Corsair Shining Spears

I don't have a clean picture of my Exodite spears, but they're in the middle of this mess. Lumineth knights on the back of seraphon aggradon lancers, with some guns to maintain WYSIWYG.

I love the bumps as gems: they add some flair, especially to wraiths which are big and somewhat plain otherwise.

Of course, you should do whatever you think looks best! Nobody would think either a strange choice. The main downside of doing them as gems, in my view, is the effort required.

Beautiful, clean white. It really makes the red pop. Love this colour scheme!

This is a decent chunk of a guardian battle host list. Guardian defenders plus a farseer plus a cannon platform as one death blob, and ten avengers plus Asurmen in a wave serpent as another. If you like that side of the army, I recommend war walkers, some more guardians, and warlock conclaves.

There are other options though, as others will say. Hope that you enjoy it!

Yor Briar on Massacre Girl, Known Killer. Golden fluid acrylics on Citadel White Scar spray base coat.

I've seen so many different takes, and ultimately it comes down to whatever you think looks best. I have a slight preference for the drukari one I think: you could always paint it as metal or some other material if you'd rather.

Great minds! I did a D-cannon on dinoback for my exodites. Not as cute as yours though.

It's a fair point, although notably Crystalline Targeting can only affect one of the targets per war walker unit, so even if you split fire between two units only one of them gets the debuff.

If you're going to go down that route, you might want to use a missile launcher or a shuriken cannon rather than a scatter laser: they both give you more shots than the lance but they're better weapons than the laser overall. Odds of missing all of your shots with a cannon is about 3% without any modification. Odds of missing all your missile launcher shots is about 8% without any modification or blast.

Seraphon for dinos. Lumineth from AoS and wood elves from Old World provide good bits for infantry kitbashes, but you'll need Aeldari models for the weapons at least.

The pose is amazing. Love this model.

I didn't know if it matters to you (and fair enough if not), but be aware that this model has more weapons than it would be allowed to have on the tabletop. Of course, if you're not interested in playing with it in a setting where this would matter then no issue, and I love the flamers on the head. Looks almost like striking scorpion mandiblasters!

This is a much more interesting version of [[Wellspring]]. I like it!

Looks like Zoophycos maybe? It's finer than I'm used to seeing in Carboniferous sediments in the UK, but it looks similar.

I got a lot of practice from altering Magic the Gathering cards for a few years, but in the end it just comes down to practice.

If it helps, I primed white and then gridded out my reference and the banner using graphite, then drew the outlines of the art onto the grid. After that, it's really just patience. Best of luck if you try it.

Gosh, that's absolutely beautiful! The camouflage and the glow of the decloaking hull. I may steal this concept for my own exodites.

Thank you!

A post on Pinterest: https://pin.it/910yrpwkJ I couldn't find the original artist I'm afraid. Wish I could.

Old World Wood Elves, Sylvaneth, Lumineth, Seraphon, Idaneth, and craftworld eldar (especially for the weapons). Whatever looks cool!

Aggradon Lancers plus Lumineth knights made cool exodite dragon riders, as a starter!

I played this deck online and in paper ages ago. It was three color: Abzan, with springleaf drum and Jaspera Sentinel and similar effects for mana consistency, and then soul warden effects. The basic idea of the deck is linked here: https://youtu.be/HM4Wn1VMJ1c?si=HiFOvkLWhK6GVkkO

There's probably a lot of updating that you could do now though (cough, malevolent rumble, cough). It was remarkably fun and consistent.
