MC Eldar

For a while now, I had a Forgeworld Avatar and a Wraithseer queued for some love. Paranoia about resin part preparation kept me from this for a while. Last weekend I put the bits together and got them ready for priming and a base coat of paint.

I magnetized the Wraithseer's head, gun and torso to hip joint. I haven't decided on how I'll keep the spear from breaking when it's bumped. The wrist is very narrow and the elbow isn't much wider. Either try to magnetize and risk a part breaking when drilling or pin the wrist and fix potential damage when it occurs. Decisions, decisions.

Anyway, once these HQ-MC models are sorted, I can fit four monsters into a single combined arms detachment, or five into a double-CAD 2000 points force. The Wraithseer requires a wraithguard or wraithblade unit in the army, which is better taken in the troops rather than the elite section, which again requires a spiritseer as HQ choice.

Update:

Now for the Avatar, that is a whole different challenge!

Spartan on-track update

After dithering for a while, I bit the bullet tonight and just glued on the tracks. To get an idea of how the model looks with the tacks, I blue-tacked the weapons and bits'n bobs on as well.
