Eldar Warwalkers squad #2




I love the new warwalker squadrons! These guys are ALWAYS in my army. I have another 6 for a grand total of 9, or 3 squads of three. I would never arm these guys this way, but these weapons are the ones that are painted. The guns are all magnetized which make it easy to switch and keep my opponents on their toes. I was playing Mass Effect when I started painting these guys, and that is where I got the inspiration for the racing stripes. I also did the salt-spray paint method for the stippling, but found that the two blues I used were too close together and didn't have enough contrast, and so I had to do some stippling to finish the effect. I love the eldar scenic bases, and added some shells and rocks to each to make each unique. On the walker on the left, I washed over the base with an oil wood stain. I like the look, and will do it again on future models.
I almost always put these guys out on the first turn. Nine warwalkers gets people's attention.

Eldar Warwalker


This is one of nine war walkers in my army. The only one that is completely painted, and doesn't have magnetized weapons. I love warwalkers. They work great for thinning out all enemy troops. I like scatter lasers for most armies. Give the enemy enough chances, and they will fail their armor saves. Put your farseer next to them, and with doom and guide, you can cut a serious swath through the enemy. Put nine warwalkers down, and most armies will start to sweat. I usually only use them with the scout move if I am worried that the other army will shoot them down before they get a chance to shoot, or if I have an autarch or two to make sure they show up soon. Sure they don't have that great of armor, but they sure can dish out the pain.
