Starborn Ancients Eldar Miniatures: Artel W Unboxing

Starborn AncientsCheck out some new alternative Eldar models from Artel W miniatures, with great detail and dynamic poses these might just fit into your army!

Artel W miniatures make tons of models and they even have their own flair when it comes to packaging. This time around Rob got some of the new “Starborn Ancients,” better known as alternative Eldar models. They always have insane detail and are very dynamic, so let’s dive in and see how these compare!

Starborn Ancients Eldar Miniatures: Artel W

fire dragonThe first Flaming Drake or “Not Firedragon” that Rob gets together looks sweet. The scales on the shoulders are reminiscent of the Alpha legion 30k models, perfect for mimicking dragon scales!

fire dragon captainThe squad leader is up next and is just as detailed. With his Captain Morgan style pose, he will for sure stand out among his super soldiers.

female drake and size compareWe also have a female variant and our trusty Death Korps-man for size comparison. The detail is on the same levels as before and the female is about the same size as the male counterpart. These Eldar models are slightly taller than the guardsman, as they should be. They’re certainly near-perfect alternatives in almost every way.

seeresLast up is a female Seer-ess. Just as dynamic if not more than the previous models, this wizard is ready to scrap and cast some spells along the way.
