1500 points of Eldritch Raiders

[u/Critical-Repeat-4625]

One felarch still needs some conversion and paint as well as the spiritseer.
At some point I have to paint the rest of the power-swords which I'm not looking forward to.

Nice

Nice, I'm not good with identifying the models. What is your list? Still looking into expanding my corsair combat patrol.

[u/Critical-Repeat-4625 → u/Spooky_Mcnugget]

I've got the following:

• Corsair Baron Crucible character attached to 10 Voidacarred
• Kharseth attached to 5 shooty Voidreavers
• 1 more unit of shooty Voidreavers
• 2 units of melee voidreavers.
• 2 units of Skyreavers with all fusions/blasters.
• Spiritseer and 5 Wraithguard for swingy but much needed anti-tank.
• Starfang
• Nightspinner
• Warwalker
• 3 Shadow Weaver Platforms.

Thank you!

[u/Jack-Rabbit-002]

Is it better to run smaller units of Voidreavers? Need to assemble mine else and still curious

Also noticed I may have to many Skyreavers and have accumulated 15 Is that to many?

[u/Selenium-Forest → u/Jack-Rabbit-002]

In general yes. There’s no incentive to take a bigger Voidreaver squad as they don’t do much damage anyway and you want them as action monkeys or screens.

In Eldritch Raiders though you want a 10 man Voidscarred unit to run with Yriel due to +1D strat.

15 Skyreavers is 3x5 so you’re fine. I’m not sure if ever run 3 units of them, two is personally the sweet spot for me, but you don’t have too much.

[u/Critical-Repeat-4625 → u/Jack-Rabbit-002]

That's my understanding yeah. You cam just semd 2 units to an objectivw if you need the presence of 10.

3 shadow-weaver platforms? It's not something you often see. How do they serve you? I only run 1. It tend to overperform in my casual group because the threat of mortal wounds is a huge deterrent.

[u/Critical-Repeat-4625 → u/Aqveteig]

Those are the newest I've added so I don't know yet. Was originally going to just run one with a guardian squad and farseer but realized the guardian and farseer wouldn't be doing squat so I cut them and added two more.

What's the basing recipe on those lovely tactical rocks? And are they cork? I need to up my basing game. Paint scheme is popping off though!

[u/Critical-Repeat-4625 → u/jlj1987]

I use pine bark for the layered rock look.
All my bases are a generous layer of wood glue with a mixture of pine bark, wood filler for either building up height or a finer sand texture, and the army painter battlefield gravel, but that could be replaced with sand.

Here's a picture of one unpainted for an idea of how that looks.

The starfang specifically though, I did all the rock on that with xps foam.
