Eldar tactica; your painted and converted miniatures
Following on from his Eldar stage-by-stage article, Adam Troke has penned Eldar: Eldar Tactics, which looks at each of the units available to an Eldar player and provides tactics for each. Adam also managed to convince Glenn More (winner of this year's Warhammer 40,000 Games Workshop staff tournament) to share his Eldar army list and tactical expertise with you.
As I mentioned yesterday, we've been sent dozens of emails and hundreds of pictures of the hobby projects you've been working on over the holiday period. Here's a look at a few of my favourites:
-
William Petty converted this Steam Tank for his Middenheim army. He found an old White Dwarf with an article featuring a Helbalster Volley Gun equipped Steam Tank, and thought 'it might be better suited to clearing out a few acres of the Drakwald than a traditional cannon'.
-
Dennis Duszynski painted this Crisis Battlesuit Commander to lead his Tau force. He painted all of the markings and Tau symbols by hand, and is rightly proud of the fact that 'no decals were used'. Dennis felt the subdued orange was bright enough to be interesting but subtle enough to work as urban camouflage.
-
Andrew Brown sent me this picture of his converted Wolf Lord, Bjorn Stormwolf. He made the thunder hammer from a Dwarf Engineer's great weapon and the storm shield using the large shield from the King Alrik and Shieldbearers set. Andrew sculpted the wolf cloak and talismans from Green Stuff.
-
Another of Andrew's models, this Long Fang Pack Leader uses the legs from an old metal Long Fang model, the head from a Catachan Captain and various plastic Space Marine components from Andrew's bitz box. As an extra touch, Andrew bulked out the model's boltgun.
-
Tom Welch was given a Vampire Counts Battalion for Christmas and has been busy assembling units of Zombies. Having 'looked at different ways to represent a musician', he couldn't resist using the crosspiece from the Zombie set's banner as a yoke to hold a set of bells.
-
This was the first unit of Ghouls Tom modelled. He combined Empire Flagellant parts with Ghoul arms and heads. He thinks 'these look really effective. Plastic is a great medium to work with and I love to mix sets around'. Click on the image to see another of Tom's Zombie units.
