So this is how it begins. A Dark Eldar player looking for a new direction and a simple idea formed at my FLGS over the conversion of certain models into Exodites. As time passed I mulled the idea over more and more, expanding on that initial idea and spinning entirely new ideas into the project. Eventually it expanded into something concrete, and I decided to begin this blog to cover my exploration into something new I'm currently calling "Outcasts, Loners, and Clowns".
While I've been collecting the pieces for this army, there has been plenty of play testing going on. As such, the army list has been constantly changing in slight ways. Thus, I won't bother posting a list just yet. However, I can say it is Dark Eldar with allied Eldar, but modeled entirely as Exodites, Corsairs, and Harlequins. So far the list has been more successful than expected. Rumors of a new Eldar codex mean the whole project may have to change in a few months, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
Basically, this project is about my love for the Eldar race in all it's forms, while trying to expand my modelling and painting skills. Inspiration has come from the great local hobbyists, previous Exodite projects. With a little extra work, I also hope to introduce some of the visual themes of the early punk Eldar of Games Workshop, and the strange works of John Blanche. I'm excited to see where it leads, and I hope you find the journey interesting as well!
