Farseer Idranel

Here she is,

The inspiration for this piece came from the Dawn of War II trailer, in which a Farseer executes the last surviving member of a Blood Ravens squad by driving her spear into his chest. She then rises in a pillar of energy with two orbs of energy in her hands. The concept was simple, but the miniature took more than a month to assemble from the date I began assembling components.
First off JB Weld rocks! I used it all over the model and it's an OCD crafters best friend. The Blood Raven comes from a space marine 3X pack, I had to cut his arms off and reglue/mold them into the right pose. I painted him before I attached him so that he would have a more realistic look when placed in the dirt, as it was I ended up removing his backpack.
The Farseer was by far the most fun. Her Staff broke off at the end which was just as well because I needed to make it a Singing Spear anyway (JB). Her feet got messed up when I removed her base, so I filed them down and made new ones (JB). The stand is a sprue that I twisted to make it look like an ethereal pillar. The orbs are made from left over JB Weld that I rolled, glued, and finally painted.
Now that I've finally finished her I have to say I'm very pleased with how she turned out. And in her first game she single-handedly defeated a Necron Monolith with her Singing Spear... me thinks she was worth the points. Thanks to my friend Stefan, for the game and the photographs.

Enjoy all

Nothing this week

---Just a quick update---

I lost my camera, and I won't get it back until next week. I have one project done and another coming soon. Be ready for Striking Scorpions!

The Avatar of Khaine

So this all began when I was reading my codex and I came across the Avatar entry. The whole concept really struck me, and I kept visualizing what an Avatar would look like in my army. For those of you who don't know me, I really like infantry, and the way they look on a game table. I feel in love with the Eldar when I saw the Swooping Hawks, and well it was pretty much the same for the Avatar.
Having never seen an actual Avatar in action, I was somewhat at a loss as to what exactly he looked like. When I finally did find photos of the GW model I was sorely disappointed. Now I like GW and usually their models are of very high caliber, but the Eldar Avatar was a real let down. It only stands slightly taller than a Farseer, and the proportions are way off. I also found the Forgeworld model online, but since my money growing oak tree died, I was a little short.
Enter Super Sculpy, JB Weld, electric fence wire, tooth picks, and two months later Viola!

A bit about me

Hi all,

I was inspired to start this blog, after watching Auxelli0n's: Talking about Tyranids. I do some scratch building, a bit of terrain, and some conversions. So feel free to comment and criticize, I know some of my stuff needs work, but i like playing with it so much I find it hard to force myself not to use it until it's ready.
I've been playing Warhammer 40k for about a year now, my army is Eldar, Ulthwe craftworld. I just bought the Fantasy rulebook, and I plan on starting a Warriors of Chaos army very soon. I am a HUGE fan of infantry, and don't really care for tanks much (disregard this if you are seeking tactical advise), not because of their effectiveness, but just because I like the looks of infantry better.
I play Warhammer because I like the lore, and the camaraderie, I don't play to win, but when I do that's nice too.
