eldar shadow spectres
The models for the Shadow Spectres are fantastic and unique, whilst still retaining plenty of the design cues that immediately mark them as Eldar. The only conversion work that I did on these miniatures was to cut down their scenic bases so that they appeared to be floating rather than flying.date: 2012 - 2022 (complete)
