Hi OWACers,
I am Andrea and I going to [continue] painting the Eldar!
This is what, among all things I hoarded in the last years, will be my new challenge:

| The family picture of my OWAC9 challenge |
But let me introduce myself: I am a happy 50yo guy from Italy, introduced to the Warhammer world in the middle 90s. Started with Warhammer Fantasy 4th ed, later I included also the WH40K 2nd edition; ooooh, great days where those days!
This is not my first OWAC, as I successfully concluded my challenges in OWAC1, 2, and 3... well, then I started the OWAC5 but fell in the field of bone (I dared to paint the Space Wolves: I love and hate them)
 |
| My past [successful] OWACs! |
So, this year is WH40K again but, this time, with my old good space pointy ears! The list, following the 2nd edition codex:
Unit points
Avatar of Khaine 300
Farseer 170
Exarch Howling Banshee 62
Guardian Squad (x6) 66
Guardian Squad (x6) 66
Howling Banshee (x4) 108
Wraithguards (x5) 175
Dreadnought War Demon 160
Wave Serpent 150
Scatter Laser platform 59
D-cannon platform 55
Total 1349
The idea is to give justice to most of my remaining Eldar miniature and to give rise to a small force to properly play Rogue Trader. As you can see there are still many units from 2nd edition: let's say they are useful to get the proper amount of pieces for the challenge, and they will be a due addition to my 2nd edition Eldar army.
Oh, artwork! As an aspirant Rogue Trader player, I just took one of the wonderful illustrations of that time, which was one of the pictures that hits my imagination the first time I come into contact to sci-fi Warhammer:
For some reason (who knows what I was thinking about in that moment), bases decoration pattern of previously painted RT and 2nd edition Eldar does not match, so it is likely that bases will be a bit different.
OK, let's have a closer look to units which will be (more or less) organized in:
Two leader/monster months
Two rank&file months (1: two guardian squads; 2: Wraithguards and Banshees)
One Veichle month
 |
| (do I said I am loving 3d printing?) |
Extra stuff month
That's all, I think, for the moment. Of course, there is more to paint than I presented here but anything more will be surprise ;-)
Good luck to all challenger, may we all finish our goals!
ciao, Andrea
Absolutely love these Space Elves! And what an amazing 3D print. Can't wait to see these painted up.
ReplyDeleteThat printed ship is insane! Looking forward to these!
ReplyDeleteGood to see you back in OWAC! That's an impressive army you've built up and it's going to look fantastic, based on the results of your previous successes!
ReplyDeleteReally looking forward to see how these turn out.
I hope the artwork choice means that we are getting some classic Eldar stripey helmets? I know I was a bit cheeky about the 3D printed Wave Serpent before, but I'm actually dying to see what it looks like painted up. Good luck with the challenge this year :)
ReplyDeleteSome great stuff in there. I like that wave serpent cast. Look forward to how this will turn out.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your project !
ReplyDeleteLooks like your force will be iconic once painted! So many classic models, and a true classic artwork to draw inspiration from. The Wave Serpent is the cherry on top. Good luck in the challenge!
ReplyDeleteI was hanging around to find some inspiration for my RT space elves army and I saw yours ! Nice minis and very good old ones there...and the wave serpent...wow...did you design it or did you find it somewhere on the web (and where ? XD)
ReplyDeleteI very much love those old guardian models - so much character, and absolutelt the best farseer! Good luck with the paint!
