The Overwatch

Fresh from the BTP Flickr Page. You have to admit, the colors are beautiful. The purples and blues and greens really play well together.

Great model and excellent painted. Does it remind you guys of anything? NO? How about this…

If you love this model so, buy it here! If it’s a bit out of your price range… which is probably is.. then admire it more here.

Dat beard. Let’s be honest, I wish I had a beard like that. Unfortunately, the Emperor thought it just to bless me with the ever-lasting teenage trash-stache that is my facial hair. #Jealous. Oh god- I am so sorry I take it back, I’ll never hashtag on this blog ever again. Done by Suspiratus

A MWG exclusive preview of a new Tohaa Sakiel Regiment for the Infinity game by Corvus Belli. Tohaa is my army of choice, why? Because they are devious-bastards who love to trick others to do their work. Much like me Like no one I know…..

Some lore on this model:
Given the relevance of number 3 in the Tohaa culture, all numbers that are multiples of 3 are reserved for designating prestigious multipurpose units, those notable for their mobile and adaptative qualities. The number 36, or Sakiel, refers to endeavor and stubbornness in the face of an enemy or a particular type of opposition.

Profile:
There are two main requisites to be part of the Sakiel regiment. The first is to possess combat experience with a good record of frontline actions. The second is to have suffered a personal tragedy. All Sakiel are native to the Colonial Systems, all coming from Tohaa worlds that have fallen under the Evolved Intelligence’s domain. They have all seen their cities and their loved ones burn. They are all uprooted soldiers without a home to return to, without families with which to reunite. However, they all share a personal objective: Vengeance. Their sole purpose is to make EI pay for the atrocities it and its associated races have committed. A cold hate is nestled within the hearts of the Sakiel which erases any other emotion they might feel. None of them will fail in their commitment and not one will renounce their mission; the Sakiel are willing to make the ultimate sacrifices to strike back at their greatest enemy without hesitation, doubt, or mercy.

So I posted this for two reasons really. One, I forgot how much I enjoy some of the older Eldar models. Two because I wanted an excuse to test out the .gif capabilities of the blog. This new neck-beard one is pretty damn great and would be pretty amazing as a reoccurring gif. Thoughts?
