I should do a gallery post of my oldhammer 2nd era Eldar. My focus then was more on individual models rather than an army, but I have some fun stuff there - like a Janet Jackson inspired exarch... 😁

Perhaps next weekend!

It was 2nd edition era that I originally bought the bit from mail service - wanted to do a Dark Reaper themed exarch. Exarchs were complete cheese, but so many fun conversion possibilities. It just took me 30 years to get to it. 😅

Not mad though - still love it as a centerpiece to my army display.

Just elements of the Billy bookcase line from Ikea - in this case with glass shelves and a set of glass paneled doors from the display cabinet (see here before I added lighting).

I don't think this army will ever be "finished". I can always find more to paint for it... 😅

Salvatrix @devsalvatrix.bsky.social · 1d

This is the centerpiece of my miniature collection - a massive Biel-Tan Warhost! I started this particular army in 2014 with the express goal of painting quickly to a tabletop standard.

Flashback Feb 2022 - GW unveiled the Serpent Scale for Aeldari Guardians with retro callback to the original epic Wave Serpent. I loved it and had some of those metal old bits... and so I made a couple of "old school" versions. 😎

Finally... I held onto this old Dark Elf Man O War ship prow for AGES, wanting to someday build a jetbike conversion around it. Finally made this Autarch on a Skyrunner last year - just in time for GW to remove it as a codex option! 😭

And plenty of fast attack options in my Windhost.

Also some supporting elements - with all the weapons here being magnetized for easy reconfiguration of weapon options. I still have a couple of unpainted Falcons still waiting to join as well...

I also love rangers and corsairs, and have quite a few, old and new, including tracking down Amallyn Shadowguide from Blackstone Fortress!

While no Biel-Tan force would be complete without plenty of representation from the Aspect Shrines! I still have new Warp Spiders, Fire Dragons, Swooping Hawks, and Phoenix Lords to be painted. And someday, perhaps an Avatar of Khaine.

Of course, Guardians and Autarchs are the backbone of a Craftworld's Warhost, and I have plenty to field.

I suppose I could possibly do with another Wraithlord or two for this Spirit Host, and someday... a Wraithknight!

I particularly love collecting Farseers, Spiritseers, and Warlocks - including a few original lead castings here in the upper right.

Got the Aeldari figure from Warhammer+ just to immediately commit heresy and put it on a more playable base! 😂

Also picked up the ranger figure from the Blackstone set because it is lovely. Hope to find painting time soon...

I don't have much purple anymore, having sold off my Khemri a while back and never having photographed it. I really should rectify this too overlooked color in my collection.

So have some super old school GW!

SO MUCH FLOOF!

Salvatrix @devsalvatrix.bsky.social · 10d

Making me want to watch it again. I haven't seen it since it originally released in theaters. Emma Thompson has always been one of my favorite actors.

I recognize the Warhammer+ model, but not the other two - are they kitbashed? Lovely work!

You can't just end here, 3/3. This is clearly the beginning of a tale, not it's conclusion!

That series is so pitch perfect in tone, an absolute masterpiece.

Except for the rock songs. Worst fucking music choice in a TV show since the Faith of the Heart shit (and honestly, these music choices are even worse than Enterprise).

But otherwise? It's so goddamn amazing!

Oh, nice, they actually triggered the payment processing before deciding they had insufficient stock - $50 now held in a "pending" transaction.

Amateur hour. I feel I will need to monitor this now and make sure they release the funds because it's so clearly no reason to trust their competence. 🫤

And for all that cash... you would think their website might be less terrible?

I went to buy the ltd edition Necron novel and NOTHING indicates it is sold out. Let's you go through the whole purchase process before cancelling your order AFTER final processing to tell you there is insufficient stock

I won't have time to see it until Saturday night - so excited (hoping I can avoid spoilers)!
