Those are the older epic scale ForgeWorld Warhound titans. Second one in the list at https://miniwars.co.uk/epic-40k/miniatures/adeptus-mechanicus/warhound-titan/

 

Title says it... Finally got around to painting some Epic: Armageddon Warhounds that I still had lying around. Can't wait to field them against my son's 'Nids.

Why would he sell his Eldar? Don't people usually just start a second, third or tenth army?

Heh, it's a large round base, looks like a round icon ;). Is 6mm scale allowed to enter?

Thanks, mate :)

Painting them is fun... Kind of. I dig the design of the vehicles, which is why I got the models in the first place. However, they're sooooo unforgiving. With a lot of other armies (Necrons, Tyranids, Orks) being dirty and/or organic, they just never look "wrong" when you make smaller mistakes. My Eldar, however, are never as I imagined them, just because the brushes are never sharp enough and my hand's never calm enough. At some point I just accepted that this is all I can do with the equipment and the time I have right now. Guess for me, coming to terms with my own limits is part of the experience of painting Eldar. ;)

Thank you so much 😊

Yeah, it's pretty much the appeal of 6mm 40k for me... Much less detail on the infantry is required to make an army look good. Vehicles still require at least some amount of work to look decent, but as even they are smaller than ordinary 28mm models, even those are faster to finish. Wrap up an army with two or three superheavy tanks and a single titan as the eyecatcher and it's done.

The bases are all done by gluing bird sand down and painting it.

Infantry strips are the e40k/ea era gw bases:

Superheavy bases in the image are still the 60mm/1mm gw plastic round bases, but I recently bought some mdf replacements since I ran out of them and they can't be told apart once they're painted:

Small round infantry and skimmer bases are just 5 cent coins 😅:

I know, right? "In the chibi smallity of the future, there is only cuteness!"

Sure. Not much to see there, though... With those little buggers being the size they are, it's essentially just grey, brown and orange with highlights for the guardians and some blue/white elements for the farseer's energy weapons.

 

First 1000 points are done on my Eldar, so here's a pic :) .

Thoughts?

Have you ever actually read it? The prophecies were deliberately spread over the universe by the Bene Gesserit. The department that does that is called the Missionaria Protectiva, they do that all over the universe so their members can manipulate the locals to be safe wherever they end up. This isn't supposed to glorify those prophecies, it's demystifying them to the point where religion as a whole is showcased as a mere tool to control the masses in later books. It's supposed to criticise the thing you're criticising.

I'm not saying your truck in particular is a status symbol, I'm saying trucks are status symbols and therefore generally expensive. If you're in the US, it's hard to find something like a Honda Acty and you'll always pay for the machine to be oversized.

I'm also not saving EVs have no drawbacks at all. The drawbacks they have are, however, manageable. A car will always be a compromise, and the fact that electric cars have to be charged is something that can be dealt with.

 

After having essentially a full Eldar army sitting around for years, I finally got my oldest son into the game and started painting them to have a third army to pick (you know, for some variety). Decided to use the grey/orange Yme-Loc paint scheme because I like the design of the Eldar superheavies and their rules allow me to field some more. What do you think?
