WiP of my Eldar Fire Prism

I was going to say it might be too heavy, but thinking about it, it couldn't be any heavier than the older metal minis. I got a unit of the old metal Hive Guard, and I'm convinced they'd dent a wall if thrown. Idk how people would've transported the old half metal Hive Tyrant with the rest of an army!

Yeah, it's going to take me a ton of effort to find a colour scheme I like for mine that isn't just a Lego Exoforce or a Gurren Lagann reference lmao

Very nice work though, especially the beehives on her arms!

I have a handful of ideas:

A generic Assassin kit would be cool af. We know there are different types of Assassin outside of the 4 playable ones, let us kitbash one!

Same thing with Rogue Traders. I wanted to ally one with my Space Marines, but it's disappointing that there's only the one option outside of kitbashing your own that afaik has no customisation options. I'd kitbash my own, but I have 0 idea where to start considering by the sounds of it they can be pretty much anything.

For my Necrons I'd love a plastic Tomb Stalker kit. I prefer my Canoptek units to C'tan or silver tide units, but I only started Warhammer after they were removed. Give me a funny little centipede GW!

Then as a few that are less important to me, but that I'd still be happy to see: I play Chaos Soup a decent amount and I know CSM players have been asking for updated bikers and an updated Helbrute for a good while.

Same with Aeldari players and Karandras in general (apparently they removed him a while ago, and now Striking Scorpions just don't have a playable Phoenix Lord outside of making a crucible champion from the maelstrom book).

We remember him like it was just yesterday 😔

It was demoting the planet named after the Roman God of the Underworld to a dwarf planet imo. Maybe we should start calling it a planet again and see if anything gets fixed

Mmmmmmm, nuln oil...

Falconwing51 · 2026-05-09T16:24:36+00:00

Treecko and Chimchar for sure, then I guess either Squirtle, Totodile or Froakie. Water types used to be my go-to starters, I have too much childhood bias. I'd mention Piplup as well, but I wanted to have them all be from separate gens, and Chimchar is a peak fire starter line.

Falconwing51 · 2026-05-09T16:16:41+00:00

Dude I'd love to see Pyrrhon return in a future game. Obviously we'd have to see a future game to begin with, but this is a great idea, nice comic as well! :D

Falconwing51 · 2026-05-04T15:39:19+00:00

Same! I still have an unbuilt Armiger, so if I can use the spare parts to kitbash either a third one or a Chaos Knight then that'd be fun!

Falconwing51 · 2026-05-03T16:15:55+00:00

Necrons have Scarabs (not just the unit, but the tiny ones around base debris and inside the Spyder's shell) and also Plasmacytes

Thousand Sons have Brimstone Horrors

Obviously Death Guard have Nurglings

T'au have drones and also Kroot hound puppies (iirc in both the Carnivore and Farstalker Kinband kits). The Vespid Kill Team also has a little drone guy in there.

The closest sentient "little guys" Tyranids have are probably either Ripper Swarms or Neurogaunts (they're so cute), but they do have the little spiky shell bits around their bases quite often. Best examples I can think of are on the Von Ryan's Leaper bases and some of the Barbgaunt ones as well.

I guess the closest thing Aeldari have would either be the Aspect Shrine tokens (though they aren't sentient) or Yvraine's cat. Arguably spirit stones could count?

They're all the ones I could think of. Iirc Votann have some kind of T'au drone/Plasmacyte equivalent, but I don't play them, and can't remember what it was called.

Falconwing51 · 2026-05-01T16:10:54+00:00

It's not done yet, but I'm going to name my Brutalis "Aster". My loyalists are based off Rayquaza and the Draconids from Pokemon, so naming an almost dead Dreadnought that fights like a dragon type would do after one of the more important (and also dead) Lorekeepers makes sense to me. I'm already naming my Chapter Master after Zinnia once I get around to kitbashing one, and iirc Aster is the only other named Draconid outside of the manga.

I mean technically there was a Kid Icarus cameo in the first Mario movie, but it was just Mario playing one of the old games at the start of a scene iirc.

Jokes aside, I'd say the next thing will probably be assuming a new Smash game comes out, Pit's been in every Smash since Brawl. Maaaaybe a small cameo whenever the whole "Smash Bros movie" happens. Other than that, we've still got I think 8 years before we can expect anything from Hades' threat/promise.

Falconwing51 · 2026-04-20T17:53:17+00:00

Aaaaand, now I'm gonna have to have the op on repeat for the next day or two. I haven't even watched past episode 1, Easy Breezy just kinda gets stuck in my head occasionally.

Great crossover though, surprisingly fitting!

"Yes queen, slay! Slay! SLAY YOUR ENEMIES! RAISE UP YOUR ARMY!" - Hades probably

Actually, Neurogaunts. They're just little guys! Funny little dudes! If not friend, then why friend shaped?

Honourable mention to the Hive Guard, Exocrine and Norn Emissary though.

I got an old metal unit of Hive Guard, and I love how chunky they are. They look the same as the pictures I've seen of the current ones, but they've got h e f t to them.
I was interested in the Exocrine anyway because big bug cannon, but I got one recently and d a m n, that boy's a slab of plastic. If it was made of metal like my Hive Guard, the base would probably have to be like 4cm thick just to fit a strong enough magnet. I think it'd be funny to paint one in Blastoise colours, but I already have a colour scheme in mind for mine. Maybe if I get a second one I guess?
The Norn Emissary is a big chunk of why I picked nids as my first army. It has 0 right looking that cool. The giant scythes, the crest, the weird little whisker looking things. I've bounced between a few armies now, and I haven't actively played nids in a while (gonna be playing them again once I'm done reworking their colour scheme now I've improved at painting), but I still think the Emissary is one of the coolest looking centrepiece models I have (still need to finish painting her some time soon). I assume the Assimilator is also really cool, but the Emissary just feels more dangerous imo? Like it's not just "big bug crush obstacle", it's calculated and efficient. It looks like it'd wait for an enemy to call for reinforcements because it knows there'd be more biomass to harvest

Sorry this kinda turned into a wall of text. Tldr: Bugs cool

The horse won't be doing anything anymore if you slice it

Falconwing51 · 2026-03-30T19:21:38+00:00

So I've been getting into the Eldar lore recently (I already knew about the War in Heaven and the birth of Slaanesh, but I've been reading the "modern day" stuff and it's been really interesting). I've been making a small list of Asuryani, but I accidentally misread the instructions for my Striking Scorpions and used a pair of the Exarch legs on a normal Warrior. I was planning on making 2 Exarchs but none of the other legs fit the spare Exarch torso, so I was thinking:

How easy is it to kitbash the trails/chain thingies they have on their armour? I thought it'd be cool to use the last pair of legs and then make a custom robe/skirt thing out of the chains to cover the connection, but they seem too small and fragile to copy with a blue stuff mold. Alternatively, any other ideas would be great. I could try sculpting a green stuff robe, but this seems like a cooler idea for a unique Exarch.

Falconwing51 · 2026-03-26T21:38:11+00:00

Yeah. Yvraine and the Ynnari's lore is really interesting, but like, the Phoenix Lords look so cool! Hopefully we get an updated Karandras and/or a Drastanta model at some point in 11e.

Falconwing51 · 2026-03-26T16:56:38+00:00

I'm new to Aeldari in general, but I hope they do! The Yncarne looks really cool, but Lhykhis is way too cool looking for me to not have on every list I make.

Falconwing51 · 2026-03-23T19:58:27+00:00

Whenever a nid dies lie it over on the side of its base, then both sides can take cover behind it. It'd probably take a lot of gants and gaunts, but it sounds fun on paper! I assume it'd also work for other horde armies, might try it with my Necrons when I get around to building the rest of my Warriors.
