This channel is about painting converting and kitbashing miniatures for your warhammer & d&d games, Age of sigmar, warhammer 40k games and Necromunda in a Grimdark Grim Dark Style most of the time. I will paint more Space Marines, maybe even Space Wolves, Sisters of Battle, Stormcast Eternals, Eldar Aeldari, Age of Sigmar armies too cities of sigmar, more chaos space marines, painting scale models or miniature busts in the future. I've done how to paint guides you could use them for how to paint d&D I may do a conversion guide for Darktide or Dark tide however it is spelled. And in the future I will build and paint some terrain for my miniature war gaming wargaming hobby.

You are our children, dead though we are we shall not abandon you.
😭 i love the eldar
You did it, you beat 40k.
In all seriousness though, incredible army, especially the paint job. And it genuinely warms my heart to see you accomplish your dream army.
You’ve inspired me to make my own wraith construct army! Once again, awesome job!
Thank you so much! It was so fun and such a great feeling of nostalgia doing it! A little emotional even :)
This is so heartwarming. 🖤🖤🖤🖤 ELDAR for the win. ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thanks Lawrence! I'm genuinely a little emotional to have it complete! It's always nice to finish a project. I love the eldar. I have plans for an Alaitoc Pathfinder force too haha!
@@SlayerMiniatures ah that's cracking. They look beautiful too. Looking forward to seeing more of the best faction!
I, too, was a boy, Thomas, with a dream of building and painting a big Eldar army. I have built it (not as big as yours but who's comparing?) and am still waiting to paint it. You're living the dream
Snap! Is yours a Wraithhost or other?
Have you decided on a scheme?
I love Alaitoc and want to paint a pathfinder or ranger army too!
@@SlayerMiniatures I went for wraithhost with a knight, wraithseer, wraithlord, 7 guard and a spiritseer. I then decided to add a squad of the new rangers, an old metal re-cast of a farseer (first hq model I ever owned) and the new avatar.
I've gone for alaitoc, even though they don't necessarily have the best perks. I just love the colour scheme and can't wait to incorporate the camo pattern into the larger models.
Incidentally, I just finished my Nighthaunt Black Coach - heavily inspired by one of your previous videos!
@@bigtom6443 oh awesome! If you have Instagram please tag me or send me a picture of your coach. I love seeing other's minis.
One of the first models I bought was a metal farseer with singing spear where it was holding it aloft. I spent days painting it! And the old metal avatar! Ahh..the good old days!
Have fun painting :) i hope you have an overwhelming feeling of nostalgia :)
@@SlayerMiniatures I'll put it on the 'gram right away!
I suspect we may have had the same farseer... I'll try and get that painted first, will tag you in that one too!
@@bigtom6443 awesome thanks Tom:)
It has been wonderful to see the whole process throughout from start to finish.
Amazing army and awesome painter!
Thanks dude! Not so bad yourself! Been very fun to do :)
Wow, that's an army to be proud of. Well done and great vid too fella 👍
Thanks Tom! Cool name BTW ha!
Love Iyanden! Those guys and Alaitoc are my faves, it's the yellow-blue combo. Also, congrats on making that childhood dream come true!
Thanks James :D Im going to do Alaitoc soon! i have about 40 rangers! ha
Poses have attitude and great sense of weight and movement particularly like the ‘hand on hip knight’,
Thank you alpha! Exactly what I was going for!
Impressive Uncle Tom! (From Drogo) he thinks you should call one of them Little Tom, one of them Bathead (after the baseball bat attack outside) and the rest of them after Ancient Egyptian rulers 😆
Haha! Good suggestions!
I think you should call one of them latte after hot coffee straight away!
This has inspired me to one day make a full army of Canoptek spyders and scarabs, my nibbly bois will take the world by storm
Also I should probably mention-great video, what a cool army
Thank you :) and awesome! Do it!! Now is the best time to do any necron army with the imperium magazine! Everything is much cheaper online :) have fun too!
Ah yes, saw this one on reddit. I'm also beginning my collection of eldar !
Thanks Pop! Eldar for the win!
Nice! I can relate to them… I feel like I’ve been battling without rest for millennia too
Hahaha!! Amazing
This is one of the most wholesome and uplifting videos I've watched in a long time.
To answer your question, my dream army right now is to get my various marines done. I've got Deathguard waiting to be painted (I've started, I'm doing them up as Pallid Hand, very very slowly), I'd love to do Thousand Sons, and I've got the starter box for Black Templars.
If I was gonna do Eldar, it'd be a Wraith Host for sure!!
Thank Robert! Glad you enjoyed the video :) it was very humbling to make. I have a deathguard video too where I paint Pallid Hand too! Sounds like you are going to be busy with all those armies ha!
Oh I'll definitely be busy. I also paint at the speed of molasses in winter, but I'm trying to get better at that!
How can you have an entire Wraith army without Wraithfighters?!?! :D Outstanding job and love seeing someone complete a life long dream project.
I dont have them..yet! Ha
Damn, the pateron pics were nice but didn’t do these guys justice. Very nice looking army and that streaking downwards effect is cool as hell.
Thanks Nicholas for the support and kind words! Legend
Well done mate. I can't even muster the will to finish painting my one sicaran, so I commend you for your resilience.
Haha thanks mate! Once you get into the groove it's hard to stop! Hopefully I inspired you to paint more?
Fuckin' gorgeous, mate. After the airbrushed faces, I was doubtful. But after the oil, the grime, the weathering pigments...BEAUTIFUL.
Hi Bobby! I know exactly what you mean. Thankfully I managed to deliver on my vision! Ha. they came out amazing
@@SlayerMiniatures And how! Excellent work, my dude. I'm stoked that you nailed it!
Iyanden is a thing of beauty, playing them for about 25 years. Love it
Oh nice! What is your favourite unit?
@@SlayerMiniatures well wraiths of course, lots of wraiths. I loved it when options became available for wraithgaurd to be wraithblades and the new weapons as well. I played with 30 metal wraithgaurd that only had about 4 different poses for years lol just a solid hunk of pewter. Wraith knights and wraith fighters were cool too, that added some flavor. I tend to stay true to the lore as much as I can.
Epic. The dynamic poses are so on point. Sells the thematic presentation.
Thanks Stefan! It was so much fun posing them! The entire project has been amazing fun
10/10 & love the nostalgia of the childhood photos!
Thanks Kate :D absolute mad lad haha!
Always happy to see another Iyanden player. We are a dying breed. Pun intended.
Ha! Love the pun. I just need to get lots of practice in
I feel you dude. I have an Aeldari army myself that I turned to building when Phil Kelly butchered Orks with that stupid codex so many years ago. I have a plethora of undead Wraithguard, Wraithlords, a Wraithseer and a Wraith Knight. But I have so much more as my army morphed and adapted to the rules changes from Ed 3 to 9. Mine is a returning craft world that was way out in deep deep deep space. Their colour scheme is Tin Bitz with accents for the type of function they serve and a nod to the path ways, (Metallic green for Scorpions for example). The army continues to grow but I have learned how to use them no matter what.
That's awesome Carl! I think people get to involved in meta chasing. And turn away from armies they love for ones that are more competitive. This is my army now, I won't sell it. And I will learn how to use it :) forever!
Love the origin of yours! And that it's evolved over time :) it means you have more fun with it I assume too?
ive always wanted a eldar knight and wraith lord army sooo bad! grats! i decided 24 years ago to go with dark angels and now have a bitchin imperial diorama at around 3k and a cool neopolitan chaos raider force and dark eldar realspace raid coming in at 3k aswell to face it.... 2 decades well spent
That sounds amazing dude! I'm tempted in the future to make a diorama for all the knight's where they are fighting tyranids! If you have pics of your stuff on Instagram I'd love to see it!
These are amazing! Dream army achieved as well with it, truly glorious!
My dream army I'm actually on the way to making. My first army was Necrons, I love the lore of the Necrons and I made a custom dynasty that has gone a little off the beaten path.
The dynasty themselves is an offshoot of Thokt that split off to take in the refugees that could not make it to stasis when the command to rest happened. Because of this they would be still awake when the silent king instilled into his people a need to achieve Apotheosis. This crossed the wiring a bit in the Phaeron of the offshoot and he has made it his purpose in unlife. He has not gone to sleep and has kept a large portion of his dynasty awake throughout the millennia, going from place to place getting biomass and tissue samples from local populaces to try and push the research further. He has learned from initial failures that trading and helping the people of these outer worlds gives samples that are more intact and of higher quality. They have a core world that houses a hiveworld on it that has developed into what the imperium would call a paradise world.
I want to create an army and board that is the apocalypse of this paradise, because my second army is deathwatch. Having a fullscale board that shows a world that was clearly once beautiful, taken care of by mechanical undying legions being destroyed due to the motto of "Suffer not the Alien to Live" would be what I would love to be able to bring to life.
Now for the Deathwatch they arrive on a battle barge thrown through a warp storm. This creates a reason to through in other things on this world as either defenders or attackers for either side, from things displaced from time (aos armies or horus heresy), to things that shouldn't normally work together. It just sounds like a fun board to play on, to use as a diorama piece, and to house my armies while not in use.
Thank you! Awesome idea and story of yours! I always have a story to mind when painting, i think it helps inspire me and helps me make decisions about what to paint and where. Its supposed to be fun after all ha!
@@SlayerMiniatures Exactly! Its why I loved how you said you were going to have your army evolve. More dings and scratches, trophies, etc.. I have an overlord that I have as an enforcer, each time he slays a difficult opponent I want to get a shield from that army to mount to him. I already have a magnetized deathwatch stormshield and a dispersion shield. Shows that he is supposed to be the melee beatstick overlord that I envision his role in the dynasty being. Funnily enough he's a similar pose to your spartan wraithknight. That slightly outstretched polearm with the shield to the side just screams duelist eyeing up his next fight to me.
I'm 14 years into my blood angels. I am have just gotten the last of my missing infantry painted, now all I am missing from the line is the tanks. This is a humble reminder that while I have been at it for a long time... I still have a lot of time to go. I have felt myself in a rush but this reminds me that I have a dream army. And I will not give up on that dream
Hi Brian! No need to rush it, take your time and enjoy it. This army took me approximately 6 months to paint and I enjoyed every minute :)
beautiful army. looking at how I can make them competitive
Apparently Wraithguard with shield and axes are good and wraithlords are super good! I normally play casual games anyway.
I played a few weeks back with 3 knights and it was so much fun!
@@SlayerMiniatures thanks!
I think the marble effect could also represent a galaxy effect. It'd be pretty cool if a visor had that effect, implying inside the head is a galaxy (or some kind of black hole, idk. Space). Like some ancient robotic entity that creates worlds and also destroy them.
Good idea! It could be used for that too. I've seen a few people paint galaxies onto eldar falcons and wave serpents.
Congratulations!! That's the hobby!
Thanks you :) and yes! This is why we do it :)
You're the most inspiring of all the Warhammer CZcamsrs! Since watching you I've bought an airbrush and finished 2 whole armies
Wow thats awesome! Glad I inspired you! Did you paint your dream army?
@@SlayerMiniatures painted around 4k points worth of skaven and 6k worth of beastmen. Now that they're finished my beastmen are a dream, though they weren't when I started them
@@motorboot2822 oh that's cool! Congrats! Some people have zero painted models! Two armies that big is epic!
Mad lad, you actually did it, congratulations mate.
Haha thanks sushi! 😊
Looks incredible. Now, you have to live with yourself
Thanks and...Good point ha!
I recently decided to sell off my massive pile of vampire counts (aka pile of shame) to start collecting eldar. I’m managed to amass a very large number of models that I’m super excited to get into. What got me into the eldar are the open smooth surfaces and the alien nature of the race. I like to free hand so the smooth open panels and armor makes it easier to show off my skill. The alien nature of the eldar really open up opportunity to come up with any number of odd color combinations and weird effects and textures. Eldar ftw
Oh nice! I've seen some amazing freehand done on eldar! Especially Wraithknights! What did you end up with in your eldar army?
@@SlayerMiniatures Im a little embarrassed to admit how many models I have but let’s just put it this way I’m a completionist and with the exception of a handful of rare Oop harlequins, an original phantom titan some Oop forgworld Corsair’s and a vampire hunter I have almost every model ever produced for there range 😅
favorite part of this video was un-elaborated snippet of "i had to call 999 because some people outside decided to start beating eachother with baseball bats", love it. Also really dig those models, always reminded of how sick the wraithknight guys are
Haha it was a little distracting! I called and them straight back into the painting 😀
Wraithknights are so fun to paint. Lots of detail and lots of opportunities to pose them. I wish they had their own codex!
I enjoyed this redemption arc.
Thank you 😊
Awesome!!!!!! So inspirational - thankx for sharing your passion and it was nice to see you realise your dream!
Thanks 😀 do you have a dream army?
This looks awesome. Now you can finish the bases on your Death Guard army hahaha
Haha! Yes I can!
Dammit, I didn't even like those dirty Xeno Eldar until seeing your amazing models and hearing their story. And now look what you've done? 😂 Seriously though, thanks for the tour through your hobby journey. I'm seriously going to have to look into these guys now. Their story sounds awesome. I absolutely love how you did those cockpits. Great work all around brutha. 🤜🔥🤛
Wow thanks a lot! Glad i inspired you that much! I was shocked at how well the knights came out! What is your dream army? Hopefully i havent made you change your mind ha!
"Let the dead rise to join our numbers... lest we join theirs..."
Awesome quote. Love it
Woooah amazing man. Gratz on finishing your childhood army. I hope to fix and sort my Tau one day
Do it! You won't regret it :)
Great vid dude, currently trying to build a blood angels army, who'd have thought there's sooooo many reds 🤣
Thanks Ben! I've done a guide on blood angels, in a dark red scheme. Yes there are lots of reds! Haha
My dream army is a huge melee focused tyranid swarm with a strong psychic support
Oh that would be so cool! Did you see my tyranid video? I started collecting a nidzilla list with loads of carnifex, swarmlord and genestealers, and 3 dimachaeron! I ended up selling it though but it would be so fun to play!
@@SlayerMiniatures imma check it out
This was sooooo relaxing to watch. Iyanden yeah ❤
Thanks Kevin! Chilled and relaxing is what I always go for :)
Straight away! Looks great!
Haha yes, I said it a few times didn't I?!
Bye the way, names, the original was a little pretentious, Illiandius. However, given for my penchant for speed and the passing of Sir Pratchet, I have renamed it Rince Wind.
Congratulations! This is so wholesome! Fellow pointy ear here. I really think you chose a cool approach, great creativity. When i was 11 i saw a phantom titan at a games convention, back then it was still produced by Armorcast, and i said to myself: "One day!". The day came, thus my Eldar have a long and troubling story to them. I have not yet achieved my dream army. But this brother, motivates ! I share your dream, one day we shall reclaim the galaxy together.
Love this! Good luck with your own mission! Id love a titan one day...
The dynamic poses on those wraith knights are absolutely fantastic. Amazing job
Thanks Frosty. I did a separate guide on how I posed them if you are interested!
These look stunning man! Been a pleasure following this dream project.
Thanks Nick! Do you have a dream army?
@@SlayerMiniatures probably been my most productive year, as far as painting goes actually. Across a number of different armies though. Started my own wraith host partly through your project (found your IG while looking for Inspiration for my own!) - A 'Seraphon' army has always been a bit of a dream army for me since the old Lizardmen/Bretonia box. I'm just waiting for some of the models to be refreshed before jumping in I think!
Not sure why this popped up on my feed, but this was cool to watch. They look great!
Are you not into warhammer? Is that why its odd it popped up? Thanks for watching anyway 🙂 and glad you liked it 😊
Always get strong Evangelion vibes from these models, awesome!
Thank you :)
I won't lie...I had to Google it. Ive never heard of it, but it looks cool! Would you recommend watching it?
@@SlayerMiniatures Absolutely recommend it. The series is on Netflix (new voiceovers are meh) or hop to the three films for a more condensed and modernized version.
elvers in any form need a proper externinatus but that shit is tight. well done.
Haha thanks!
i didn't realize your stuff was the cool conversion video i watched a bit back it all looks fantastic together and you inspired me a big back then to customize my crisis suits more
Hi tiki! Glad I inspired you and that you found me again ha! How did you do you suits?
When I finally jump into 40k elder r def the move. I could only hope to have an army looking this fresh.
Thank you 😊 they came out well!
Definatly inspiring me to build my dream army, thank you so much for sharing your army and story ❤
Glad it inspired you :) what is your dream army?
@@SlayerMiniatures I think i have to go back to the beginning to the army i was in awe of when i first discovered 40k which would probably be the drukari
@@StarskyGypsy I love drukhari too. And lots to choose from with the three 'septs' of devotion. All the haemonculi, wracks and grotesques really appeal to me! I hope you take the plunge one day :)
I love the work you've done. I have my 4 armies and now I have to put them together. Last thing I need for one I have is a warlord titan but I have to save for it.
I'd love a massive titan one day! Maybe an eldar one :)
Yo this is fantastic! I lost my mind when I saw the marbling effect
Thank you 😊 I did a whole video on the marble effect! It looks so good! A successful experiment ha
Looks awesome !!!
Thanks Thomas! Great name by the way
Absolutely gorgeous stuff! I’ve been dreaming of making an Iyanden army for over a decade now and this is the absolute best i’ve ever seen it be executed. Love it 😍
Awesome! Honestly they were super fun to paint! And it's reasonably cheap for a 2k point army! I'd recommend buying it before 10th edition comes out :)
Absolutely stunning.
Thank you Owls! You're a hoot!
Awesome video, really great to see some dreams coming true!
Thanks Keith! I'm so glad that I finally did it!
Been buying Games Workshop products since 1985. It wasnt until I charged 20 Wraithguard with 80 Khorne berserkers in the summer of 2000 did the idea hit me: 'Man I want an army of these guys!' ....that was back when there were only 3 different posed Wraithguard and the metal miniatures cost £8 each. I didn't have much money then and only acquired 3 of them. But I've always wanted to be able to field a full force. Watching your video has once again inspired me to bite the bullet and try to do a complete army of them. 👍👍👍
Love this! I fell in love with them due to the lore, their appearance and how they played! I remember seeing how much they cost in the shop (in metal!) and my dream sinking. Plastic for the win!
@@SlayerMiniatures Yes they are very enigmatic and cool!. It was how quick they took my Chaos army out was what instantly switched me on too! Wraithlord Bright lance took my Chaos land raider out first shot of the first turn. Wraithcannons decimated my line of Berserkers and once I got in I thought I would have success with 4 attacks each. Wraithguard had strength and toughness of 5 in 3rd edition and only ONE ATTACK, but I struggled to wound them and they wiped me out in two rounds of combat. .....I was instantly converted! Lol. They are a fantastic unit now in 10th. ...Like I said thank you for the video I think it will inspire a lot like me who have toyed with the idea for ages to run with it. 👍👍👍
Congratulations on achieving your dream, they look fantastic!
Thank you Nortic! I'm super happy with them 😀
achievement unlocked!! congratulations!
Thank you :) I'm so happy with how it turned out!
Super cool! Love all the kit bashes especially the wraith knight glave/spear conversion!
Thank you! I won't lie...they came out way better than I was expecting. Mid way through kitbashing I sat back and said 'damn, that looks cool!' Haha!
very nice dude. i'm about to embark on my same type of journey with dark angels, that i've been waiting a couple of decades to do. I finally have all 3 of the time, money and skill to do it so should be fun.
Oh that is awesome! I am so excited for you! Enjoy it mate :)
Just a little tip...I wish I had bought my old codexes like in the video. It would have been an even higher level of nostalgia to see those books again while painting
just WOW, I love everything about this. the unique poses, the paintscheme, how much time and effort you put in the video, explaining your steps in such a nice and calm manner. The Wraithknight seers with their plums and speers are my favorites :)
Thanks Konstantin! Comments like this make it all worth while! I think the Wraithknight-seers were my favourite too! They turned out great! Do you have a dream army?
Wow dude! Incredible!!!!
Glad you liked it!
Very inspiring, thanks!
Thanks Kelly! Do you have a dream army?
@@SlayerMiniatures I've always wanted an epic High Elves Army with Dragons and tons of Cavalry. I have it, built it and my #1 hobby goal for the New Year is to complete this huge collection. I have decided to play 6th Edition WHFB, so I'm mustering a couple armies to do that, currently finishing 20+ year old Orcs and a Giant before moving on to those Elves.
@@kellykuciemba6789 oh that sounds so cool! I was in two minds when I got into warhammer. Fantasy or 40k. I went with 40k, but I was very close to getting a high elf army! I ended up buying the army book. The Dragon Princes of Caledor were just so cool. And Swordmasters of Hoeth!
If they bring them back in 'The Old World' I'd have to start them!
Man, that turned out amazing! Excellent work!
Thanks Lee! Do you have a dream army?
@@SlayerMiniatures I'm more about making Kill Team sized skirmish games, and making lots of them, haha. I like the lack of attention span needed to create SOOOO much cool stuff, like you did.
Thats a fantastic looking army.
Thanks Carl! Do you have a dream army?
Great work, outstanding!
Thanks Marcus :) glad you liked it
Stunning
Thank you 😊
hmmmm (looks at my pile of gray plastic)... Fine I'll get back to painting >.>
On a slightly more serious note, this did inspire me to paint again (at least for a little bit). I haven't painted a model in 3 months and my excuse has been "I'm just too busy", which if people looked at my schedule would most likely agree, but it is (at the end of the day), an excuse. I'll make some time to paint over the next week or so to paint :)
I know what you mean, I often lose motivation, but inspiring others really makes me happy and inspires me. The other day I really couldn't be bothered to paint, I was stressed from work and agitated, but I made myself sit down for 10mins to paint. I also paint in silence as I let my mind wander and relax. I didnt realise how long I'd been sat there and my girlfriend came and found me to tell me I'd been painting for about 3 hours. I was so calm and relaxed. I sometimes forget how calming this hobby is. So finding time, even a little bit is so worth it! Don't pressure yourself though :) enjoy it
Beautiful work and a great video. Congrats on the cool army
Thanks Carl! It was well worth the effort! Do you have a dream army?
Absolutely stunning!
Thank you 😊
Glad you got you dream army painted and ready for the table. Looks great, well done!
Thanks Sam!
This army is beautiful!!! Very nice work.
Thanks you!
🎉🎉❤ amazing army !
Thank you 😊 do you have a dream army?
My Wolves army has been in the make for about the same time... One day soon theyll also be finished... Adult money rules... haha
Great work and fantastic looking army.. Congrats on a great build.
Thanks monster! Sounds like you arent far behind me :) have fun!
These are absolutely insane. Such cool poses and paint
scheme. Amazing work!
Thanks so much! It was so much fun! What was your favourite?
@@SlayerMiniatures I think the two with glaves and the double-sword one, but the one with the triple-cannon on one arm is also a beaut.
Came back to watch again because this is such a great video. I remember seeing the conversion videos and just sitting on the edge of my seat for this one. I'm glad you took your time cause this really turned out man.
Thanks alot! This whole thing took me about 6 months in total to do :) I enjoyed every minute of it too!
Great vid Tom. Your former Scottish manager would be proud...
Haha! I forgot to send it to him! Standby
Amazing! Enjoy your army. And thanks for the painting guide!
Thank you 😊
The gold marbled into blue reminds me of lapis lazuli, the stone. Beautiful.
I have to know who thought to name a purple/violet paint after a purple/violet stone (amethyst), and then call it blue? Were they the kind of colorblind that can't distinguish between blue and violet?
Thank you Lazer, the marble effect was well worth the effort! And yeah...amethyst blue is an odd name choice!
Incredible work man, well done.
Thanks Barry! Glad you liked it
Tbh Im more interested in how it fights.
Slow shooty infantry + fast demi-titans is a really interesting combo. Scary amounts of D and then the wraith/spirit seer shenanigans could be awesome on the field.
Exactly! In theory it sounds like a all rounder army. I think knights are over priced points wise currently according to posts I've seen. Wraithlords are great apparently and Wraithguard are really good too, especially the axe and shield as they have an invulnerable save! Not sure about the rest yet.
Wow, just wow!!!
Thanks Lee! Thats uncanny! Alasdair's mother says that
@@SlayerMiniatures so wrong
@@Auburnville 🤣
It's very nice, please don't make the mistake many people do and think that every "bump" on those models is a soulstone, on the legs, arms,, torsos... I've seen people do it and the knights look like they have chickenpox
Thanks! Yeah i know exactly what you mean! ive seen them with all the gems and on some it looks good, others it looks too 'busy'! good point :)
Very inspiring! What a stunning scheme
Thank you Quercus! Which was your favourite?
That would take me 24 years to paint.
Haha! You would be surprised how efficient batch painting is:)
@@SlayerMiniatures You can also add Nighthaunt Spirit Hosts to your Wraith. Probably a little late for that now though, lol.
Yes! my favority youtube painter makes an upload just as I sit down to paint. Go Tom! (I'm gonna watch the video now)
Wow, thanks :D hope you enjoy!
@@SlayerMiniatures Yes, your videos are very theraputic. You have a good voice. Also the music you add fits with the grimdark vibe.
@@LordVilmore thanks vilmore! One of my colleagues said it made them sleepy! In a good way
This was an amazing video, great colors and quality of the paint job! Bravo 👏
Thank you :) the pink worked really well I think. I wasn't sure until the grime stage haha!
Damn. Was never a fan of Eldar minis when I was a kid in the 90s/early 2000s, with the grav tanks being the only exception, those were pretty cool. But again.... damn that army looks cool. Well painted and the models have clearly improved a great deal from when I used to have tabletop armies. If it weren't for the obscene price of plastic crack I'd probably have another go as an adult.
Thank you! 😊
I think I only paid full price for 3 knights and 2 start collecting boxes. Everything else was bought for super cheap on ebay...Well, cheap in comparison to the full price.
I think 4 of the knights were less than £40 each? Thanks for the kind words! Sorry if I tempted you to start! Ha
Love this army! Well done mate :)
Thanks Joe 😀
U set a high bar, truly impressive 👏 👌 🙌 👍...
Thanks Darryll! Do you have a dream army?
@@SlayerMiniatures Dark Mechanicum, kinda working towards one just need a stretch of dedication...lol
@@darryllhoward6528 I wish there were more dark mechanicus models. I'd love to do some someday. It's a kitbashing dream! Maybe do one or two first? That will motivate you
Beautiful work
Thanks Ben 😀
Legit! Great work. I build armies yearly, but this somehow rang more true. Your living the dream, have some fun.
Thank you 😊 have you built your dream army then?
@@SlayerMiniatures Orks, I've been playing for many years now, but only recently found them and consider them my favorite. When my Titans arrive, then I'll have it lol
Beautiful army!
Thank you 😊
This was so awesome and inspirational! It makes me so happy to see an army painted with such love. Hope to see more of these wraith as they evolve with time.
On a side note, would you mind sharing how/what color you primed the wraithguard before airbrushing with the iyanden contrast? It seemed slightly different to the larger wraith models, but the outcome was stellar and still matched the whole army.
Hi dude, glad you liked it :)
The guard are sprayed in spots of wraithbone/cream and the zandri dust/sand colout cans that I used for the knights. All the same colours just I didnt do any marble effect on the guard as it wouldn't be visible. Hope that helps
“Wraithy McWraithface”
Ha! Boaty McBoat face to stay traditional to its origin?
Amazing and congratz! also Early eldar codex art was so stellar, it still is but back then it was somehow way darker !
looks great :>
I once had my dream warhammer army was a Beastman army from old Fantasy xD my young cousin managed to destroy every single model...
Nooooo! How did that happen?! This army will he transfered to a cabinet to protect it!
Are you going to replace your army?
@@SlayerMiniatures it was on a shelf way way up on the wall but he managed to climb and it all went down and every model got damaged badly x) and yeah def thinking either guardsmen or sisters of battle or tau :>
@@MaiHand oh that's a shame! I want a kroot army one day!
@@SlayerMiniatures great idea! They are awesome
