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!)
Good grief, was looking at some eldar things online and came across this site, how mad is that!
Hows things with you?
Finished my stint as a graphics programmer working on Burnout Paradise and took up a city job for a financial firm! Back in london and relaxing into a 9-5 job.
Bunch of people heading to sonar this year if you’re about.

Hi mate,
So you tracked me down! Damn all those years of hiding and my Eldar give me away!!
Good to hear from you, I can’t believe you are working in the City now?!? what a “real” job with shirts and ties? This I have to see to believe!
I’m living in Chislehurst, still with Susan my girlfriend (about 5~6 years now, eeeek!) and I work for HP, as a solution architect.
Where are you living these days?
We’ll have to meet up and have a good old natter, I’m not around the next few weeks (some work in Norway, of all places) but after that will be cool.
BTW drop me you real email address, the yahoo address you put on this comment doesn’t work. My address is benc(’dot’)uk(-at-)gmail(’dot’)com
