Fresh from the Forge of Vaul

A pair of Fire Prisms. The completed one, Addaioth's Gaze, and the incomplete, Illurien's Lance.

Im contemplating magnetised the second so I can use it as a Night Spinner, should they prove useful in the coming edition.

But mainly I imagine they're gonna be prisming things in the main.

I am contemplating lightning effects on the gems but I need to practice before making a serious attempt.

Eldar Contra Tyranids - 1k

Ellooo.

Seeking advice, as i seem to struggle in particular against Nids.

Lost three games ina row - in part because i make mistakes ofc, but honestly the thing i'm particularly struggling with is killing synapse creatures. at the low points levels i play at they kinda are like a lowkey statcheck esp with how many tyranids can field, and because i just don't play larger games i struggle to find the space to insert a counter.

So i thought i'd play about with wraiths, see if they work. I've never actually used them but i figured a blob of tough nonsense would help given being fast and fragile has just been making me bait for genestealers lictors and VRLs 😃

Basic idea, as you could probably guess, is WL shoots bigger things, it the guard and the WS are full of flamers, the blades hopefully tarpit any genestealers, solitaire hopefully brutalises something, and corsairs/hawks/banshees/spiders do fast things and dissuades charges.

Thoughts?

(sorry for the post/delete/post - i was having an absolute moment with my phone)

The first jobs of May; i finished off Kharseth yesterday and I'm slowly chipping away at the first of my Shroud Runners, who I'm painting in my anrhathe scheme instead of my main craftworld scheme.

Kharseth is a nice mini to paint, but ita a shame about the chest/head; i was intending to get a second to kitbash a spiritseer out of but I'm not convinced it woyld be worth the faffing around.

Photo's are a bit low-light due to a cluster headache, so I hope that nto too much of the paint job is wiped out by it.

Wraithguard are such comfy models to build and paint. No stress, just happy little ancestor spirits striking poses.

Let's see my tyranid friend chew through these as easily as he does their descendants.
