The Marine Captain leaps from the floating island above, diving onto the Farseer. This was foreseen and the Eldar Farseer impales the Captain on his Singing Spear, but not before the Captain buries his lighting flaw into the Eldar's flesh (The Captain was slain, the Farseer reduced to one wound!). Thus ended the first game.
Game 2- the Captain lands to slaughter the Fire Dragons and steal their prize.

I also touched up and changed the paint on my Fire Prism - as I disliked the look so much I almost eBayed it.
I purchased and painted up some better Predator weapons and finished up a 2nd turret:
I salvaged an eBay Warlock and turned it into a Bonesinger for my army.
Great looking table. Do the floating islands have wood in them to stiffen them, or are they foam insulation?
ReplyDeleteI'm increasingly tempted to get some eldar based on your sharp looking force.
I believe they are foam, but they've got wood skewers or bits inside to sturdy the layers. There is an MDF/wood base and the large acrylic tube in the middle is bolted to that, etc. Overall, very sturdy -- they're not mine obviously but they work a treat. Also presents interesting challenges if you don't have jump packs or wings!
