So we've gotten past a fried hard drive and a vacation - I'm home, computer is repaired, new pictures loaded up and here we go! More Eldar Corsairs for your viewing pleasure. Above are some Kabalite Warriors in old-school outfits, ready to unleash a ton of poison shots.
Some heavy hitters, Warwalkers assembled and ready for paint. I'll attach the bases to 60mm ones once they're painted, but it's just easier keeping them on the 40s for stability with pegs (the 60s are flat). Behind them are some guardians, scorpions, jetbikes and characters.
Speaking of characters, here they are at present. From left to right: Warlock, Farseer, Duke Sliscus counts as (old harlie figure), Autarch.
Same, without flash.
Rangers. At first I was going to convert Dark Elf corsairs more directly, giving them guns, but after an initial foray decided it would be easier and look better to just give some guardians the cloaks. Some chopping later they fit well on the old lasgun-wielding guardian bodies.
Back view, showing the cloaks.
I'm thinking of doing them up with jungle bases, both to tie in with the colors and to continue the Phantom tie ins.
Your force is shaping up well. It seems that there is something in the water that is making the Eldar players more active. Also, consider the Las-gun armed guardians with corsair cloaks idea stolen.

They've been slowly taking shape for years, but 6th ed allowing Eldar/DE to be played together and the new book kicked them up the project list.
DeleteI assume you already have a number of the old dudes, hope the cloaks work out for you!
I don't have the one pose plastic one like yours but I do have a bunch of the metal guardian with the plastic arms I can arm with the old eldar lasguns.

I'm really digging how this is coming together - love seeing the old school minis again!
ReplyDeleteKeep up the great work!
Thanks man! If I could squeeze in the harlies like I originally wanted or some storm guardians you'd see even more old figs!
DeleteLooking good! You got me thinking of a way to make some the other day too -- thinking of trying to use fantasy corsairs with DE wych and warrior bits to make pirate-flavored storm guardians. We'll see. Add that to my long list of projects to maybe someday get around to...
ReplyDeleteThanks! Look forward to seeing those...someday!
