The Skorne Project - Part 3

Heres the third (and last for a while) Skorne update.
All lined up and ready to go

It took me a couple days of painting, but the entire Skorne force is now painted and ready to be based. I haven't come up with a specific basing idea yet, but it will most likely be a simple sand and flock method.
Warlock Master Tormentor Morghoul

Lots of Gold
The Cyclops Savage Pair
The mighty Titan Gladiator
The Battle Box force
Warlock Dominar Rasheth

Those poor overworked baby titans

The Skorne Project - Part 2

Here they are!
First models of the Skorne unit done
I went with a really simple method to paint these guys. At the moment I'm working on speed rather than technique, once I'm quicker I can work on more advanced methods.

These guys were done with Mechrite Red, Shining Gold, Mithril Silver, Tallarn Flesh, and Khemri Brown. Then we do a complete wash with Nuln Oil, Deneb Stone for the Front Arc on the base.

A pretty basic paint job, but it's fine for a tabletop quality, and it's getting very quick to do.

Also got the last few models built, that is the metal battle box Warbeasts and Dominar Rasheth.
The big fella

These guys, are horrible to put together, and I know they will fall apart down the line =(

The Dark Eldar Project - Part 5

The unbuilt pile is growing smaller and smaller...
 
And the unpainted pile gets bigger and bigger...
 
Anyway heres two of the new Ravager models all built and ready. I actually made a pretty big mistake, attaching the wrong piece to the center part. I used the Raiders piece rather than the Ravagers (which is required to attach the side mounted weapons). After some hacking and regluing I managed to get them fixed up.
 
I'm still kicking my self for building both at the same time, and subsequently making the same mistake on both models.
 
Pew pew pew zaaap.

The Dark Eldar Project - Part 4

Now to give you guys a look at what happens when I try to convert something.

So my friends Dark Eldar were missing a Klaivex for the Incubi squad. Ofcourse we could just run them as a squad of 4 (its so nice not being limited to 5/10 men #SpaceMarineLists)...

Did I really just make a #something joke? oh dear...

Anyway, we have an extra Dark Eldar Lord model lying around. Since we already have the Archon that can 'counts as' whatever my friend needs I decided to do some conversion work on this Lord model.

My my what very large blades you have.

Nice fancy box with great cover art. But it's the contents we care about!

The Dark Eldar Project - Part 3

Taking a change from all the building this time I finally got my first squad of Warriors painted.

My friend didn't have any particular preference for paint scheme so I decided to go with something easy. Mechrite Red armour, Mithril Silver metals, Knarloc Green eyes and poisons, cover the whole thing in Nuln Oil shade, and finish with a few quick highlights using the base colours. Extra colours included Iyanden Darksun for the hair pieces, and Hormaguant Purple for the Blaster weapon.
Looking good boys!
