Thread: Another Eldar Exodite log

Okay, so I said more on Friday, and as it's Friday I think I'll just leave these here.....

Beautiful army by the way and I love your display board idea, really looking forward to seeing that come along.

Sooo....long time no updates...but this hasn't been forgotten.

Firstly I finished the crimson hunter. It's had a bit of a redesign since the WIP photos.
I rebuilt the pilot using a Reaver jetbike pilot and handlebars, then the back armour was changed from plates cut from a support weapon platform to plates cut from the guardian platform to match the Avatar's. I also added the hip parts from the war walker for some extra details.






Then comes the shadow weaver platforms. The previous WIPs were a bit rough. I decided to replace the heads of the Knarloc with the head and neck of a cold one, then sculpted scales in the same rough places as the cold ones. The armour is built from the support platform base itself, supported with milliput. Be aware that they still need detailing (straps/gems etc.)




Finally some work on the armies on parade board. All the bridges and supports are in place, although the central platform is still removable to make it easier to install the plasma ball and to detail the area.
The foam has been carved, and covered with a papier-mâché with polyfilla and black paint added to start the rock texture.
The turrets are mock ups while I wait for some wave serpent turrets and electronic components to arrive - the turrets will eventually rotate 250 degrees clockwise, then automatically reverse themselves while there is power. The turrets will also light up with blue LEDs.
The generators will have a decahedron crystal mounted in the middle with a fading blue LED mounted inside.

That board looks amazing!

Didn't realise it's been so long since the last update, well that's what holidays will do for you!
All has not been forgotten though, and I appear to have reached a few milestones without realising.

Firstly with the army itself I've finished the modelling of the shadow weaver beast and their handlers





These are the next on the painting bench so hopefully should be done before the middle of June.

Most of the progress has been with the armies on parade board.













Handrail stanchions, rails, plasma ball and floor detailing is all installed, next job will be fun with electronics- build the circuit for the generators, wire up the plasma ball and build the cradle for the turret motors. Then onto the paint!
