The old Eldar metal figures are still my favourites, and with the exception of the vehicles and a few squads are all from this era.
There is something about a metal model in your hand that feels lkike you are playing with toy soldiers. I just love the smell of lead in the morning!
The Aeldari Aspect Warriors known as the Striking Scorpions epitomise the deadly attributes of their namesake, and they are the most skilled of all the close-assault Warrior Aspects on the Aeldari Path of the Warrior.
They are merciless killers without exception, reveling in the hunt and the kill, using stealth and shadow to cloak themselves from sight until the moment of attack.
The Striking Scorpions represent the wrath of the War God Kaela Mensha Khaine, which can fall without warning and with extraordinary savagery upon his foes. 40k Wiki
Looking good. I do like the Eldar as a faction.
Obviously they are also a favourite of mine.
Great work Dave, like the conversion model in the middle, being the old Reaper exarch
Thanks Dave they have come up OK.
Very nice work.
Cheers,
Pete.
Thanks Pete
This brings back very happy memories! I painted up a ton of both dark and regular Eldar for my boys back when we first started playing 40K (circa 2005?). Most of the stuff was plastic then, but the Striking Scorpions where all metal!
You are very correct about the feel of metal when playing.
For some reason I also find that metals paint up easier and give a better finish. Maybe it’s just bias and wishful thinking!
