To say the f*&ing least. Life, as it turns out, has a way of directing us regardless of our best intentions. Seriously, as the title states... its like a ghost army has been resurrected.<br /></p><p>So, this post will go over what has been, where things are at and where they're going over the next four to five years. Yep, still got that long to go... in the immortal words of Idris Elba - Reset the clock.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://thumbs.gfycat.com/JollyAdvancedAtlanticsharpnosepuffer-max-1mb.gif" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="250" data-original-width="444" src="https://thumbs.gfycat.com/JollyAdvancedAtlanticsharpnosepuffer-max-1mb.gif" /></a></div><h2 style="text-align: left;">The "Past" <br /></h2><p>What the hell happened, Dave?

Any parent knows this though. With them, come expenses... lots of expenses. Add in special needs... its a party.<br /></p><p><b>2. Health dramas</b> - We all have them, this is normal. Ours just came all at once. I won't lie, there was a moment where I probed for interest in selling the Warhost. Thankfully, it did not come to that, but it got very close. <br /></p><p><b>3. House stuff</b> - COVID-19 brought with it some pretty interesting changes, which we have all been affected by. Not least of this is working arrangements. To do this, some office/livability factors were required. It paid off, as I'm lucky enough to work for an organisation who have allowed me to work from home full time due to the life events that have transpired since 2017.</p><p>All of the above has added up to the Warhost coming a distant 20 something on the list of priorities.</p><p> ...

As most of you know by now, especially commissioned artists and studios, I don't put deadlines on any of the works - this prevents the artists from getting burn out and also gives them flexibility to really shine when putting thought into the pieces.<br />
<br />
<i>*I will preface this in saying the below considers a time line of two years for the HQ/Titans, and 3-4 for everything else.</i><br />
<br />
As most who follow this blog would have noticed, Vincent is getting out of the painting business and now well into sculpting miniatures for his business <a href="https://www.facebook.com/limbominiatures/">Limbo Miniatures</a>. Seriously, check out his stuff, its jaw dropping.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
What does this mean? Well, all the HQ models for the Eldar were his exclusively to manage, until now. The helm is being passed to Linford of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BanshiekMiniaturePainting/">Banshiek Miniature Painting</a> (Brisbane, QLD) after seeing his incredible works with other Eldar commissions (seen below).<br />

<br />
While a few miniatures are on their way back from Vincent, Linford will be taking up the helm in November on the next batch of 26.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Clayton from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Can-brush-studio-285046848572833/">Can Brush Studios</a> (Toowoomba, QLD) will have his work cut out for him with doing detail/repair work on the Warmachines (some were severely damaged in transit, others will have the pilots and fine details attended to.<br />

In the background, and I owe this lad an apology for the delays of over two years (yeah, bad Dave), Arawn from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TitanMiniatures/">Titan Miniatures</a> will be taking care of a stupidly large amount of Wraith constructs, Jetbikes and Harlequins (don't worry...

<br />
Artel Miniatures is one such company to join the growing list of amazing sculptors. I've just had my Farseer Macha and "Boneshee" arrive - they're both of very high quality resin and detail. Seriously, if all companies could put this kind of quality out I'd have to take out a second mortgage on the house.<br />
<br />
Enough with the babble?<br />
<br />
Here they are...<br />

On a side note, Artel Miniatures have also released a full squad of Boneshees... I intend on adding 30 of these to the existing Warhost. I'd be an idiot not to. EDIT: 3/2/2018 Post updated, these are no longer available... Sad Dave.<br />

This is what you get when a Warp Spider Phoenix Lord decides to open a slice of webway from within and emerges like a Xenomorph chest burster. Hint: It's more spectacular than a stripper from a cake.<br />
<br />
I'm a bit limited for time at the moment, however, so I will be brief in this post... enjoy!<br />

Up this week are the venerable Asurmen, two Farseers and an Autarch of the winged variety.<br />

On a side note, I've been in the midst of flyer repairs getting the winged variety magnetised and up in the display case. Not an easy task - especially when you realise bits were missing or not put on at all, meaning much scurrying to find suitable parts to paint becomes an addition to a long list of "fixes". Yep, moving interstate and having so many minis all over the globe does that!<br />

... And to think I have another 3 years left to get it all under control. What have I got myself into eh?Dave Drinanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09711198988442003351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5354559540025489800.post-55892658385662829202017-06-27T09:37:00.000+10:002017-06-27T09:37:26.776+10:00Warhost Display Cabinet - Almost complete...Well, I now feel a little better that the doors are on - and little fingers can't create a hostage situation.<br />
<br />
Have to say up front though that the remaining lights inside the cabinet aren't in yet (down and up firing to "fill" the case with light, not just the shelves). Still sourcing some 45 degree angle aluminium profiling to polish it all off yet.<br />
<br />
Oh, and no, the ceiling isn't warped, that's just the camera on my phone being a dick... also with the lighting, but it gives you all some idea of what the Warhost will be housed in. Should only be about a month away from completion at this rate, then I'll begin sending out the remaining batches as I can afford to have them painted. With a newborn on the way, its going to get a bit tight for cash (it is already... but the spare room is now direly needed).<br />
<br />
Without further ado, here are the piccies...<br />

One lad, Vincent, has held the reigns over all HQ models (with the exception of Warlocks). The good news? He's on the home stretch! In recent times, Vincent has switched from commission painting to his own personal line of miniatures - <a href="http://www.limbominiatures.com/">Limbo Miniatures</a> - As you might imagine, running your own business takes up a fair chunk of time :)<br />

Luckily, Vincent has been gracious enough to finish off the HQ models, being his last comission - for which I am immensely grateful. One look at the quality and how he has given each model its own uniqueness while keeping the theme, and you will see why I'm pretty thrilled he has stuck with me getting these HQ models done over the years. They've all come out absolutely stunning!<br />
<br />
See below for a line up of all the models to date Vincent has completed for the Dras'Volharr...<br />

Thank you to all those who have been supportive over the last two decades, you're why this project is still going. In regards to GW IP, <a href="https://wcwdb.blogspot.com.au/p/about-this-blog.html">this page exists</a> to remind everyone it is in NO means a challenge to GW. If anything it should flatter the company that a fan would go to these extreme measures of commitment to exhibit just how much enjoyment they've had with ensuring the pointy space elves don't go extinct. ###<br />
<br />
Ok, so now that the beast is done, I'll spend a little more time explaining exactly how this model came into being. Most of you are probably wondering "why" for some aspects of this... aspect.. heh. Some items are glaringly obvious, others not so much... there is a rhyme and reason to it though.<br />
<br />
We will start with the general concept and go into the defining features, then onto the "different" bits.<br />
<br />
Many of you are familiar with the lore based <b style="background-color: black; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 12.7px;"><a href="http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Lhykosidae">Lhykosidae</a> </b>concept Wraith (Warp) Spider from the Eldar Prophecy novel - The name coming from the Wolf Spider's scientific description... almost verbatim. This model is an attempt at creating that embodiment - complete with eight limbs! Ultimately, the model was going to be slightly less typical of a suit wrapped around a humanoid figure, with more emphasis on a 60/40 creature balance than the other way around. The idea being the creature drives the suit and gives off that creepy feeling rather than just some fancy "guy".<br />
<br />
One typical feature of Eldar Phoenix Lords is their "fabulously" large heads, or very distinctive styling exhibited in the head/shoulder pads/weaponry. This model is no exception. The head was streamlined, given a sinister narrowed glare and mandibles to suit - think camel spider, yet exaggerated.<br />

The backpack, typically being large and bulky, was going to be a challenge as the armatures would have to be exceedingly long to prevent the miniature from looking chunky and encumbered despite teleportation capabilities. It was decided to incorporate the backpack into the suit. With the vent ports built into the front and sides of the flexing armour structure, had to be thinned to move with the ebb and flow if the model was to look manoeuvrable enough. Webway nodules, as seen on normal backpacks were still included (shoulders) to keep that distinctive link.<br />

Given the Wraith Spider concept, it was decided that grenades would be "grown" out of the thigh plates through the Wraithbone itself. This saved having a bunch of dangly bits to cast individually given the already complex structure requirements. A slightly armoured carapace around the shoulders was also incorporated to tie back the typical Phoenix Lord exaggerated styling - a Warp Spider shrine rune was incorporated into one side, with a giant spirit stone on the other.<br />

The main weapon was a tricky design... most have a pipe leading back to the backpack itself, however with so many armatures, this was going to get very tangled with all those arms moving about. Instead, the design for a relic weapon, which incorporated its own power source was chosen... making it long, similar to a spinnerette rifle - however, as with most Phoenix Lords, an integrated double edged power axe was added giving the option of either hacking the bejesus out of its target, or going full "Chopper Reid" with a well placed armature shanking. This guy would have a ball in H-Division.<br />

The armatures were to be a defining feature, bringing the model up to eight limbs for a spider like appearance. Each blade however, needed to be reaching, scything (as a true power blade should) and powered. The nodules joining the blade to the armature were given a wraithbone organic look with gems to act like capacitors... or if you like... poison glands (flexibility was considered).<br />
<br />
Overall, a stylistic approach was considered at every turn to ensure this beast could move like one, change tactic on the fly and while remaining unique, incorporate as much of the existing Warp Spider feel without being clunky - it had to be the ultimate form of a fast and deadly creature.<br />

Steve and I have been in talks as to how this model will come to life once cast in white metal, let's just say the speed, evasiveness and accurate evisceration of its target will be represented in true cinematic styling.Dave Drinanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09711198988442003351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5354559540025489800.post-20418286286317334282017-04-28T17:00:00.001+10:002017-04-28T17:00:50.411+10:00The A-Team - Warp Spider Phoenix Lord ConceptSo some of you have asked where this gem came from. Well, it has been a consortium effort... made up of the following;<br />
<br />
1. Addinarr from Deviantart - The original concept mastermind. I found Addinarr's artwork many years ago and kept the photo in my archives for future reference. Sadly, I didn't know who the creator was back then. Thanks to reverse image search these days, I tracked him down to ask permission to turn his concept into a model. Ok... so the model had been started before hand - all the same he was kind enough to say "You definitely have the approval".<br />

2. Mariano Pagotti - With the help of a good mate, I was connected with Mariano to see the sculpt imagined. After the first image forming the body, I knew it was going to work, Mariano was the guy to do it.. and then some.<br />

3. Steve from <a href="http://thirdfatecreations.blogspot.com.au/">Third Fate Creations</a> - By now you would know of Steve's insanely good air brushing skills and knack for creating some incredible cinematic effects. Steve has been the man in charge of seeing my Super Heavy War Machines brought to life (from the Vampire Raiders/Hunter, to assorted Titans of various sizes).<br />

Steve has contacted me asking for a crack at the cinematics... and given our discussions today... well, regardless of which direction chosen, the beast is going to look amazing. As much as I'd love to blurt these concepts out, perhaps a little patience on my part may be worth it for everyone :)<br />
<br />

Thrilled? That's an understatement... Mariano has nailed this commission 10 fold over.<br />

probably the worst thing to use for something like this. More lighting
to go in the top and bottom to "fill" the case, not just the shelves. If
you want the high resolution images of what is here on the shelves, check the rest of the site as all the individual goodies are here (including the ones not unboxed yet!). Enjoy!<br />

After a number of concept art pieces were submitted to Mariano, an agreement was made to see how badarse the elusive model could be manifested to life. Afterall, no one likes anything done by halves in this hobby.<br />
<br />
So, with the cat out of the bag... or spider in this case, stay tuned for updates as this little ball of hurt grows into one of the missing pieces so wished for over the years.Dave Drinanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09711198988442003351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5354559540025489800.post-66953992747600085762017-04-06T08:01:00.000+10:002017-04-06T08:35:56.096+10:00Lights, Camera...Phase two complete... well almost. Lights have been added to the display case as the boxes are unpacked onto the shelves, which are filling up very quickly. Somehow, believe it or not the case will hold around 2400 miniatures - War Machines included. At the moment, there are roughly 1600 painted miniatures, with about 800 left (80% of those off to Titan Miniatures, with the remainder to my existing commissioned artists - the awesome bunch they are!).<br />

I'll admit, the first time I flicked the lights on, it was in "disco" mode, which, had I been epileptic... I'd have been in serious trouble. Perfect if you like to break out the glow sticks and party hard though, which I've been told the Eldar do a little too well <i>*cough*Slannesh*cough*</i>.<br />
<br />
One more strip along the top to get light down through the shelves and all will be ready for the glass doors - then the Titans can go up. For those of you shouting "why not now?!", if any of you have had little people in the house, you will know pretty things demand touching, and while mine is pretty good all said and told... I'd rather not play the role of hostage negotiator with one of a kind Titans ;)<br />

And as a bonus round, I had a dig through all my old Armorcast stuff on the weekend - this is a small portion of it, however I thought it may be worthy of a photo (note, half the Phantom and its addon kit is at a mates place). Yes that kit at the front is the ultra rare Bright Stallion Knight prototype.<br />

<br />
So I got sick of all the whining about "I can't see the TV", "Hey, Sputnik, got your head out of the way!", "Have you got any more snacks, or what?", deciding to build a display case in the living room... one where the aforementioned outbursts from the Dras'Volharr Craftworlders would be put to rest.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Somehow, in buying the house, I got lucky... and by lucky, I mean a double brick wall recess designed to hold over 100k of Eldar miniatures... seriously, its as if the space was destined for it. Guessing one of the Farseer's picked up on this upon inspection.<br />
<br />
After 12 months, searching high and low for a builder to do the job, furniture stores who may have had a solution etc - I gave up and started looking into how I could do the job myself. Two months later, multiple trips to IKEA, Bunnings, Jaycar and making a few connections in China... all the parts are ready (or in transit).<br />

A wall space of 3.6m wide, 2.45 high and 55cm deep has been turned into an 8.1m2 display area. Each plexiglass shelf sporting its own LED strip lighting, wardrobe style glass lockable doors and storage space below and above for the full Warhost to be seen, oooh'ed and ahhhh'd over while playing Dawn of War 3 on the UHD TV (well... that's my nice little dream come April 27th).<br />

<i>*Note, the 4mm difference is now levelled... much grumpiness went into it</i></div>
<br />
For a while now I've had people asking to see the full lot out on display and I've never had the space to do so... not to mention the time involved in unpacking so many miniatures - This is the kind of thing I'd like to limit in my lifetime. On the upside, it will give me back my fourth bedroom as a spare room, meaning if I've been naughty in buying the latest miniature for the Eldar collection I don't have to sleep on the couch haha (actually, I've never had this problem, bar the odd eye rolling moment).<br />

<br />
Ideally, I would like to have this all sorted out in the next month. With any luck, it will be ready before I kick off the next set of commissions with Titan Miniatures, so they have a space to return to once finished other than the back spare room!<br />
<br />
And let's not forget Helge and the upcoming work for the battlescape... he has certainly not been forgotten in all of this ;)<br />
<br />
Update: The shelves are now being populated!<br />

<br />
Thanks to a friend of mine, I've been put in touch with a very talented individual who has taken on the job to do just that! A Mr Mariano Pagotti. Below is an example of his work with the Eldar's primary enemy;<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
So what is this gap filling piece you ask? Well, for now that's a bit of a secret - although as a hint, its a piece many Eldar players have wondered about for a good long while now. Let's just say it will have a nice little bit of back history in the Dras'Volharr tome once drafted.<br />
<br />
On a side note, the display case is coming along nicely - having given up on the cabinet making industry, I decided to build it myself, for a total of 8.1 m2 of surface area over five shelves. The perks of building such a monster yourself is you can phase it in to suit a budget.<br />
<br />
Very much looking forward to seeing the Warhost displayed on plexiglass LED lit shelving with the future intent of Mr.Helge's battle scape acting as a backdrop in due course.<br />
<br />
Stay tuned, concept details to come over the next fortnight for this unique addition ;)Dave Drinanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09711198988442003351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5354559540025489800.post-18460277165231686242017-01-30T15:22:00.000+10:002017-01-30T15:27:26.195+10:00A New Contender - Titan MiniaturesAfter a lengthy hiatus (admittedly due to buying a house etc), this year's budget has been completed. So what does that mean for the Warhost? Let's just say a few things, probably the biggest though is a LONG discussed (last touched base over a year ago) proposal for the next major batch of miniatures to be painted, this time mostly armour and Rogue Trader miniatures.<br />
<br />
Who or which studio is taking on this two year tenure of goodness? Arawn from Titan Miniatures.<br />
<br />
A good deal of you have probably seen his work on Facebook pages over the years, however the lad is also a pretty keen 40k player (ranking 2nd in the Australian Independent Tournament Circuit!). A weapon with the brush and on the field ;)<br />
<br />
I've taken the liberty of showcasing a little of Arawn's work below, followed by a list of goodies to be started in July this year (2017);<br />

Now, many of you will know the previous works of Mr.Sergey, the Warp Spiders and howling Banshee Autarch. His Warp Spiders are one of the most sought after items and highest ranking post on this blog... just wait until I get them painted (yes, yes... I'm getting there... display case, then more paint). So, without further ado... the new Angry Birds!<br />

As always, they're gorgeous...<br />

For those of you unfamiliar with the Farseer, it is a fan made customer Dawn of War Taldeer... who got a makeover in the recent screen shots from DoW3, as a frickin Wraithknight incarnate - Yes, that's right... Taldeer, a Farseer as a Wraithknight. And you thought Eldrad was a dick. Prepare your anus monkey men.<br />
<br />
As for Mr.Ra, well.. I think he will look smug flanked by 50 of his Aspect Kin. Good times ahead!<br />

What are we looking at? Basically a collection of Jes Goodwin's sketches dating back almost two decades. I will say up front though, if you have kept up with White Dwarf and the various Eldar books over the years, 99% of the contents have been seen - There is very little in the way of new goodies, or material that hasn't been released already. In a nutshell, it's a nice compendium of Jes' works, and probably not all of them at that.<br />
<br />
Each page is littered with multiple angles of anything from the Fire Prism to Aspects to even the Forgeworld Nightwing Interceptor. The book itself would make a fantastic coffee table book, although given its limited edition nature, probably not the kind of collectable you want in the line of coffee stains or being worn down like a Woman's Day magazine at the local Doctors office. Definitely not at $83AUD a pop!<br />
<br />
What could have made this feel a bit more special and limited edition like? Perhaps consolidating original artworks from the likes of MG and Co (I still drool at these artworks and would kill for some of his originals), or perhaps sketches of ideas yet to be produced (or abandoned)... Never fear though, these glorious relics of the Eldar are still floating around the Internet (and kindly provided below).<br />

Who doesn't like the Vypers slightly bigger cousin packing twin f*&k off lasers? Actually my Vypers have been collecting a little dust, despite being the miniatures that got me into the game (along with the still very awesome Falcon - Style that has held up well over the past two decades).<br />
<br />
It has been a while between drinks, however progress is still happening in the background - albeit at a much slower rate until I get this shelving sorted out. The guest room is literally floor to ceiling with boxes of Eldar... not that I'm complaining mind you.<br />

Stay tuned for more pretties over the coming months and hopefully a photo of a full wall of Dras'Volharr beasties.Dave Drinanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09711198988442003351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5354559540025489800.post-80048705966946656812016-05-09T09:36:00.000+10:002016-05-09T09:36:07.275+10:00Hibernation... And Dawn of War IIIWell it has been a while since my last post here. With the new Dawn of War III announcement, I figured I best update this blog with where things are at. The project is still going, however buying a house and saving for display space has been prioritised before the rest is sorted out.<br />
<br />
Let's just say a lot has been finished off in bulk, and the dilemma of storage has become a very real problem. Life naturally has jumped in the way and kept my bank balance from affording the built in display case... which will take up a space of 50cm D, 330cm W and 220cm High. Yep, lots of shelving with glass sliding lockable doors. Not exactly cheap, but far more cost effective than anything else out there.<br />
<br />
Housing over 2200 miniatures is going to be an interesting feat to say the least, and given its in a darker spot of the house the shelves will need to be LED lit (hopefully in the Craftworld orange colours). No doing things by halves!<br />
<br />
So what happens beyond this? Well, the rest of the beasties have been batched out to be sorted year on year until the project is done. Originally, the 20th anniversary date was slated for November 2017, although this may be the absolute earliest the Warhost is finished by.<br />
<br />
Keeping in mind... there is an entire Harlequin contingent force yet to be dealt with... and those buggers are finicky to build let alone paint. I'm already dreading the repairs I have to do for the miniatures busted in transport... I may be a mad collector, however I'm not a mad modeler...<br />
<br />
GW and FW need to lay off all the new Eldar stuff, I can't keep up at this pace unless someone has a winning lotto ticket laying around. If so, please get in touch.<br />
<br />
For those of you who have missed it... here's the announcement trailer for Dawn of War III... keep an eye out for the Wraithknights of happiness around the 2 minute mark.<br />

Granted updates will be probably monthly or two monthly from here on in, especially with this "getting settled" into the new house business (which hit my bank account harder than the fist of an angry god. Kudos to the folks working on the Warhost for being so understanding and patient in that regard. Next step, finish outstanding payments, save for a cabinet, resume Warhost commissions.<br />

Not a bad effort considering the amount covered so far, it has been a crazy time. Made even more interesting by all the new releases the Eldar have had in the last two years. Seriously, we're now only missing the Exodites and all Eldar sub-types will be covered (CWE, DE, Corsairs, Harlequins... and Exodites). That would indeed make me a happy camper.Dave Drinanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09711198988442003351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5354559540025489800.post-17965787847305271722015-10-26T10:12:00.004+10:002015-10-26T10:12:45.509+10:00Arrrrrrr... ye' free Saturday night?

In the latest revamp of a golden oldie, we're getting all kinds of new happy fun time goodies... including access to Wraithknights with a slew of new weapons, Wraith Titans (rules to be confirmed) and a mix of general bad assery.<br />

These guys were due a couple of years back, however were put on the backburner for the HH gear and Warlord Titan. I'm glad we were forced to wait, as the CW Eldar got a major injection of fun, which can only translate over into goodies for the Corsairs. Anyone who has been up against these guys will know the pain they can bring in their current incarnation - They're very viable on the tabletop in present form... expect alot of Eldar players to convert over to these death dealers of the rum drinking variety.<br />

Having a full Corsair contingent myself (All my Titans and Vampire class flyers are of the Corsair variety), this makes me very happy in the pants.
