Eldrad Ulthran.

And today´s post is for... Eldrad Ulthran.

The first among equals, Eldrad is the ultimate farseer, with every option, knowing every power and being able to cast three powers each turn, eldrad becomes a support monster for any eldar army, but this is not all, he can relocate 1d3+1 units at the beginning of the game and his witchblade (that wounds on 2+) ignore armour saves too.

He is totally a monster, not in close combat but fortune/guiding your units as well as dooming enemy´s, which is what farseers are purchased for.

A detail of the helmet and runic armor.

A detail of the helmet and the staff, one of the most iconic eldar equipment ever.

A shot from his back, I still need an avatar to make the classic Avatar/Eldrad combo.

As in the farseer, I´ve tried to create kind of a flowing line of energy in the recess of the helmet, I´m not sure I´ve successed in it, but i still like so much the effect.

Hope you like it.

Farseer

This is a mini I´ve been caring of through the years, I bought it long before it was discontinued and was well kept in my miniatures lot until now, that I can give it a proper paintjob.

Most of 40k gamers of today has never seen this mini before, but well... until some years ago it was the only farseer available apart from Eldrad Ulthran (this and the other without helmet, but I´ve never seen the latter ever).

I´ve painted it to fit my warlocks scheme, but the lack of the white faceplate makes it outstand among the warlocks.
This and the huge insectoid eyelenses, that I´ve painted purple as any other eyelenses in my army.

I´ve tried to create a blue flowing energy line effect in the helmet.

I know his arms are a bit shorter than they should be, but I still love this mini and his organic look, that is a thing that eldar has been missing through the years.




Don´t know why, but in my opinion, this is still a impressive miniature, maybe is the retro look or that it is an eldar miniature which don´t look as the eldar folk of today.

Here is the farseer with his retinue.

What do you think about it?
