So, that Epic Eldar army I started a few months back. It’s finally done! My Epic Eldar army is, at last, both finished and photographed. The first 5725 points took about two months to paint up. The remaining 390 took about another two months. But now they are all done at last. So here are [...]

Falcons
Well, the Falcon Grav-tanks I ordered from Forge World have arrived at last. The first two packs arrived on Friday last week; the other three came this morning. I’ve already painted the ones that arrived last week, so now I just need to do these as well, along with a troupe of Fire Dragons to [...]
Painting, Ebay, Raiders
I’ve been making good progress painting up my Epic Eldar. All I need to paint is nine Falcon Grav-tanks and I’ll have 4,000 points done. Unfortunately, however, my Falcons are still on back order from Forge World and may take another week or two to arrive yet. I’ll paint up a few other things in [...]
The Painting Continues
But posting here every time I get another formation painted is going to get too much very quickly. So I’m only going to post major updates here, when I reach significant milestones (like having 3000 points painted or something*). If, however, you do want to see each new formation as I paint it, there’s a [...]
Eldar: The beginning
So, having made a start on my Epic Eldar, I thought I’d post a few photos of them. So here they are. First up, a basic Guardian warhost. And for clarity, here’s a side shot of one of the guardian stands: Next up, four stands of Wraithguard: And finally, the Avatar of Khaela Mensha Khaine, [...]
Injury, Painting and Wave Serpents
On Wednesday night, I was cleaning up some models with a scalpel, and I got up to get some more from out of the box. I’m still not sure how, but somehow the scalpel slipped out of my hand and fell through the second toe of my right foot. I use the word ‘through’ quite [...]
Eldar and ‘Puter
So, I now have an Eldar army for Epic Armageddon. The models from GW arrived on Tuesday and those from Forge World arrived this morning. Except, unfortunately, for the Falcon grav-tanks, which will apparently be sent later. Meanwhile my computer is up and running again, now that I’ve replaced the motherboard (and the RAM, while [...]
Painting
So I finally got around to painting something again last week. After getting the Elf Blood Bowl (or rather ‘Gridiron’, Blood Bowl being a ®) team from Shadowforge, I got to painting them at a pretty good rate — painting a model most days — and had got most of them finished when I stopped. [...]
Burp
I have now had my hands on Chaosium’s new Basic Roleplaying rulebook for a fortnight or so, and so I’ve had a proper chance to read it and see if it’s any good. My feelings are mixed. First impressions are good. It’s a weighty tome (400 pages) and nicely presented. The artwork ranges from okay [...]
Relocation (and other things)
So I’ve been back in Witney for over 24 hours, and pretty much all I’ve unpacked is my computer and my paints. Everything else is all across the floor in cases and bags, so that I can hardly move in here. Where the hell am I going to put all this stuff? Aside from my [...]
