Greetings. Here's the latest update on my painting. In an attempt to speed up my I've decided to use a microphone app, so there could be some weird spelling punctuation. Less time wasted and more productivity here are the models.
Jain Zar
Many years ago I got somebody to paint my models are for me. He was very good painter , but I had the wrong size base , and it's take me thirty years to rebase her. Voila! His name was also Jason, but considerably more talented than I. Jain Zar is currently considered one of the best special characters in the Aeldari force and one that I really like. Hopefully I can unleash her with my Aeldari Corsair army that I am faffing around trying to build.

Drukhari Cutthroats
My second unit druchari Kabalites. Not much to say about them really except they are a nasty bunch that hopefully will be a whole lot nastier in 11th edition 40k. From what I gather 11th will be better for close Combat armies and less sexy for gunlines so I think my murder elves will do just fine. In the first picture are my Splinter rifle armed chaps hence their expendable moniker.

Here are my proper dealers of death? They are armed with all the horrific druchari, weapons that causes radioactive (half-life of thousands of years) eradication for those poor unfortunates left on the planet. Long after the bad guys have left with bucket loads of slaves. With the Kabalite Cartel detachment they are very good. With sticky objectives and rerolls to hit with a pain token they are one of the best battleline units in the game. I reckon, anyways.

Big Untirable Guns
A couple of years ago , my buddy gave me a Leman Russ hull, complete turret , but no sides. I then made the two sides using plasticard and a variety of bits to make it look like a real one. The sponsons are real so with minimal effort I had a free tank. After mucho deliberatio I went for the twin autocannon turret as giving every other member of the Astra Militarum army an additional -1 ap seems like too good a deal to pass up. Of course when 11th edition rolls up and takes away all unit abilities I'll be a bit sick, but never mind.

| Mavis, in all her banged up glory. |
Mavis, as is the name of the Leman Russ has yet to see active combat which if the deplorable state of the Imperium is anything to go by, her status may change as soon as this evening.Below is a better view of her sides, which I'm sure you'll all agree, isn't her best feature. In another break from tradition, I have given her two plasma cannons and a hull mounted heavy bolter.

Ethel, the Rogal Dorn, is my final offering today. A 3d printed beast that my buddy Aaron gave me for the destruction of my enemies, and the possible mullering of his own Blood Angels and Tau. I have had a few outings already in her semi nude state and I'm very impressed with the firepower she can spew out. In a recent game, she almost single handedly accounted for nearly an entire Death Guard force. Ethel has been painted in my now standard camouflage scheme of olive yellow and aggaros dunes. I like it. even if it's not considered practical in urban, ice world and desert planets.

So that's all folks. This brings you up to date with my painting progress for now. So until the next time, be excellent to each other and hobby responsibly.
