Rank & File month
This month I decided to paint a classic Eldar miniature in my own style. The iconic cover from the 2nd edition Eldar codex is something that every old schooler will be familiar with. There have been numerous artist who have done their take on the Dire Avenger Exarch from the cover of that beautiful 2nd edition Eldar codex.
This codex filled so many players with dread (including myself). When this codex came out I was firmly entrenched into the Dark Angel's. When I started my Eldar project last OWAC I knew that I wanted to paint up my take on this glorious miniature.
I am pretty happy with the way the final paint job came out and I have another one set aside for me to convert up to truly match the cover.
Next up I have a mix of Rogue Trader and 2nd edition Dire Avengers. I really love the contrast between the white helmets, red plumes and the blue armor. This unit was a lot of fun to paint up and I know I want to do another one in the near future.
The next two months will be fun and full of painting deadlines. Congratulations to everyone who has made it this far. Hang in there, focus when you can on painting to take a mental break from the real world.
