Sinister Eldar - themed tourney army

[Wryth]

Here is the work so far on an Eldar army I am building/painting for Fields of Blood here in New Zealand in September. Its an Iyanden/wraith theme with an original colour scheme.

The army is supposed to represent a sentinel force guarding a webway portal complex on an isolated arctic world. The caretakers are the farseer and his warlock assisstants who tend to the wraith constructs, while a small force of live Eldar rotate service from Iyanden to scout the world and maintain the complex's systems.

Most things made of wraithbone in the army have a dark stoney colour with 'spectral/spooky' imagery moving over its surface for the purpose of terrifying invaders. While the 'live' soldiers clothe themselves in arctic colours to hide themselves from the enemy.

The Pathfinders who scout the arctic wastes



The wraithguard sentinels of the portal complex

half my jetbike squad - the rest are soon to be worked on



Fire Dragons - in my final list I've dropped the Exarch


These tank busters will have a wave Serpent soon with a dragon motif on the hull

Pre dragon wave serpent I have already completed my Dire Avenger transport





Its got a suitably arctic base now as well

PS and the shuriken catapults are not upside down anymore lol

[Wryth]

Here is the first of a trio of Wraithlords, its the only one completed but number 2 is in the works



Anyway I hope you like what I've done so far and welcome any comments, the total force has to be finished within 7 weeks so expect updates often.

These are absolutely beautiful, particularly the Wraithguard and Fire Dragons!

That's some downright jaw-dropping freehand work there. Nice looking army, for sure! I particularly enjoy your Fire Dragons, they aren't as striking as some of your other models but you did a good job of bringing the Aspect colors in line with the theme of your army. I imagine them firing gouts of fiery screaming souls much like the ones adorning the Wraithguard and your Wave Serpent.

Very nice freehand. I dig the theme you are going for...

I am in love with your WraithGuard...

[Wryth]

Heres the WIP shots of my next Wraithlord, pretty much got the 'head' done and working on the sword. Usually I would finish all the blue carapace freehand sections before moving onto the dark body and sword, but I'm just painting this one in a more of a top to bottom approach.





Would have gotten more done tonight but a certain patch 3.2 got released today for those suffering the same distraction as I
