No new painting but have built some things

Not a lot of painting since I finished my Orlocks (yet), but I have assembled a couple of models in my plan to get a Deathwatch army together:

Everyone needs a Chief Apothecary. Yes I know the Primaris one is better points wise but I've had this arm and backpack for like .. ever ... since the Command Squad set was released in plastic at the turn of the century or something.

Here we see a Kill Team being dispatched to defend against the alien Pakora and their elite Onionbhaji shock troops. Note: this photo actually illustrates my dinner and that I have built the Corvus Blackstar.

Mean Machine the Heavy Intercessor Sergeant

I wanted to have the option to take/not take a Heavy Bolter without having to proxy anything. I had a couple of sets of Aggressors lying around (as you do) so stole one of the sergeant models and blinged him up a bit. Not the most heroic of poses unlike the Heavy Intercessors themselves but hey. 

He has a squad of 5 attached to him (not pictured)

A random Deathwatch sergeant or just a non-sergeant dude?

I made this White Scars with leftover parts from a previous conversion of the Kill Team: Cassius biker. Another idea out of my head (still requires a bit of Greenstuff).

Return of the Eldar Clown Party

In 2007 I built and painted (and used) the only Xenos army I have really had. By 'had', I mean not bought via eBay/people and actually used in tournaments.

It was based around several troupes of Harlequins, led by Eldrad (at higher points I added in an Autarch as well), supported by Shining Spears (Harlequins on jetbikes) and War Walkers with scatter lasers (yes scatter lasers, not starcannons, after all it wasn't 2nd/3rd ed). I had to take 2x troops so that ended up being Pathfinders... well, because. Just because.

I ran an army 'blog' on WargamerAU. ... .  suffice to say I can tell you, I was not very good at using this particular army. I think now (nearly 10 years later) I'd possibly be a bit more ruthless but back then I was still a Space Wolf at heart so charge etc. <except T3 5++ save = die more>. Mind you I did win a Best Sport at a GT and also Best Army with them so it wasn't all bad. And they did Bad BAD things to a certain Deathwing army... <sigh>

Here are some photos I dragged out of my hard drive

Great Harlequin Tre'sidda 

Very Metal Eldrad conversion

Troupe A

Troupe B

Shining Spears... so good... yet so crap

One of my favourite conversions ever

Very fluffy Pathfinders

Anyway... I did laugh when the new Harlequin codex came out, but not as much as when I saw Death Masque. Eldrad leading a Harlequin troupe... 

I just want to say "You saw it here first/I TOLD YOU SO" :)
