The exodite plan

My work for converting incubi to be aspect warriors is under way and I'll post pictures about this soon. However right now I want to make notes for my plan to make an exodite army. I'll be using the corsairs armylist from IA11. So here is my initial plans. This will be much like my wych cult, just a side project that I intend to cap at 1000pts. Here are some tidbits mentioned about exodite armoured garb from Path of the Outcast scaled/hide robes, giant reptile skulls for helms, wooden riding thrones, hoods, half masks w/ eye lenses, saddle packs, knee high boots, gloves of animal scales/hides, open faced tall pointy helmets. Dark elf corsairs spring to mind straight away having listed all this. For a list here is what I'm thinking. Corsair prince 10 corsairs, 2 missile launchers 10 corsairs, 2 shuriken cannons 3 jetbikes w/ shuriken cannon (x2) Wasp war walker Nightwing Phoenix So the prince and the corairs will be made up of dark elf corsairs. The jetbikes will be cold one riders Not sure what the wasp could be. As for the nightwing and phoenix I want dragons!

Then and now...

Ive found out fairly recently that a friend of mine has started to list the number of models he's painted this year. I am far too lazy to keep such meticulous records. So instead I thought I would start a trend on my blog called "Then and now" showing a photo of my Eldar army from Feb 2012 and then taking a photo of the army each year around the same time to get an idea of how much I've done and what additions have been included in to the force. For the purposes of this I'm going to count any model that needs touching up, repainting, or basing as being "unpainted". So lets start off with then back in 5/1/12



Infantry painted: 114/160 + 0/2 guardian weapon platforms
Jetbikes painted: 5/15
Skimmers painted: 15/18
Monstrous Creatures painted: 1/2
Super heavy tanks 0/2

That's not too bad actually I'm quite happy with this.

It was at this time in the first half of last year that I was rushing to paint as much as I could for my apocalypse game. This following photo was taken in June 2012.



Infantry painted: 134/176 + 2/3 guardian weapon platforms
Jetbikes painted: 6/15 (should note that most of the guardian jetbikes are table top quality Im just not finished with them yet)
Skimmers painted: 18/18
Monstrous Creatures painted: 2/2
Super heavy tanks painted: 2/2
Flyers painted: 1/1


In the span of four months my army expanded somewhat and I feel I got a decent amount of painting done.

Earlier this week I took another photo of my force with my newest addition a lynx from Forge World!



Infantry painted: 163/179 + 3/3 guardian weapon platforms
Jetbikes painted: 6/15 (should note that most of the guardian jetbikes are table top quality Im just not finished with them yet)
Skimmers painted: 18/18
Monstrous Creatures painted: 2/2
Super heavy tanks painted: 2/3
Flyers painted: 1/1


Getting so very close now!!
