Veldis, the houndcaller as her sisters know her, is one of the four ancient voidsingers still remaining on Hedrie III. Along Ilanhíe, Áine, and Laethe, she watches over the once beautiful maiden world. Along her three sisters, she now serves the wild host that may be the only shield between the invading seventh legiones astartes and her home.
Finally finished some aeldari ❤️ I spent the summer in an absolute creative slump and it took a month of trudging through rust to get the right stride back. Hope you like them!
Meet the toa Nox. Sent to safeguard the deep, dark places of the world these warriors don a protosteel armor to ward off the blades of those who would see the downfall of the order of Mata Nui.
Toa Anaya - water, team leader. She wields twin hydro kunai and and uses kanohi Sanok, the mask of accuracy fashioned after a great Hau.
Toa Kofora - ice. They wield a rime scimitar and a shield gauntlet. Their mask is kanohi Kualsi, the mask of quick travel.
Toa Lakhiri - air. She wields a leafvein spear and a dueling hook. Her mask is kanohi Volitak, mask of stealth fashioned after a great Ruru.
Toa Toshqo - fire. He wields twin inferno fists and kanohi Pakari, the mask of strength.
Toa Pomoru - stone. He wields a boulder mace and kanohi Garai, the mask of gravity fashioned after a great Rode.
Toa Verdol - earth. He wields twin tremor tonfa, and kanohi Tafai, the mask of deflection, fashioned after a great Faxon
I originally built this team to be the toa version of the six metru matorans, but through the years they've developed their own identities in my mind 😄 The masks and mace head are airbrushed silver if anyone wonders 😄
I'm starting to run out of things to reshoot so that means i need to stop playing monster hunter and get a brush in my hand sooner or later 😅
In the meanwhile here's a unit of my Saim-hann rangers. I'm still very happy about how the chameleoline cloaks came together and if i were to paint some now, i wouldnt change a thing about the effect.
Aand now i realize i've forgotten to darkline and highlight the golden weapon detailing 🤦♀️ perhaps some day.
Reshoot time! This time its turn for Ilanhié the bonesinger, who lived hidden in the deep catacombs of a doomed maidenworld. After the seventh legion of the imperium laid waste to her home, she and her sister Áine pledgged their wraithhosts to the Autarch of a Saim-hann splintership coming to their aid. While her new allies favor the jetbike, she trusts only in her mastery over wraithbone, riding her meditation dais into battle alongside her restless dead.
Gali was my first toa, i got her as an unexpected gift from my parents when i was 7 years old and took her everywhere with me 😄 now she finally has her golden kaukau and toa tools to match!
Time for your regularly scheduled Anya's aeldari photoshoot 😄 Some years a go I got a surprise gift from a friend. It was a box full of his childhood eldar covered in copious amounts of enamel paint and green flocking. He told me they are mine to have if i can clean them up and do them justice, and one of the first minis I salvaged from that pile was this metallic wraithlord. It's incredibly cool that this mini is almost as old as I am, even if it has a modern plastic cannon ❤️ As this oddity barely fits the modern aeldari aesthetic, i decided that it was an exodite made construct that guarded ancient worldship fragments deep beneath a maiden world's surface. Long forgotten by it's kin, it has now been found by my splinter fleet of Saim-hann and serves as the warden of their infinity circuit. A noble retirement for a warrior as ancient as great scattering of her kin.
She's back on her bullshit! I decided to finally do a proper photoshoot of my revenant titan only to find out that it dwarfs both my lighting setup and black backdrop. Cue elaborate scheme of shooting against a greenish curtain and photo magicking the green to black and here we are 😅 Even though the revenant is like smallest of all the titans, it's still over twice the height of a knight. It doesnt fit into the display cabinet. It doesnt fit any real game. It was just a hubris-filled self bought birthday gift in 2022. But damn me if it isnt among the coolest nerd things i own ✨️🐍🐍🐍✨️
Reshoot time 😄✨️ This time it's the wraithknight's turn. I had to do some restorative work to fix some paint chipping and to hide some awful scars where i ripped off her shoulder cannons for an another project but here we are 😅
I kind of dont vibe with the perfectly square tabard anymore but to fix that would require so much freehanding I feel it wouldnt be worth the trouble. Still I'm quite happy with this one!
Even more reshoots, this time the its the mighty Lynx! Lightest of the craftworld superheavies, the Lynx carries a titan grade pulsar cannon, capable of vaporizing pretty much anything and everything in its sight.
I painted this beast too in 2023, but wasnt at all satisfied with the original pictures i took back then.
Assembling this one was such a journey. It weighs a ton as everything is solid resin, and instead of the tiny flight stands used by other hovertanks, i had to use a shortened cross shaped flight stand. Despite all the challenges back then, this one might well be the crispest of all my aeldari paintjobs. Something just clicked with it 😄❤️
I originally painted this hornet back in 2023, but back then my photo setup was not to my liking. It was high time to dust this off and take some glamour shots 🐍❤️
The cannons are magnetized and interchangeable with my wave serpent and upcoming falcons. Hope you like it ❤️
Wave serpent ready to surf the battlefield!
✨️🐍🐍🐍✨️
The age of the falcon chassis is soo obvious when the edges shift from mushy globules to razor sharp plastic edges within a single centimeter but at least now i have something to ferry the ten aspirants around 😄
10 aspirants and their support turret done 😄 Unlike the guardians of other craftworlds, these warriors are fanatics aspiring to earn their place in the wild rider hosts. They come from all layers of craftworld society and thus cover their faces with void masks so instead of birthright, only their deeds might earn them glory. Here the daughter of an autarch is equal to the lowliest artesan of the craftworld. Only once they earn their place on a jetbike or warwalker do they once again reveal their identity. 🐍🐍🐍
