that it makes me think outside my normal marine comfort zone. Thanks again VT2!!
Den, I'm stealing your dreadnought ideas...I have to make mine look that good, they are amazing!
ReplyDeleteget a hobby saw.. I can show you exactly what I did for mine, and I even have spare terminator helmets.
ReplyDeleteThe build will serve you well.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome Den!
ReplyDeleteI'm likely moving to right near CA$H and Lothlann, so easier to get in hobby time/games :)
Finally someone builds some pre-heresy dreads that don't look like Mr. Potato Head got it on with a diesel engine. I still have a couple of those old torsos and will definitely give that look a try. The slab-sided drop pods are really nice, too.
ReplyDeleteLooks great! The "weird" weapon is a needler gun.
ReplyDeleteYe old 2x lascannon sternguards? ;)
ReplyDeleteI was going to do something like that for the ultras... looks good at least on paper.
Man, this army has been kicking around forever. I love it.
