A complete Super Heavy Detachment of Tempest Heavy Grav-Tanks (being used as Scorpions). The models are old Armorcast models, which I picked up off of eBay over the last year.
The latest addition.
I've decided to give each a name as it seems that's an aeldari thing to do... Like the names of their Titans, their names are rather long. The short version of this tanks name is "T'chylmylwynbil". The literal translation of the long name is "The Five-Legged Beast That Stalks Its Prey by Night, Which Lasts Forever"
Oh, those Eldar...
I have come up with names for the others as well....
This one is "Dilytichylmywil" (again, the shorter version - or nick name). The full translation is "Flowering Plant with Excessively Large Sex Organs That Makes the Mon-Kee Blush, But is Very Sustaining and Tastes Good in Soup".
I assure you it's much more poetic (and makes more sense) in it's original Aeldari...
Finally, we have the Command Tank in the Detachment: "Mwalatacyndil" or "Dancer of the Daytime That Promises Fertility and Spins Eternally but Never, Ever Gets Dizzy"
Oh, just wait until you see the names of the Titans I have to paint!

Coming Soon to Tim's Miniature Wargaming Blog:
Probably some Game Reports of the last two games of Apocalypse - and possibly the one from this afternoon.
On the painting front...? Hard to say... Part of me is super-stoked to paint up some Eldar Titans!! On the other hand I've loaded my painting desk with a number of small groups of things to paint that will finish off units and stuff - low hanging fruit, if you will - to fool myself into a sense of accomplishment and actually getting things DONE!
We'll see...

Once in again, nice painting! Don't think I can pronounce those names though! ha ha
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteLike a lot of Gaelic languages, none of them are pronounced at all like they are spelled. For example, the paper pronunciation sounds more like "shoe horn"...
Ha! Good point. :)
DeleteSquadron of super heavies! Awesome! I always liked these tanks, but I feel like they need some fins to bring them into the current Eldar aesthetic. (which I think I said when you bought them)
ReplyDeleteYeah, I have two of the more recent plastic Falcons, and my motivation to paint them has completely dropped off - because I don't think they'll look great with these (and really, with these, who need any Falcons!?). I might just give them to my daughter...
DeleteI'd kind of like to track down a few of the old Armorcast Falcons... as some point.
