What parts did you use to make your Khaine statue? It looks magnificent!

The Avatar statue is the original Rogue Trader era Avatar model mounted on an Armorcast plinth. Pretty simple. I did get lucky though. Snagged the Avatar off of ebay for peanuts. They are normally pretty hard to get.
Happy New Year all!
Well. Not as much done as I'd hoped but progress has been made!
Command Night Spinner :
Command Warp Hunter :

Additionally, we have the next Engine of Vaul for the Craftworld.
The Cobra Mk II :
Now that these are out of the way, I'll get the remaining two Night Spinners and two Warp Hunters done before the next three Fire Prisms!
Hope you like!
Yay! My Wraithseer, Shadow Spectres and additional Hornets have arrived!
Jesus, how much do you earn!?

Jes Goodwin once said he doesn't like the word "fluff". Thus I will call it "lore" instead.
Heh heh, not enough mate. This was a large-ish order that'll do me for a while. I've kinda stockpiled minis over the years which accounts for most of my army. My Eldar are the only large scale, Apoc class army I will build. As such I will slowly make it huge!
Yeah well, done and done, eh mate.......?!?!?!Originally Posted by Son of Russ
I can't fet'king believe how many Grav tanks you own.....Can't wait to see them all done and painted and a full shot again of your expanded army....except, lets see those undone bases done soon. I really like your basing scheme and think it compliments your army colors and display standard enormously.....
Once the whole things done up complete ( and based:P ) it will be a thing of beauty.
P.S. totally gonna steal your psychic markers idea for the at least the "Doom" rune, probably the others as well! Only in my case it's not MY forgetting the psychic abilities that's the problem, it's one or two of the opponents at the local GW store who will throw a fit, madly declaring you cast it on a totally different squad or not at all when I prepare to roll the dice.some people don't know how to play (loose) graciously.
Your solution will neatly curb the problem and get my Eldar back on track.
Thanks

Heh heh, yeah, I reckon. Still got all the Titans to build and paint yet. I intend to get a few more Lynx in time and will save up for a FW Phantom to go with the Armorcast one I have.
I love my tanks. (Does it show?) Once I have everything done for the Apoc game in two weeks, I'll most likely start the rebasing process. Quite a lot of models but I recently received a large order from Jeff at Dragonforge with another on the way. Should be fairly sussed for bases for a wee while.
My pleasure Mate, take the idea! S'what forums and plogs are for in my opinion! I like having the markers as I never forget to cast them and always remember what squad I've cast them on! As do my opponents! Sounds like you have an interesting bunch at your local store.P.S. totally gonna steal your psychic markers idea for the at least the "Doom" rune, probably the others as well!

Gonna have to sort out a couple of new one for Warlock powers I reckon after talking with Fable about some of his experiances. They'll be far off I think, as I don't use Warlocks too often at the moment.
The work of the Bone Singer continues apace!
2 more Night Spinners are ready!
Additionally, 2 more Warp Hunters are complete!
Now, tomorrow will be spent building 3 more Fire Prisms and maybe, just maybe, I'll wash and clean the Pulsar Lynx.
Yes because Lord knows the one thing your army needs is more tanks.
But seriously, great job. It's nice to see someone tackle so many big pieces with such gusto, good job.
Also it may just be the reflections in your latest photos but it seems your getting a nice broader range of deep shadows and brighter highlights on the bronze pieces of your latest tanks. If so nice work because it really looks good and brings out the detials and convex surfaces of those Eldar shaped dreadnaughts.
If it is a trick of the light, then forgive my assumptions, but shoot for it more deliberately because it looks cracking!
The only constructive critisism thing I would say is that the black seems too heavily drybrushed in the last photo or two with too heavy of gray "texture" across the larger panels, which seems to be a bit jarring and not "jive" with the otherwise smooth metal and bone finishes.
Then again they may look slightly different under normal lighting, lord knows my photography drowns out all but the highest extreme highlights on my mechrite red tau armor, despite three additional highlight layers painstakingly painted, so who knows....
anyways great work, keep it up. I want to see some of those tanks based using your basing scheme, I expect those to look marvelous!
P.S. make sure to take lots of photos and notes from your Apoc game so we can get some neat play by play and a good look at how it goes down!
"In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, ....and I wouldn't have it any other way."
I gave the metallics a slightly heavier drybrush of Shining Gold with a heavier wash of chestnut ink. I think it looks a touch better.
The grey is washout from the flash. It tends to happen with my photography. It may benefit from a wash of badab black.
Once I have all the tanks painted for the Apoc, I shall be doing a massive batch paint job of the new bases to mount them on. My Scorpion will also be remounted. I've decided the super heavies will be on oval flying bases with a 13mm clear acrylic rod for them to sit on. Much less chance of snapping it's support then!
Well then. An evening clipping pieces off of sprues and cleaning mould lines had the end result of having three Fire Prisms built and ready for priming. That'll be tomorrows job.
I also got the Pulsar Lynx cleaned up. Some inconvenient mould lines removed and the pieces are all drying, ready to be pinned and primed tomorrow.
I will say this. As much as I love my Scorpion and Cobra, the way the Lynx goes together is just beautiful! Any further Super Heavy Grav tanks I buy in the future may well be Lynx only, I like it that much!
Arithyms tank fleet expands once more, readying for the Apoc fight tomorrow.
Three more Fire Prisms!
Our third Super Heavy is complete!
The Lynx!
Hope you like!
lovely work!

Very nice army. I especially like your psychic powers markers. Keep it up
Just out of curiosity, how many points army do you have?
Thank you both very much!
Thanks! I'm really pleased with the army as a whole and the psychic markers mean no missed Powers now! Yay!Very nice army. I especially like your psychic powers markers. Keep it up
Just out of curiosity, how many points army do you have?
As for how big the army is, the painted stuff totals up to approximately 7,385 points. I think it's about 19 to 20 thousand points all together!
The Fight!
Setup consisted of ta huge fleet of Eldar tanks, a trio of titans and a brood of Tyranid Gargantuan Creatures.
Turn two and the carnage is extreme. The Eldar forces have the Phoenix Court and a mighty Tau Manta to back them up!
By the end of turn two, the Phantom and two Revents are destroyed, two going in Apoc Explosions! The Eldar tank fleet is no more.
The Phantom shall be returning tomorrow for turn three thanks to Assets!
