Wrap-up post!
Another OWAC, another troop removed from the pile of shame.
It was a fun project. From painting to create the scenes and write some stories accompanying the updates. It was less stressful than the orc and goblins except for some odd months. However, this time having a job a constrained schedule felt a lot in the planned "extras". Maybe in a future coming back to Iyanden I can add the terrain from the Tyranid invasion or some scattered details from the craftwold gardens.
Painting yellow may seems a bit tedious sometimes but the experience of years collecting eldars and the mix of models I selected made the task a much easier.
I enjoyed the pirates a lot with the mixture of armour colors, one of my favourite units of this challenge. Also I can finally claim my small achievement, completed the unit of eldar exodites after so long. Some of the eldar scouts and wood elf wardancers were purchased in blisters, and the cold ones were the ones from their very first release!
The Doom of the Eldar has not been my personal doom, I finished another OWAC! It has been so much pleasure to paint it as to show them to you all. Hope I get my hand in some units and can continue this project in a future OWAC.
Oh, remember the last year when I lost a goblin for the last set of pictures and found it after the recap post? I have made the same mistake with my wraithlord bright lance. I had it in my hand the other day!!

This army is beautiful and oozing character, I love it

ReplyDeleteWonderful army, I didn't count my gems, LOL! Great work on difficult figs, and a great army shot!
ReplyDeleteIt's beatiful! Everything about it is perfect!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely - 1532 the gem count! bananas! Congratulations on a great finish to a brilliant army - they look the bizniz arrayed on that terrain. Catch ya next year 💪
ReplyDeleteI think painting that many gems would mean doom for me but you seemed to have survived the ordeal and come through in (literally) flying colours! Loved your narrative throughout and the painting is wonderful - bravo!
ReplyDeleteThat yellow is breathtaking, and those gemstones are incredible.
ReplyDeleteSo many gems!!!! But now you have a really cool eldar force, well done...
ReplyDeleteNicely done sir, will be using some of those colour schemes for my own eldar
ReplyDeleteReally nice Eldar force - it's great to see them together on one photo. Those colours really pop, especially the yellow.
ReplyDeleteGreat job!
so pretty! and well photographed. Superb effort here.
ReplyDeleteSpectacular looking army. Very striking bold colours, sharp and crisp painting. With this number of gems it's a very precious force as well - must have required Jedi level patience training! Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteFantastic looking army and well done on staying sane while painting all those gems!
