Those are simply Stunning !!!
Dino love :D

2 things that instantly popped into my mind when i saw those flying dinos were, vampire hunters for the siam list with 2 big guns, but the one that really made me want to buy a few was the idea of using it as a normal vampier with guardians in harnesses underneath or like a airballon basket type thing with lots of eldar hanging over the edge ready to jump into combat.

This army is not only lovingly crafted and very well done, but it is extremely inspiring !!

Well done !!!


Cheers

Tim NZ

So cool.

Area around the guns is tricky because eldar don't tend to have guns that join in that way, they tend to be on arms or pivots to the side of a turret. Could you have some sort of housing coming out from the main turret and extending over a small part of the barrels? a bit like the new GW style nightspinner

I like the idea overall. However, as mentioned in your other thread it feel s bit like it is missing the lighttness of some of the other stuff (like the revenants). Perhaps something interesting could be made from the Phantom wings added behind the main turret? (Besides it kind of needs it as these are what generates te eEldar Holofields from a fluff PoV ;) ) Maybe a single phantom wing stretching out at roughly 45 degrees from the turret (Or give it a small pedestal or something that seperates it a bit from the body if you don't want it to rotate with the turret). If it is too big, it could probably be trimmed down somewhat with out too much hassle.

The re paint on the big dino rider is a big improvement, the lighter green under the mouth and round the eyes give the creature a lot more shape and seems more realistic!

Agreed, the second tone brings a lot more interest and life to the Carnosaur.

As for the phantom, Eldar turrets tend to be horizontally oriented. Your's is vertically oriented. Perhaps using an old falcon as the basis for a turret with swivelling guns would be feasable?

Superb minis, I'm pretty sure your conversions will inspire many players during at least a decade :)
