Warriors from the Craftworld - Andrea's Space Elves - January rank & File

 

Hi All, 

here is my first entry: Wraithguards! 

These are something I never painted before (contrary to the rest of the Eldar, which I already painted some 20 years ago, and then sold for getting Preatorian Imperial Guards... uhm... which I sold a few years ago to get Eldar again!). 

So here they are, and I hope you like them as much as I am satisfied to finally see them done!

There are not much paints from Heavy Metal studio about them, likely because they were issued  after the Codex did, except for the classical Ulthwé color scheme.  Though, my craftworld is Alaitoc which is quite well known in ModernHammer but less common in the days of the 2nd edition.

So I have followed the paint scheme of my other constructs, like the Dreadnought and the War Walker I painted a few years ago.

Next are the Howling Banshees. These are one of my favourite Aspect Warrior unit, probably my most favourite! The picture below is taken from the WH40K rulebook and it was the first time I saw Banshees. 

That colour scheme remained in my mind and I wanted to (re)reproduce it. This also include the Exarch having a different color scheme, which in the 2nd edition make sense as, being heroes, they were not really part of the squad (and they could be selected even if the squad of the same temple is not).

I am really happy to have them painted (again): it was a real pleasure to paint them, the sculpt and the definition of these pieces is so sharp that make the painting very simple and smooth!

So, here is what I achieved this month:

5 Wraithguards....................... 175 pts

4 Howling Banshees............... 108 pts

1 Howling Banshees Exarch...   62 pts

Total........................................ 345 pts

Now I just need to decide what to do next: another rank and file, or the leader? We will se next month!

ciao, A
