I still have the Eldar Trader I painted around 1993, so I decided to take a side-by-side comparison photo. Next up, by request, is the pilot. I have an ornithopter for him too, which was a long project in the making.

40K Rogue Trader Adventurers - Eldar Trader and Associates
Here's the next installment in my 40K Adventurers project- the Eldar Trader.
I've been enjoying painting the Adventurers as part of small groups, so I decided to paint up a female friend and a Bonesinger as well. Both are non-GW sculpts I acquired years ago through the old Yahoo Collecting Citadel Miniatures Group. I decided the female is a psyker, so she received a Gyrinx companion (a Rogue Trader era limited release). It made sense to add a couple bodyguards so I selected three RT era Eldar mercs. One has a headswap (Dark Elf) from the mixed race WHF army box.

Nice work, very nice indeed. Those minis work great as a group too despite some aesthetic differences between them. Good call on an eldar pirate ornithopter, I was personally thinking of doing the same (using the admech flyer) but it doesn't fit my current eldar project (and also has no gaming use for me other than as a scenery/objective item) so has been put on the backburner for now.
ReplyDeleteYou're really pumping these out! Lovely and colourful!
ReplyDeleteThanks, trying to work steadily, with one adventurer group per month, one Inquisitor per month. I think I missed Feb. so I'm caught up ;)
DeleteVery nice indeed! Your 1993 version was damn fine too, mind you!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I was hoping the old one would be much worse, that way my improvement would be more obvious, hehehehe :)
DeleteBeautiful! Your use of colour here is really sweet. The group is fantastic, you managed to integrate them all perfectly!
ReplyDeleteThanks :) When unifying a group I use the old art trick of spreading color through a composition- using a particular color at least once on each figure :)
