Without exception Goffik rock is an essential element to any Ork warband. Even the Snakebite Orks, the most primitive and tribal of the clans uses Goflik rock in ceremonies and rituals, The Goff clan however uses Goffok rock in every aspect of their lives especially warfare. Goffik rock seems to feed on the psychic energy that the Orks produce when they get excited. The Ork mekaniaks have managed to build a device that ‘magnifies this ‘wauagh’ energy, this instrument is called a Jammer and greatly resembles a massive electric guitar. The boyz who learn to control and master this device earn the illustrious title of Goffik Roker. This is truly one ofthe finest achievements any Gotf Ork could strive for. Goffik Rokkerz have a potent effect on ‘Orks around them and tend to cause anarchy in an already chaotic army.

For three days the fight had continued. Many thousands of lives had been lost in this biter strugele. Warlord Ghazekull Thraka of the Goff clan looked on the camage. For the moment the two factions appeared to he waiting, positions held, ‘weapons locked. Perhaps trying to calculate each others remaining strength, perhaps taking advantage ‘of the temporary lull in the fighting. Suddenly the waiting was over, Goff boyz. surged forward, firing their weapons off in a seemingly random manner. Anticipating this type of action the Eldar forces dug- in and sent oat Banshees and Scorpions to meet their foc. Two Warlocks. Witchblades in hand. accompanied the Eldar retalliation. Warlord Ghazghkull Thraka grinned broadly as he atop a shattered Eldar shrine in the midst of the Ork horde. Raising his head to the heavens, he called upon Gork and Mork to release the power within him. 'WAAAARGH™ The bloodbath was about to begin... Farseer Ilerion, let the waves of raw Waargh energy wash over him, unaffected by the raw homicidal tain, the faces of the two Warlocks by his sides were masks of horror ind disgust, they were too inexperienced to close their minds to the Waargh power and it showed.

Their heads lowered and they ontinued to pound on those instruments with brutal force causing themselves fo ahsorh the waarph enerey from the battle.

Take the bottom par of the Jetbike and remove the shuriken ‘cotapulie with a sharp knife. Tidy up the reculting gp with your needle files. 3. Take the Doomwoaver web spinners and remove the ‘muzzles with your knife or razor saw. These will now fit into the gaps once filled by the shuriken catapults.

At this point tis a good idea wo check over the whole model for visible joins and gaps. ‘These will need to be filled with some putty and smoothed before going on. ‘What you now have isthe finshed model which with a good paint job is perfectly adequate for your battles. Altematively yu can do what I've done and relly go 10 town on the model ‘with some modelling putty, some extra bits and a huge amount of patience, Hoy to improve your model, ‘There are a number of ways to improve on your finished model I's really is up to you what you do. but here's a few tps. Roll a Title modelling putty into # Tong strip and cut it into 110mm seetions. Bach ofthese can be wound into small spirals and circles which can be added to your model to produce « kind of embossed effect. ‘Additional cables and pipes can be easily added by using a thin piece of wire attached to the model and glued in place. This Wire can then be covered in modelling putty and scored with the edge of alte to produce a sectioned effect. Alteratvely, ‘you fm use spare weapon pipes from Eldar arm sprucs. Some types of modelling patty an be rolled out on a smooth surface Such a5 a sheet of glass or ale, Afler the puily has hardened, you can cut shapes out of it and use them as mines and icons which can be attached to the fat surfaces of your model, Inthe case ofthis conversion and other Eldar models i is very tempting to add afew more gemstones and waystones here and there. This can be done as follows. Roll a litle putty into a ball, squeezing the sides wlttle 0 ‘produce an oval shape. This will need to be carefully pushed ‘on fo the model, taking care not to distort the shape of the sphere. neccesary, a thin ring can be added using a rolled out strip of putty, carefully wrapped around the edge of the {gemsunne.

(On tuy sale] of Yurhilien Fave aslded two flat homs to the side of his helm, These we failly easy 10 achieve using the following method. Curved sword blades such as those on plastic Tyranid boneswords are ideal. simply remove them from their hilte snd carve them into the appropriate shape with a sharp craft knife. These can then be glued to the sides of the helmet. When tis is done, fl in the gaps with some putty and allow to dry. A similar method wes also used to produce small ‘spines on the knee pads and on ofthe elbow pads, adding to the ‘overall spikeyness ofthe model Something that 1s tairly charactenstic of Eldar is personal ‘omamentation such as rings, scarves and buckles. ‘These can all be added to your model with your putty and alte patience, Thave added a snall ring to one of the horns on Ymthiliens ‘helmet and a scarf tied round his log for oxira effect.

Seeing as the the only bit missing from the Howling Banshee is the power sword, you could easly attach a plastic power sword ‘or other Weapon from an Eldar weapons sprue to produce an unusual variant. 2. An aary comvarsion 10 da ig to tales the headings Siiking Scorpion and place mother heal on it's shoulders.

Another idea which just came to mind is chopping up all the bits you've got left and making something completely bizzare like a female Stiking Scorpion uring the limbs from the existing Scorpion and the torso from the Howling Renchea In sition yew eal substitute the existing asm for ois fom an Didar arm apruc to give you an eltsmative pose, 6. With a bt of care and a delve into the old bits box, either of these slightly hacked up Aspect Warriors could be turned into an imeresting Exarch, 7.

Many Crafiworlds rode out the psvchie shock wave and survived that way. but the Exodites hhad already reached places of safety - or else they perished With the rest of thei race and have been forgotten. ‘The Eldar path determines the way of life forall Craftworlders ‘but not for the Exodites. Because of this they seem wild and individualistic compared to other Eldar, more independently minded and adventurous by far than their cousins. ‘They can survive in this fashion because they are distant from the Eye of Terror, the hole in the fabric of space which still cts as a psychic focus for the destructive influence of Slaanesh. This alone is not enough to protect them, but itis a significant factor. More importantly, the Exodite societies are more rigorous and physical than chose of the Craftworlds. Where the Craftworlds cling to the past and preserve all they can of their fallen civilisation, the Exodites have tured their backs ‘upon ancient traditions in favour of a simpler and harder way of lif, Thoit minds are toughor and more ctraightforvard but ‘not so subile and ultimately less powerful than the Craftworld Eldar, However, they have survived, and of all the Eldar they ‘seem most likel¥ to continue to do so. ‘War and battle is not uncommon on the worlds ofthe Exodites. Ort raide are n constant threat and fnman settlers are no respecters of Eldar territory. Amongst the most persistent foes are the human settlers of the Knight Worlds which lie closely intermingled with the planets of the Exodites. The human Knight Lords are aggressive, warlike people whose determined independence maker i€ imposible for even the Imperium to control them. Like the Exodites they are descendants of anciont setters, raised amidst constant danger and proud of their autonomy. Their fierce war machines are a {coulane sight ou the Bxvive worlds, Bailes between giant ‘war machines and valiant Eldar dragon warriors are always hard-fought and destructive. But the Eldar are capable of aggression ta. They use the Webway to reach the Knight ‘Worlds where their raids are often so devastating that entire planets are subsequently abandoned. Eldar Scout Walkers Were first noticed on these raids, and not long after the first Sentinele appeared on himan Kaight worlds.ELDAR SCOUT WALKER ee ey HOLO FIELDS ‘The type of Holo-Field used by the Eldar Scout Walker is a smaller version of the ones mounted on Eldar Titans. the cffectsof this device are to make the Eldar Scout Walker extremely difficult to hit.
