Everyone slides through Sigil sooner or later. But plenty of cutters call the Cage home, and it's their shops, trades, and peels that keep the jink flowing - and the bone-boxes flapping. A body's got to know who sells bogus goods, and who'll scrag him (or worse) just for the fun of it. 'Course, the trick is telling friend from foe. In Sigil, a fiery fiend ain't always a serpent, and a shining celestial ain't always a lamb.

Eldar - Part 2

I love my Eldar. I hate my Eldar. It is perhaps a byproduct of the love I have for these models and the fluff that surrounds the alien species that I don't ever seem to be happy with the colour schemes and paint jobs I do on them. I have changed colour schemes a couple of times and still can't seem to make up my mind. Despite this, there are a couple of constant ideals that I have always wanted to maintain:

a) That the aspect warriors would not have their own colour schemes (as per the traditional colours. Blue for Dire Avengers, green for Striking Scorpions etc). I want a consistent colour scheme throughout the whole army.

b) The colour scheme itself was - at least in the main - to be of a dark colour. This was in order to create a strong constrast to the inevitable Harlequin unit that would be painted in the traditional riot of colours.

c) Wraithbone colouring would play a part in some of the uniform. Usually, wraithbone is done in a cream colour (as per the Ulthwe colours), but I tend to either an eerie blue or a grey.

The below photos are from my first painting attempts for Eldar (a couple of years old now) and even now I sometimes think I should return to it:

Dire Avenger (new model): Howling Banshee/Striking Scorpion (old models): Farseer:

Looking good, Sigil, ya geek. I have the hand of a octogenarian alcoholic with alzheimers, so painting metal miniatures is sadly not on the cards. Not that sad really, but a little.

Still, nice looking miniatures. Like the necron weaponry.
