Let's Turn Up the Heat - Eldar Fire Dragons

The Eldar Fire Dragons were one of my favorite squads back in my 40k army days. There wasn't much a full squad carrying melta/fusion guns couldn't take down, plus their coloring really made them stand out! I had four fully painted miniatures for the last two decades. It was time to fill out the squad. 

And now we number seven.

Now I really only needed one to fill out the squad, but like them so I ended up painting three. So here you have an exarch, and two more dragons. 

Upper Management - Biel-Tan Eldar HQ

I had originally intended to finish up another squad of Eldar for my next Summer of Eldar project. However we went away to visit family for a week and a half, so instead of delaying posts I figured I'd do something a little faster. 

This Farseer defeated a lot of enemies with his 2nd ed. powers. I miss 2nd...

Here you have the Farseer who had lead my army since the 90's, his finished warlock guard with sword (who may have been one of the last models I had completed for this army...), and a base coated warlock with a spear. 

A Craftworld Sighting!

My very first ever Warhammer 40k army was this Eldar Biel-Tan Craftworld army. Created during second edition, it served me well until 3rd came around. At that point most of my 3-4 model aspect teams needed updating to 5 model squads. It wouldn't be the last time my armies would become invalid under a new edition, but it certainly annoyed me enough to move on. So for a while it shelved the whole army, and started a new army of marines. 

I like to imagine they come from the part of the Craftworld resistant to change.

The forces made a resurgence for a short time during late 3rd or early 4th edition. I had slowly collected the missing models, got them based up for a few games. Sure, some of the figures were only base coated or primed, but they were a legal army again. I just never got around to fully painting them before I exited the hobby as a whole for over a decade. 

First Post - The Background

 Hello, and welcome to my hobby blog! In an attempt to get myself organized I decided to detail my progress by running this blog. Hopefully it helps because 2020 lockdowns kept me working on house projects. Therefore there was almost no progress; save some organization of the hobby area. 

Here's some quick bullet points about me:

• Started gaming in the mid 90's with historicals. 
• Prior to that there was an attempt to paint some minis with enamels for a D&D game that never really happened.
• One of the guys brought me into a "beer and pretzels" game called Warhammer 40k. 
• I could not legally drink at the time.
• I was immediately hooked and started my first army, Eldar (that's it... it's all they were known as in 2nd).

Eldar... Mostly painted.

 Had to expand squads in 3rd.
