I’ve started painting again after a long break, this time I started some old Epic scale Eldar I bought cheap on eBay yonks ago. I’ve been meaning to start playing Epic again (NetEpic to be precise), and I figured the first step is getting a playable force together. I’ve started with a Defender Warhost; 9 Falcons and 18 stands of Guardians.

These are the “old school” Eldar from 1990 or so, with the old style square bases. These bases proved to be a total pig, as after spray undercoating the Guardians on the sprue, they didn’t fit in the bases, until I meticulously scraped the tiny layer undercoat from the edge of their minuscule bases, which was mind-numbingly time consuming! I also forgot how fiddly painting 6mm high blokes can be! Anyway they are complete now, I’ve done them in Biel-Tan colours in honor of my old Epic force from years ago (now sadly long lost!)

I’m working on a new set of army cards for NetEpic, I’ve stared with the Eldar and will move on to the other races. These are based on the NetEpic 5.0 rule and army books. I’ll try and keep a relatively upto date version of the cards up here for people to look at.

Latest Version: 11th May 2007
NetEpic v5 - Eldar Army Cards (11-May-2007).pdf

• Support cards are now “half height” like the old Space Marine cards were
• More cards, nearly done the standard Eldar list (phew!)
• Standardized the main color bars, so that they are all purple (for Eldar), but with a slightly different style bar on each of the cards types (company, support & special)

Please let me know, any comments and feedback.
