So, I went a whole week without painting anything. In my defence, I did do quite a bit in the way of assembling and preparing models, but still, since I'm on holiday at the moment and have all the time in the world, it's a bit rubbish. So yesterday I made up for it by painting more infantry than I have ever painted up in a single batch before: a fourth Guardian Warhost!
(Click for larger image.)I've painted up enough extra stands to allow me to swap the weapons platforms in and out in any combination.
Aside from the Farseer, these are all Troublemaker Games' Eloi Established models (which, by a remarkable coincidence, make for excellent Guardian proxies!). Although the regular troops are very nice, I actually bought these primarily for the scatter lasers, both for use as weapon platforms and in conversions on other models. The scatter lasers on my Vypers and Storm Serpents are all taken from Eloi models. That said, having some nicer-looking Guardian models is no bad thing, so this is the first of two warhosts I'll be painting using these models. As an added bonus, having two types of Guardian model in the army means that if I use the Uthwe army list then I have an easy way of differentiating Black Guardians from ordinary ones.
