Byron's Pirate Eldar - Eälindor - Leader Month (675.5 pts)

 

Jumping right into what I painted this month.

Eälindor

Top of the order, is Eälindor the Pelagarch of my Space Elf army. For the etymology nerds in OWAC Pelagarch is a pseudo Greek word to follow the pattern of Exarch and Autarch. Basically it's archipelago backwards Pelagos + Arch. Loosely something like leader of the sea. 

Here are a handful of pics of Eälindor. His shape doesn't appear well in pictures so I included a handful all around to help convey his pose.

Eälindor was a spendy conversion. He is made from Eltharion the Blind and a RT era Howling Banshee. In retrospect, perhaps an early 2000s Banshee would have matched Eltharion better.

Eltharion the blind, now also Eltharion the armless and headless.

This banshee had her arms cut off and her head removed.

arms and head attached. 

Putty to turn his scale thigh armor into plates, mesh chainmail on his legs and arms.

Putty to give him big hair.

Eledriel Dreamrain - Farseer

I've included a few pics of Eledrial to show off his star cloak.

Garanferth Greyheart - warlock

Standard bearer and musician

Freehand Lothern sea guard serpent as another fantasy allusion. Also, purple skin to mix things up.

Isha rune to match the wave serpent.

pic to show off the triple yin yang symbol I sculpted.

Warriors

The new warriors included a few minor conversions. Five of them have head swaps.

I added another 8 warriors to my second warrior unit.

The second warrior unit fully arrayed.

Close up of my las cannon-armed trooper. I figured he warranted a close up.

Going for shoulder mounted heavy weapons to match other heavy weapons from the RT era and the Dark Eldar dark lances.

greyish skin to keep the space elves varied. Mixing up the skin tones has been rewarding and really pushed me to consider doing so one other projects.
