Here are a few more of the excellent old Eldar guardian models. On the right is a really old guardian from the Rogue Trader days. He was missing his head, so I gave him one from a dark eldar that's quite similar to the original.
Beside him is an Eldar knight from the old Epic game. The knights are rather weird, gawky models, but this particular one is about the right size and shape to help out. If it became necessary, I'd count it as an additional guardian.

And here is the whole bunch. I do like their blue armour!
Next time, we're back in Mordheim...
Nice!
ReplyDeleteThe pale blue and red armour works really nicely together and I do like how you've done the power swords too. The older Eldar sculpts are super characterful too!
Thanks! They're such nice miniatures to paint. There was a brief time between Rogue Trader and the later guardians who wear mesh armour, when the models looked spot on. It's a shame that guardians were so terrible in the rules!
DeleteGuardians of old had a quite particular charm, with those bulbed armours and all, cool work with the head. But the Knight is simply perfect, and I think it also covers the role you may want to assign it. Lovely work!
ReplyDeleteCheers - the guy on the top left of this post is really really old, and the others are slightly newer. I really like the old Eldar knights - very weird, but really interesting designs.
