My Slaanesh Eldar "The Deceivers"

[CMSheats]

Hello all!

This thread will follow the project life of my Infected Eldar. (Or Slaanesh Eldar as I like to call them.)
I have only just started on the painting and converting of my Eldar, so this is still brand new, and your ideas and comments will shape how this army will look in the end! So please, don't hesitate to post any ideas/comments you have about the models! And if you have compliments/criticisms, those are great as well, so go ahead and post them!

Now, this is my personal army, so I will have to work around painting commissions while I am doing this... so sometimes it might get a bit slow. But I will post updates as often as I can.

So first off, here is a pic of some of the Eldar that I already have had assembled. I have alot more that are not pictured, but these were just sitting out.


As far as a color scheme, I am going for a black model with pink, and blue on it. I am hoping this will give the models a Slaaneshish (Yes, I just make that word up...) kind of look to them.
I have not decided what colors to paint the converted parts, (Nid Bits) but I was thinking something along the lines of pink or green....

I am looking for any ideas/comments! So PLEASE post if you have ANY input about this. I have started on my first test model.. but have not gotten to far...

Like I said, still WIP, but at least I am trying to work out where to put the colors.. (Of course these do not have highlights.. ect..)

And here are two pics of one conversion that I finished.



And I want to have some models like this, and then some Eldar models with normal heads in a unit. This way it will make them look like some were more infected than others. I am also going to be giving some wings, different faces, and different arms on the back ext.. and maybe greenstuffing some tentacles on them somewhere as well.

I am still working on ideas for converting vehicles and wraithlords and stuff.... I was planning on putting Hive Tyrant Wings, or Balrog wings on the wraithlord of Falcons somewhere to make them look like the vehicles themselves are alive, but I am still tossing around ideas. (Again post if you have any ideas!)

So, what are your thoughts so far? Any ideas/comments?

Thanks so much for reading all that. And I hope this will be a fun P&M blog for all of you.

Thanks again!

I'm wondering which army's rules you intend on using.

I am planning on using the Eldar's rules. I may have gone a little overboard of switching parts out on that first model, but you will be able to tell they are Eldar on the rest of them...

My goal is just to make them look pretty infected...

Thanks!

Ok, so I had a little time last night to work on them, and this is the progress I made....

I decided that maybe changing the heads and all might be a little to much convertion work.... XD So I think I will just stick to the arms/wings and stuff.

So here is a model with just the Nid arms added...



I have ALWAYS loved wings on people. Whether it be in video games, movies, pictures, or models, this is something that I have always loved. So in this army of infected Eldar, I am going to want alot of them to have some sort of wing conversion to them. (Whether it be just a certain unit or something..)

So I had a little inspiration from Final Fantasy Advent Children, (Great movie if you love FF.... actually, it's great even if you don't. XD ) I just added one wing on an Eldar Guardian kinda like Sephiroth did in the movie. Now, I was not planning on giving the Eldar Guardians wings,(Maybe the Aspect warriors...) but I just use them sense they are the cheapest things to practice my convertions on until I get something that I like. Then I gave the leader of the squad.. (Can't rember what you call it....) two wings.
Here are some pics.



What do you guys think of the wings?

Any comments/suggestions would be greatly appreciated as always!!

Thanks!

Chris
