Thanks guys. I have been trying to take a lot of pictures both to keep a record of my progress and I want lots of pictures left after the army gets packed up and sent off.
The final flyer unit is done.

Gorgeous! I'm totally hyped about painting my Eldar again! Too bad I need to paint 1000pts of Fantasy for Friday . . . and almost none of it is even built.
Love the flyers though. Can't wait to see the Revs.

Mark, I notice that the first flight of Nightwings had fixed back whilst the second 'spread' wings, did you get to keep them moveable or glue them in those positions?

I glued them in position. The little lug things to let them move didn't come out in the mold and with the way I pinned them on the base and to avoid paint damage I thought it was best to glue them in place. I used the different wing positions to differentiate between units.
The objective markers.
I had the most fun with the crashed wave serpent and wrecked titan. The statue was pretty much just a quick afterthought for games where the Wraithgate isn't in use (couldn't think of anything more creative).
I'll probably take a couple of more photos of them when I have better lighting conditions. Now if I can just finish two Revenants tomorrow night the army will be ready to pack and send away.
++++edit - note the back door of the wave serpent has blown out, letting a few guys escape. Kim cut a little door out for me from one of the blister packs to put on the ground in the rubble. I thought it would look cool having crashed through a wall. I originally wanted to try and make it look like it had hit a tree but there wasn't room on the base.

Mark,
Are you ever going to stop out doing yourself with marvelous work. Time and time again you continue to impress with this fantastic work. The objectives are great, cant wait to place them out and then battle for their control.
Cheers
Aaron

2nd last model before I pack this up tomorrow. I ended up deciding to take leave tomorrow so I can take a heap of photos before I send it off and then do some stuff around the house before the easter long weekend. I will miss this army when its gone its probably the best presentation of a whole army project that I have ever done.

Its definitely been awesome fun. I've posted up progress on a few forums and had a few people vow to start playing Epic on Warseer and Westgamer which is cool. Some funny comments to at times. Now I just need to do this on one of my armies and get it fully done  .
I think the creation of an army definitely has to be a labor of love. You have to be in it for the pure enjoyment of creating something special.

It came at a very good time for me letting us pay my daughters school bill for the year after struggling through Christmas.
That's really cool.

Well done mate.
Outstanding and inspiring job. Painting armies can be draining but you've stuck to your guns and made something special here.
