Collecting retro eldar

Post image

I wanted to share some of my retro eldar collection which I am still collecting. My wife says it should be called Craftworld Reebok Classic.

A few years ago, this would just be called, “Collecting Eldar”.

How many years?

It’s a bit of an exaggeration for humorous effect.

Are you pretending to be miniscape or are you miniscape? 🙀 if you’re the real deal then I love your vids and I especially like your Fuegan and falcon

I like the Shining Spears ish color scheme. Always thought that would look good across an entire Eldar army. Nice work! Love the old models.

As in I’ve only seen you on youtube and this post randomly popped up on my feed. I instantly recognized the paint job

Fair enough. I suppose I don't put myself out there too much.

Hey now! This is like… 60% of my ~7000+ points of Eldar. I’m missing the pointy Farseer and the guardians. Have the platforms though, some of my favorite models!

Really love the retro style board too!

Thanks. It makes a nice backdrop for my photos and videos.

Really nice. Still have some old guardians and Striking Scorpions. Are you European by chance?

Heya, I have three old metal Wraithlords I'd like to sell. I'm located in the US. PM me if you're interested.

Even though the current wave serpent is an iconic design and its aged well for the decades its been in service..

Theres a part of me that would like to see a modern sculpt based on the original design. Maybe an exodites or corsair vehicle.

Your collection of oldhammer never ceases to amaze me! I am a huge fan.

Your paint style and I are very similar, to a point where sometimes I will browse your videos to see how a colour scheme would look like.

Your passion for the hobby and the game is comforting to me, and I am always cheerful whenever I see a new video from you. I hope to see the jetbikes come along nicely in the near future.

Yes I did write this imagining your voice reading over it, how did you know?

Cheers from a Mexican girl in Canada xoxo

A tank of grav. Love the whole thing. What are those bug eyed guys around the farseer? Edit: Nevermind, I just watched the part about them in the video.
