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.

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.
