I’m going to WarGamesCon, and taking a ‘fluffy’ 3000 point force fully painted in 33 days is going to be quite a challenge, however I am quite far along. Most of what I have to paint are tanks, which I have all the drivers and gunners already painted (luckily I did those two years ago)! 83 models for 3000 points. I wish it could be a higher model count, but I’ve always preferred mounted Eldar armies. I might change some things around to include some Dark Reapers, they are Biel-Tan, for Khaine’s sake.
My Current Focus (updated 6/5)
4 7 (I decided to go ahead and do them all in one fell swoop) Wave Serpents with Shuriken Cannons on top and bottom.
My More-Than-Likely Next Focus
10 Striking Scorpions + 2 Exarchs, although if the 4 wave serpents get completed quickly and I’m not burnt out I may finish off the remaining 3
My model list and progression
19 Dire Avengers – completely painted and ready for war!

Remaining Models and Units
Note: these are a far cry from all that I own (although it’s a majority of my Falcon Chassis — all but 5 if I recall), just all I’m taking to Wargamescon

1 Striking Scorpion Exarch – Biting Blade (not in the 3000 point list, but in my team tournament list if I get to play — see below) – Assembled and on on the painting table!
10 Striking Scorpions – Assembled and on on the painting table!
7 Wave Serpents – Shuriken Cannon; TL Shuriken Cannons – needed to be stripped, reassembled and painted Assembled and on on the painting table! – missing 2 underside shuriken cannons – may have to do some bitz buying or try a couple of conversion ideas 🙂
3 More Fire Prisms – A trade out with Brent has procured me 3 more metal Fire Prism bits (I have disassembled Falcons I can put them on, this will give me a 6 strong Sunstorm Formation).
The Unfortunate News
My Team Tournament’s partner’s in-laws house burned down, so he’ll be taking his time off to help them rebuild. I truly feel more sorry for their loss than the loss of my partner. So Gauthic may be UStreaming Friday night events; I’ll put some thought on it. Perhaps one of the locals will step up and join the Biel-Tan warhost, either way I plan on having Fun Friday night 🙂
