HQ Eldar - First wave on its way home

As most of you know, the Warhost is completely commission painted by a number of artists globally. 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 - Limbo Miniatures - As you might imagine, running your own business takes up a fair chunk of time :)

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!

See below for a line up of all the models to date Vincent has completed for the Dras'Volharr...

Resurgence - The hiatus ends

Well, it certainly has been a while since my last post. Sadly life throws things at you when least expected and we must adapt on the fly. So to all the fans out there, thank you for your patience while i've been relocating, pulling my life back together.

So there have been a few things happening in the background over the last month and now they're here for you to see in all their glory.

First up, the Wraithseer - Paying Giger homage after his recent unfortunate passing, Vincent spent 40 hours making sure this guy oozed a sense of presence on the battlefield.

Secondly, the Vampire Hunter/Raiders - Steve has finished these guys off, scenic bases done, magnetising and just all round bad arse. The lad is currently on holidays (well deserved), however at last note he was building the Revenant Titans (four Forge World types) and prepping the two Phantoms. Expect great things to come with these up and coming war machines.

Third off the rank, Elliot is chipping away at the scenic terrain for the theme table being built.

Fourth, the Flyers are in full swing with Matt, having 16/20 well under construction/prepping.

And finally, Navin from PaintedFigs.com has sent out the sample images of the Swooping Hawks - his new blood certainly is impressive and they've been cleared for mass production... watch the skies indeed.

... Scenic bases chosen (and on their way!)...

After mucking about looking for decent "Eldar-ish" scenic bases, i've settled on Scibors offering and purchased enough of the following to cover all HQ models being sent down to Vincent.

I bought one each of the 60mm offerings, however i'm not sure which one would suit the best (regarding the Avatar and Wraithseer). Both have to be mounted on 60mm bases, although I did have some image of the Wraithseer posed with a hand on the spire in the first large base image (with the pointy column). As if peering around the side, searching.

Personally, I think Scibor should do an oval sized base for the Wraithknights... I can really see them looking sensational on that scenery. Let me know what you think!
