Yes, those are Kroot in Eldar armor. Yes, they have ears (the middle one even has a "guardian" symbol earring). -------------------- "The entire Eldar race seems intelligent enough that they shouldn't need caution markings on their vehicles." -Me My current eBay

Keep on coming up with the mad ideas and perhaps one day we will even get rules for some of this stuff.

PLEASE

can i please please please see bigger pics of all the kroot and eldar, these are fantastic, and i'd like to try and have a go, i can see the woody skirts used on the kroot and the eldar, and the fact that the kroot seem to have eldar thighs?

but what are the ears made of, and are they half kroot half lizzy heads?

Cheers

Maxxev

The ears are a very simple conversion, and it's not from Lizardmen. I'm not going to tell you all where I got the pieces for it yet, I'd actually like to see how long it takes for anyone to figure it out. I don't expect it to take long. His pistol is a mix of Kroot rifle, Kroot canister (not sure what they're supposed to represent, power cells?), IG lasgun, and an Eldar weapon clip. -------------------- "The entire Eldar race seems intelligent enough that they shouldn't need caution markings on their vehicles." -Me My current eBay

I still love that little pistol. -------------------- "The entire Eldar race seems intelligent enough that they shouldn't need caution markings on their vehicles." -Me My current eBay

Master Converter Group: Members Posts: 914 Member No.: 627 Joined: 27-April 06	Yes CHS, that is exactly where I got the ears: Wood Elf Spites.

I just carved out a hollow for his head. Armored Kroot do look great, don't they? -------------------- "The entire Eldar race seems intelligent enough that they shouldn't need caution markings on their vehicles." -Me My current eBay

Group: Members Posts: 711 Member No.: 161 Joined: 6-September 05	Trying to think of a way to get "eared" kroot and bel tian to fit... MUST HAVE "eared" eldar Kroot!! The exodite idea is quite cool but then i'd have to come up with a new idea for tanks, and other stuff, and i'm not that hot at that sort of thing... --------------------

With the new plastic weapons platform sprues you should be able to make a good Howdah, (somewhere armoured and armed for the eldar to sit).

Typhoid Gary: again remarkable minis mate. The exodites are really nicely done, very ferral and I love your Kroot.

Confirms an idea I've had for a while too....

Watch this space!

I actually planned on snatching up a few of these this past weekend, but the main HQ accidentally* sent the old metal support weapon blisters to my local store instead of the cool new plastic ones.

* "accidentally" happens a lot with this store. Remember that WD poster with all the campaign commanders that came out a few months ago? There were two commanders with static silhouettes listed as "lost in the warp", they were both from my local GW store.

Now to get my hands on some more support platforms... -------------------- "The entire Eldar race seems intelligent enough that they shouldn't need caution markings on their vehicles." -Me My current eBay
