Eldar Wave Serpent

After finishing my Fire Dragons, I started work on the Wave Serpent that will be carrying them. The following pictures are the start of the process. Notably, I magnetized the weapons for the turret so I can switch between any of the weapon layouts for this guy.

It should be noted that my Eldar army is going to be done in Yme-Loc colors. So I have yet to finish the base coat. I will complete painting the driver before final assembly, and do the final assembly before completing the paint job on the rest of the model. I plan on making the grey areas flat but put a camouflage pattern in the orange areas.

Fire Dragons

In starting an eldar army, which I have been thinking about for over a year, I got a box of Fire Dragons and a ton of paint over labor day weekend and started to work. I was really focused on getting them complete in record time, having not really completed any of my other models yet. Below are the stages and the final versions of these models plus some individual highlights. I am very happy with the way these turned out and am very proud of the results.

Next on my list is a Wave Serpent in Yme-loc colors followed by a box of Dire Avengers. I'm still debating on my Avengers whether to equip the Exarch with the power weapon or diresword. I might try magnetizing the arms so i can switch them out as desired.
