More Eldar. First up, six Firestorms. Like the Warp Hunters, these are forumware turrets on 3D-printed hulls. I already had 3 of the old Forge World models but wanted to have a few more and also, for consistency, wanted to avoid the 'type-2' hulls, so I assembled these to both supplement and replace the ones I had.

As I mentioned before, the one problem with my forumware Lynx models is that they're significantly bigger than my E40k-era Engines of Vaul. In order to use the two together without looking silly, I needed to print off some new EoV in the new style and scaled consistently with the other models. I've started with these Scorpions.

Finally, I have a new Avatar of the Bloody-Handed God. There's nothing particularly wrong with the Swordwind-era Avatar model I already had, but this model was so good that I had to have one. It's a W40k model that I've scaled down and I've taken some liberties in doing so; rather than reducing it to 20% of W40k as standard, I've printed it at 35% instead. That's mostly because I was worried that if I went any smaller I'd lose too much detail (and leave what was left much too tiny to paint). But also, given that the unit is supposed to be a DC3 War Engine, so I figure having it at a similar size to a SHT or Scout Titan makes sense. The resulting model is 52mm tall to the top of her hair and 63mm to the top of the spear.

At this point I'm not entirely sure how much of my Eldar army I am planning to re-do. Previously the plan was just to add the extra grav-tanks from the Yme-Loc list, replace the SHTs and Titans with properly-scaled versions, and to replace the Night Spinners and Fire Prisms with modern versions for consistency. But it's always bugged me slightly that my Wave Serpents have Starcannon rather than Shuriken Cannon, so it might be nice to re-do those to make them WYSIWYG. And Lord_Chronos' Aspect Warriors, Guardians and Rangers are so nice that it is quite tempting to do some of those as well. By which time there won't be much left that I haven't replaced!
Regardless, it'll probably be Cobras next.
