Wave Serpent

This is one I did a couple of years back now. When I first started collecting Eldar, Wave Serpents never existed, and it sucked. Now I'm pretty sure every Eldar player has at least 2-3 of these kicking around. I stay loyal to my other Falcons, but wouldn't say no to another.

It is such a sweet model. I love most of the Eldar range, and their tanks are just awesome.

The challenge I set myself this time was some free hand work on the lightning bolts. I think they turned out reasonably well.

I am also a big fan of getting into the cockpits, and other neat details GW throws into their tanks. It's a pity there's no other interior for the actual transport compartment. 

Armament was a tough choice for this one. The Bright Lances are not glued, and I have other guns in various stages of painting. Pairing them with a Shuriken Cannon is a bit odd, but I like have versatility. 

And to play it out, a view from the front and back:
 

 

Assault Marines

This week I've pulled some minis that don't usually see the light of day. I was really enthusiastic when painting them at first. Then I used them in battle and, against Tau, they really don't do any good. 

Dark Angels Assault Marines

These are the older models, not the cool new kit. They still look very cool though. I did throw a Dark Angels power sword on the sergeant. One of these days he'll get to use it. 

I'm pretty please with the results, they are by no means competition styles but they look good on the table. Please forgive the mold lines. I got lazy... Also trying to put transfers on a curved surface is nigh-impossible! Seeing as my buddy, whose Marines these are (I'm painting and storing them), got the transfer sheet from Forgeworld, I'm going to use them. 

 

Here's your token front-on shot, also know as the "first turn look" before they're all dead. And below, proving that I do finish every last bit, the backs.
