eldar void dragon hatchling squad 1

In the Void Dragon pirate fleet, "Hatchlings" are new recruits that have yet to be fully initiated into their ranks. In gaming terms they can be fielded as regular Eldar Guardians. I wanted to make each squad member look like an individual; more so than in the more disciplined, regimented Craftworlds.

date: 2009-present (work-in-progress)
components: Eldar Guardian boxed set, Eldar Dire Avenger boxed set, Dark Elf Black Ark Corsairs boxed set, Eldar Storm Guardian boxed set, War Walker pilot head, Skeleton warrior horn, guitar wire, plasticard, Green Stuff

The gloved hand holding the knife is from the Dark Elf Black Ark Corsairs kit.

Thin strips of plasticard were used to make these spikes.

2. This squad member was assembled to look like my original concept sketch above (albeit a mirror image of it), using a Guardian torso and Dire Avenger legs and weapon.

3. Another Hatchling; this one is holding a mysterious artefact that he recovered during one of the Void Dragons' raids.

4. A close-up of the artifact. It has no relevance in gaming terms, but is another example of the individuality I've tried to infuse in each squad member.
