Almost a decade ago I was very active in the hobby, I have since change country and my whole life took a different direction. But the little toy soldiers never completely vanished from my mind. It was during the time of the fourth edition of the game that i was mostly active. I was going to tournament and was part of a club. The eldar were my army of choice and I had a consequent force, roughly 4000 pts painted. It was an Ulthwé gardian army supported with a couple of aspect shrines and war machines. I had a lot of fun with it.
But after such a long hiatus, i wasn't going back to the same army. After the revamp of the dark eldar i bought myself a few kits and played with it. I loved the idea of mixing the crafworlders and the dark citizen of Commoragh.
And then Forgeworld released the Doom of Mymeara and with it the eldar corsair list. I found the perfect list and mix of both the Eldar race.
And despite the obsolete book, I continue to put my army together. Hoping for a really good and fun update.
I'm not playing anymore, I just moved to a new city (Copenhagen) and haven't yet connected with the clubs and gaming centre here. But i really want to finish the project to build a full army of the Void Dragon corsair.
Through all those years of eldar collection I have got a lot of unique bits and pieces for conversions. And when I started to assemble the troopers of my force it became apparent that I wanted this to be special in many regards. So I converted all the miniatures as much as my skills allowed me. And magnetised almost all the heads. So i could swap them around and give even more personality to the miniatures. I really love that...
The following pictures are showing my progress and none of the miniatures are 100% finished. I really have to motivate myself to spend the time highlight them and paint the gems.
Here is one of the Felarch he comes with a lot of different components from dark eldar whych to dire avengers and dark elves.
The heavy gun of the squad, this head is from the pilot of the void dragon phoenix from Forgeworld. She has a modified jet pack for a better mobility with the shruriken cannon.
And the specialist, I converted the flamer from the guardian platform gunner and gave him a augmetic leg made of a wraith guard arm, after all those guys are pirates and very pirate band have a wooden leg somewhere. I'll post better pictures in another post.
