Elven Space Pirates, Ahoy!

Not being the best at maintaining focus, I give you a test model for what will likely be a future army - an Eldar Corsair:

Nothing says "space pirate" like thigh-high boots and a cape!

I don't think the Eldar Corsairs are supported in 8th Edition Warhammer 40,000, but the list from Forge World's Doom of Memeara book will make a nice change of pace for games of Horus Heresy.

Despite the wide array of parts, the conversion is actually a simple one - it's a pair of Dark Elf Corsair legs, a High Elf Shadow Warrior torso (with awesome collar and cape), arms and splinter rifle from a Dark Eldar warrior, and the head and back-mounted "warp-vane" from the Eldar Guardians kit.

I'm also trying to decide how to paint them and have done a handful of mock-ups:

What do you think?

Weedy Grots

After a very long spate sans posts, I give you Shylokk the slaver and his grot charges:

I'm pretty pleased with the grots in particular (though that bit of flash that extreme magnification revealed on the middle grot's ear is frustrating).  So far, only one grot has seen combat, but he has done surprisingly well for such a weedy and cowardly creature!
