Eldar Swooping Hawk Exarch

Finally! Took me 3 nights to get this done. Had a lot of problems with the base and how the model is assembled. The Wing dropped twice when I was painting it and the foot broke from the base, requiring me to reglue it back on after filing the foot a little. Think I did that 5 times. *ugh*

The Swooping Hawks are a highly mobile aspect, representing the birds of prey from ancient Eldar legends. They wear complex sets of wings which allow them to enter the battlefield at critical points and lend firepower support. Like the Banshees, the Hawks sacrifice durability for greater mobility. Their lasblasters make them excellent harassment units against light infantry (such as Imperial Guard or Orks). Also of note, they wield cleverly designed grenade launchers on their legs, which allow them to bomb enemy units as they fly into the battle. The swooping hawks are also equipped with haywire grenades which are very effective at disabling any vehicle making swooping hawks a great anti-armour choice as well. The Phoenix Lord of the Swooping Hawks is known as Baharroth, The Cry of the Wind.

Ok. some might say that I went overboard with the Gemstone effect but I love painting them.

Sorceress

Ok another one done in a day. I still can’t get my blending right. It’s so flaky. I think I need to use wet blending technique which requires the paint to be kept wet. The dry air here in the US is not good for blending. I remember not having problems like this in Malaysia. Guess the air is humid there.

 So here we go, pastel color scheme.

Lava Rock Earth Elemental

After 10 years of hiatus, I’m finally back painting miniatures. I find it very relaxing and allows me to concentrate in peace. Very therapeutic. So here’s my first miniature, an Earth Elemental that was designed a long long time ago. I can’t even remember where I got it from but it has the inscription G.W. at the bottom of the base. Don’t think it’s Games Workshop because the base is a metal base and Games Workshop miniatures typically come with plastic bases.

here it is, please excuse my shoddy sub-par shading. It’s been a while

What do you think?
