A New Contender - Titan Miniatures

After 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.

Who or which studio is taking on this two year tenure of goodness? Arawn from Titan Miniatures.

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 ;)

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);

And the list? As follows;

9x Wraithknights (four of the FW variety)
20x Wraithlords (12 new, 6 old, 2 Spirit Walkers)
100+ Rogue Trader Harlequins
230+ Rogue Trader Guardians (including Jetbikes and some very old characters)
40+ New style Harlequins
30x 3rd Party Warp Spiders
30x 3rd Party Swooping Hawks
20x Armorcast Wave Serpents

...and to top it all off...

MK1 & 2 FW Scorpions & Cobra Super Heavy Tanks
3x FW Lynx Super Heavy Tanks
plus a bunch of new style Wraithguard (more than likely)

Tsunami of Serpents - Eldar Wave Serpent Production Line

You may recall I sent off a batch of tanks to a mate up North for assembly and painting last year - Well Clinton has been a busy lad having been churning out the Wave Serpents (with many pieces of Armour to go bwahaha). Below is a work in progress image of the pieces in a pre-assembly state. Keeping in mind this is about a quarter of the Wave Serpents alone ;)

I dare say there are a lot of folks out there screaming about the amount of Wave Serpent shields this can fire in a single round.

... A paint scheme is chosen... (Part 4)

The (almost) final chapter to the standard Eldar Warhost. Note, I say almost because i've not yet embarked on the Warmachine side of things, of which there are over 20 to be sorted out.

Instead, this is the WIP scheme allocated to all non-super heavy vehicles. My mate back North graciously offered to do the full build/magnetisation/painting of my tanks, walkers and flyers. All paid for in plastic crack (with some other "thank you" gifts thrown in of the more exotic variety - no, not that).

Big props go to Clinton for his very neat work with an airbrush and insane patience! Love you long time mate.
