Battle for the Craftworld - Alaitoc Army on display

In this post we take a look at the Alaitoc Craftworld Eldar army for the NOCF 2105 Charity Army Raffles. Just the composite photo at the moment, to give you all an idea of the contents of the army. We'll be rolling out additional photos/features between now and the prize drawing at the beginning of September.

This is the list for the army above:

HQ

• Baharroth - dynamically posed with new, feathered wings.

• Autarch - equipped with warp-jump generator and fusion gun.

• Farseer - ready to lead the army down advantageous pathways.

• Warlock Seer Council (4) - strengthen your psychic presence.

• Spiritseer - one who communes with the spirits of the Eldar dead.

Elite

• Fire Dragons (5) - painted in their classic scheme with an Exarch.

• Striking Scorpions (6) - including an Exarch that can switch its weapon loadouts.

• Wraithguard (5) - implacable fallen spirits ready to lay waste to their foe.

Troops

• Guardians (10) - including a Heavy Weapon platform with multiple weapon options.

• 2 x Dire Avengers (5) - both units have an Exarch with differing weaponry for maximum flexibility.

• 2 x Guardian Jetbikes (3) - both units are the brand new Jetbike models so that you are up to date : )

• 3 x Wave Serpents - your units can ride swiftly and in style.

Fast Attack

• Swooping Hawks (11) - includes an Exarch, painted in a great purple scheme that contrasts well with the yellow helmets of the rest of the army.

Heavy Support

• Wraithknight - armed with twin wraith cannons, this ghost warrior towers over everything else!

• Falcon Gravtank - the classic Eldar transport with multiple weapon options.

A fast and flexible army, these defenders of the Alaitoc Craftworld can certainly take on most forces that stand in heir way.

Our thanks to the painters for this army: Brian Ballard, Chris "Jawaballs" Dubuque, Jeff Jenkins, Ken Webb, Max Dubois, Will Thorton, Neil Szabo, Celso Mendez, Dave Taylor, and Kelvin Goh.

And our thanks to our sponsors who contributed to this great project. Please support them, so that they can continue to support us!

Battle for the Craftworld - Sons Of Orar Adeptus Astartes on display!

Here we are with a look at the Sons Of Orar Adepts Astartes army for the NOCF 2105 Charity Army Raffles. Just the composite photo at the moment, to give you all an idea of the contents of the army. We'll be rolling out additional photos/features between now and the prize drawing at the beginning of September.

HQ

• Chapter Master on Bike (currently blacked out, this model is being painted for a two-part feature in Figure Painter Magazine)

• Librarian (currently blacked out, this model is being painted for a two-part article on a major blog)

Troops

• 3 x Tactical Squads - These squads come with a variety of weaponry, including quite a lot of swappable options!

• 3 x Drop Pods - with stormbolters and loads of hazard stripes.

• 2 x Bike Squads - With the Chapter Master mounted on a bike, these become troop choices!

Fast Attack

• Assault Marines - contains a power fist and plasma pistol for some extra punch.

Heavy Support

• Centurions w/grav cannons - these five solid models have a great deal of menace.  

• Vindicator - a massive dozer blade protects a bigger gun.

• 2 x Predators - one of these is magnetized with all the options.

A fast-deploying army with some strong support, these Sons Of Orar Astartes are ready to land anywhere in the world and will hold up against many of the Imperium's foes.
