Post by: DPBellathrom


so I've been collecting dark eldar now for a whole month or so and I thought I would share with you all my rise into the dark ranks of comaragoth

heres what I have so far (not including the wychs, raiders and true born that still need painting)

first up my venom (credit to wileythenord for this idea)







dark lances. sooo many dark lances



counts as duke silcus ATM



my first painted wych



my old lelith, being used as a succubus





a haemonculus conversion that I'm working on





counts as baron sathonyx



some sexy free hand



hope you all liked them as there will be more soon. C&C welcome as always

Wow the venom looks great, very creative use of bitz! Photos are pretty horrendous tho, can't see much of anything on the infantry sized ones. Take your shots in more light, and zoom out a bit and then re-crop, your camera (phone?) can't focus from the distance you are shooting.

Very excited to see clearer shots though!

thanks man ^^

I'll try to get the chance to take pics in real light tomorrow if I have time so watch this space

might help if I find my tripod come to think of it


starting dark eldar. 600pts of painted goodness and a new conversion @ 2010/11/24 22:02:39


Post by: MajorTom11


I will!

What kind of camera are you using btw? If it is a compact, then just move back a bit, set it to macro, and zoom in a touch but not too much. It will seem like the picture is too small, but once you get it on the comp and crop it, it will be nice and sharp and more than big enough for posting on here! Tripod wouldn't hurt, but honestly just resting your hands on the table edge from further back would really do the trick!

Very excited to see more, esp after that venom!

That Venom looks great!! If I start a DE army I just might have to borrow that Idea.

Post by: DPBellathrom



MajorTom11: I think its a compact your right about zooming in, its been a while since I used it properly so I'm still trying to remeber the process of getting good pics

Behind th Mask: thanks man it was a pretty simple conversion to do TBH its just a case of moving the hood ford and adding the sails from the raider kit + a few bits and bobs

Using the sails for the Venom is a good idea as I am not keen on them on the actual raider.

venom as a base with the coclpit moved fowred a little, the ruddrs and some plasticard attatched to the sides and a Helf charriot front glued onto the back and two raider sails for the wings pluss a crap ton of spikes where needed hope that helps

I have re-worked my Venom, I still haven't spikey'ed it up yet, but tomorrow sometime I'll post mine up on my blog. It resembles yours a lot, but I changed some things up. I am pretty excited about it, now it actually looks like people could ride in it and I still won't have to bits order anything to make the other 6, just straight up Vypers and spare Raider/Ravager parts!

Really good stuff!

I envy your freshness! Most of my models were bought built and painted too many years ago. Trying to start afresh but still havent bought any new models yet!

Your venom is actually brilliant. A few people have been telling me to use Vypers as the base of the model but that involves buying vypers! haha.

Liquifiers are strength 4. ANYWAY, i like him painted maybe a bit more shading on the rags, they look a little flat atm. The free-hand (harhar: wordplay) is amazing on the wrack head.

thanks guys ^^

Perkustin: thought it was S D6 and AP D6. ah well, I rolled 4+ anyway IIRC I might be adding a wash of devlin mud now that you mention it, or at least another layer of gryphone sepia

Mythrisar: sorry to hear that man gald to be of help though

Tmonster: yes indeed still working out how to do it though . most of my insperation came from the pic on P19 and the war of dark revelations so I'll have to have rackath floating a bit higher than normal and a few tau arms on my wracks lol

any idea if the rat oger sprue would work for grotesques? I was considdering the chaos spawn box but the rats have a rather nice gun for the Liquifier.

a bit of an update for you all:

bought a box or two of dryads and so I've got some more wracks built. no heads saddly as I'm still waiting for then to be grown *cough*casted*cough*



some that I really like







got some raiders started. one of the sail's looks a bit off as its being balanced cos its easyer to paint when its not there.









thats all for now, I plan on building the other 13 wracks tonight and hopefully I'll have those two raiders painted this time tomorrow.

so, what new with my army? the truth is not much :( I've been waiting on those wych heads for ages and so with the school league a mere 9 days away I've had to improvise with my wracks heads, cue green stuff covering a bald deldar head. its not good, pretty or nice to look at and maybe a waste of GS but at least now I can get them painted in better news I've got 2 more incubi painted and my venom is almost done. enjoy

thanks man ^^ I've been getting a lot of tron comments at my FLGS too XD

the wracks are made from dryads. how I did it was I cut the dryad in half then cut the feet off and pinned the stumps to the base. next I made a GS skirt by adding thin layers of GS and ripping them with a pin. next I stuck the torso back on but at a hunched angle and added a head then arms. I'll show some pics later lol

Incubi lookin great too. I like your blue glowness. Nicely done. Dont think Im gonna do the whole glowing crevass thing tho. Its being done a lot now seeing as thats what GW did, but I think Im gonna keep my crevasses dark apart from the engines and gun gems and all that madness.

Hi guys, I'm back from the school league and I think its time for some updates lol

here's the army that helped the team get into 5th place and qualify for the next round and won me 2 wins and a loss (damn that cheesy guard player lol) ^^

first up, my wracks and ed the homunculus











my incubi (these guys killed 15 space wolves, 10 normal marines and a few squads of guard)



and someone to lead them into battle:



their ride got pimped too:





and their faithful chariots (which made a point of blowing as soon as anyone so much as sneezed on them )









and not forgetting the *ahem* fire support that cost a drop pod, a dready and a rhino their lives





aaaaaaand after all that here's a sneaky peek of my next SL army

Your wracks / grotesques look fantastic.

I doubt that GW will be able to release anything that looks better (or even comes close to looking that good).

Good job.

Really nice conversions! I reckon the old Lelith model is way better than the new one.

All I can say is Go Incubi! I'm gonna buy some of those for myself even though I don't have a DE army....when I'm allowed to buy more models that is.

Sweet DE man, I've got into them because of the new looks and thinking of maybe getting some after my marines are of duty.
Nice job with the venom as well

wow thanks every one ^^

Tmonster: I'm gettin the last 5 built tonight, all I need is 1 more splinter cannon. I plan on using them tomorrow as I'm facing guard and theyll mop up any of the infantry units so more on to morrow.

update on the school league:

I've got most of the kabalites built (turns out I only need 15 ) so I'll start painting later in the week

2 of my raiders need the front of the disintergrator choping off and have a dark lance pinned on (this way I can swap between them) so pics on that and maybe a how to later

my other lance raider needs finishing

and I still have to build the other half of a ravager and get that painted

hopefully a (real) update tomorrow and a report on how the scorges did

gah, interweb has been down for the last week so sorry about a lack of updates.

so how did the scorges do? as you would expect light armoured bird people with big guns to perform. all of the shots make short work of annything that comes close to them and they managed to wipe out a lot of guard...however, they did die a lot as light armour isnt good against big tanks :/

so yeah, scorges are worth taking but you NEED to make good use of cover so they dont get shot. I'm facing a nid MC list soon. T6, T1 its all the same to scorges

God Ive love the look of scourges!

Id love to know when theyre being released so I can decide whether to do a conversion or not myself.

What guns dyu take them with?

When I said 'the look' of scourges, I meant the stats and stuff in the codex, as they have no 'look' at the moment lol.

I love the look of yours tho!

thanks man ^^

bad news though, from what I've been told (not mentioning any names) they're going to be coming out in packs of 3 so most likely metal I would hold off from conversions untill you find out for sure though

I give them 4 splinter cannons 8) T8? what T8 lol

lol.

Ah metal models would be terrible. Why do they do it!?!?!

I dunno whether Id take them with anti infantary or anti tank. Maybe a squad of each! I hardly use fast attack at all at the moment which is wierd for a dark eldar army.

I just find the reavers die too easily, and I dont have the hellion models yet and the beasts, again, die too quickly.

Yes, I think 2 scourge squads could be nice!

Really love the Wracks!

Scourges are great too. Even if they do get released in metal (or forbid, a plastic kit) I tihnk a lot of peoples conversions will hold up to the "Offical" minis

NoD: because GW cant have 3 good releases in a row, they have to dissapoint you somewhere along the line lol

Vanq: thanks man ^^ hopefully, I dont want to see GWs models put mine to shame lol
