Byron's Wrap up - Eälindor's Reaver Corps. (1969 pts)

At the end of each OWAC I try to spend the last month painting up an additional batch of stuff. So for this last month I have painted up a Crotalid Squad - Assault elves.

The unit is made up of a series of simple conversions. I used striking scorpions, wyches, and some dual-wielding RT eldar warriors. They have the usual conversions for the army - breathing tubes and helmet tassels. There are a few head swaps in the unit. Most of the close combat weapons were removed and models were given an assortment of eldar pistol weapons. 







In my head I imagine these guys flying around the battle field like Jango Fett  -pew pew pew and maybe stopping to grenade a tank or something

 




Points 
Eldar w/ mesh armor, refractor field, jump pack, laspistols, frag grenade x7 = 101.5 pts
Eldar w/ mesh armor, refractor field, jump pack, hand flamer, grenade, and chain sword = 17 pts

On to the final pics of the whole army






I now have a proper eldar pirate army to match my finished eldar pirate space fleet. 

The final points tally

I apologize for some of the redundancy of my points tally (especially the warriors). I just went through all of my old posts and copied and pasted all of my point value summaries.

Maybe for another time?

What's next?

Next year's challenge is a goblin horde. I've been accumulating a horde of gribbly little goblins. My challenge to myself is to paint enough goblins to cover an entire shelf. We'll see.

  4. You definitely didn’t hold back when putting this army together. Great conversions and a keen eye for even the smallest details is your trademark. And big bonus points for the hex bases!

  5. Congratulations on a force that is truly a work of art. Your RT Eldar conversion and sculpting work is some of the very best I've seen. Your skill and sensibility are clearly in tune with that Oldschool space elf vibe! :D
