    Default Craftworld Arithym

    I have decided to build my Eldar as a new Craftworld. It is named Arithym!

    I have chosen Bone coloured armour with Black helms. The inner mask and weaponry shall be Bronze. Eye pieces and sashes shall be Green and Purple for the Guardians and support/Heavy Weapon platforms. I am thinking to add this here and there on the Aspects to tie them to the Craftworld. Does anyone have additional suggestions regarding useful colours which would work for further Squad sashes?

    Firstly, I would ask of anyone viewing this Blog to offer any other colours which might be added to my scheme.

    Secondly, I'd like you to tell me what you think of my scheme as it stands.

    My army at present stands as such:

    Two Farseers,
    Five Warlocks,
    Two Avatars (One GW metal & one Forgeworld Spear caster),

    Six Warp Spiders,
    Twenty Four Scorpions,
    Eighteen Banshees,
    Forty Avengers,
    Six Scouts,
    All Phoenix Lords,
    Thirteen Reapers,
    Roughly Fifteen Hawks,
    21 Guardians plus weapon platform,
    One Bonesinger (Which will be used as my forces Spirit Seer),
    Five Wraithguard,
    Five War Walkers,
    Three Wraithlords,
    Three Jetbikes,
    Three Vypers,
    Four Falcons,
    Five Wave Serpents,
    A Death Spinner (Forgeworld),
    A Fire Prism (new version),
    A Fire Storm (Forgeworld),
    A Mk II Scorpion,
    Two Revenants
    & One Armourcast Phantom Titan!

    I intend to play as a Swordwind Army with elements of a Dead Host. I have stripped all of my old models down using Tesco Multi Purpose cleaner. My old Avatar shall be my training ground so that I do the Forgeworld version justice.

    At this time, it's approximately 19,688 points worth of Eldar.

    Second Guardian Squad. These have purple sashes.

    The Wave Serpent.





    The Falcon.





    Both the Falcon and Serpent now have grey bases. The old style GW Green Bases are a thing of the past. The first Guardian Squad still has the green ones. Fresh pictures of them shall be shot once I have repainted them Grey.

    Very pretty, and I agree with Grailkeeper, rather steampunk.
    Ask not the EldarGal a question, for she will give you three answers, all of which are puns and terrifying to know. Back off man, I'm a feminist. Ia! Ia! Gloppal Snode!

    Thank you! I'm rather pleased with the colour scheme.

    Arithym was simply me trying to rack my brains to come up with a suitably Eldar sounding name. I tried look at various sources for Eldar words but none of them helped much. In the end, this is simply one of many names I tried. None of them felt as 'right' as Arithym.

    I designed the colour scheme using the original Dawn of Wars army painter software on the Guardian.

    Thank you! It is Tin Bitz, followed by a dry brush of Dwarven Bronze, then a drybrush of Shining Gold. This is finally given a wash of Chestnut Ink. Because that fantastic ink was discontinued, I had to find a replacement. Thanks to the Internet community, I found Liquitex Transparent Burnt Sienna. It is identical. I got 6 30ml bottles for 15 quid.

    Seers are nearly done.

    Thought y'all might wanna see what is next.







    Two Fire Prisms. And twenty Dire Avengers.

    Decided that the clear crystals will work well as coloured clear. Bought a jar of Tamiya Clear green which I'll paint over the crystals before gluing them in place.

    I like the bone colour, I nearly did something similar with my own Eldar before deciding on pure white instead.

    So are Eldar from your Craftworld known as Arithymetics?
