Thanks buddy. Yeah bone is a great colour for the fallen kin.

You still there? I love your DE blog, hope its not dead.

Awesome work! And another Vect-hater to boot!

I am here!!! This aint dead, just put on pause while I am learning songs for a band I am joining and doing assessments!

I am having a planetstrike battle tomorrow. I will post pictures and a little fluff about it as soon as I can!

Sweet, looking forward to it!

I appologise for the lack of photos, my camera decided it hates the new memory card... Much to my anger... Nevermind, Cyrax had his day.

The game was really brutal from the get go as most Planetstrike games are. We played a simple planetfall mission with my corsairs as the attacker and an allied force of deathguard and craftworld eldar (Their temporary alliance makes more sense in the fluff below.) I won the game simply by tabling my two opponents and leaving them agasp. The dice gods or perhaps Cegorach was on my side and every unit arrived on time where I wanted them save the hellions who decided, like the memory card to refuse to co-operate.



Fuegan released his grip on the rail to the ancient imperial bastion, leaping to the ground, the sand around his landing turning to glass.

The raider smashed into the top balcony sending shards of rockcrete and steel flying into the guardians below. Cyrax K'oviac gathered his cloak around him and activated his shadowfield, darkness enveloped his form as he flipped over the edge and into the survivors beneath him. Bone crunched beneath his boots as the melee swirled around him into a storm of bloodshed.

Seth Shadowtheive kicked the dead gunner from the front of the raider, the impact having killed him. Through the smoking haze he spotted Fire Dragons moving to their position, he charged the disintegrator and let loose, white hot plasma melting armour and flesh before him.

Ometh ordered his squad to fire, all eight of them took up their arms and let loose a hail of poisoned shards that filled the air with a thick toxic haze. A loud crack burst the air as a bolter round hit him square in the shoulder plate and exploded. Ometh hit the sand and was caught on the chains beneath his kabalite raider as it moved to another position.

Cursed Brother Khaon rounded the corner of the bastion as his shot hit the alien and sent him flying from his stance on the deck of the vehicle. As the eldar fought off their shadows, he would take a vital objective from beneath the compound. Several poisoned shots hit bare, rotting flesh but the poison was not strong enough to fight through his diseased system. He could taste blood from the assault that took place on his arrival, biting the throat out of an alien was a first for him and the taste made him mad with war lust.

Cyrax stood on a mound of bodies, his hands clasped around an ancient huskblade and his head lowered as he bathed in the released souls of his enemies. His concentration soon returned as Ometh landed in the bloodstained puddle in front of him. The kabalite was struggling to get up, one arm missing, his shoulder a smoking wreck. The Archon kicked his skull in and cut the remaining hand off the corpse, placing it in a self cooled pouch at his waist. He released a small black globe from his belt and threw it to the ground.

Through the portal gates Kefka could see the bright realm of real space. From a small unit in his ear came a voice that crawled and thrashed around his mind. The time had come for his troupe to serve the Laughing God and his chosen champion.

Fuegan killed another of the harlequins that came at him, decapitating him with a swing of his fire axe, the heat boiling the blood before it hit the sand. His true enemy revealed himself only for a brief second and his mistake was made more apparent as Fuegan struck out at the Archon, knocking him down his shadowfield dissipating. Just as the Archon took to his feet, Kefka kicked out at Fuegan, hitting him in the jaw, before his blade could hit the Phoenix Lord again Fuegan was gone. He simply vanished before the troupe master's eyes. Cyrax glared at the young harlequin for driving off his enemy before revenge could be made.

Seth placed the flag of the Scarab Prince upon the crude imperial fortress and looked down over the smoking battlefield. This place would do until they felt the need to move again. Something caught his eye, a large shape tracking over the sand dunes to the east carrying a large box upon it's shoulders. Curiosity took him.

I really like the fluff you add to your blog. More people should do this.

My gaming crew are into the gaming for the story lines etc that we often create. I will be updating this blog with images when I get this camera sorted.
Until then, the scarab prince will continue to sew madness and destruction where it hurts the most.

I really like the story and your models look fantastic. My own dark Eldar lack compared to yours sadly, I hope you keep the blog going I'd hate to see a amazing thing like this die

I'm sure you are capable of a lot more than you are giving yourself credit for. I am working on the hellion squad, there is a lot of nice detail in it!

My friend and I are painting Wednesday so I'll post pictures after that of what I have achieved.

Seth adjusted the robe around the fit of his ghost plate, tying the cloth in place. The armour was just precaution, he was more than capable of killing one of the miscreants should they get out of line.

A dagger strapped to his left leg, two on his right, two pistols around his waist and his splinter rifle over his shoulder. That should be enough he thought to himself.

"Shadowtheive, you've arrived on time, follow me." Seth turned in the direction of the voice, a trueborn stood in the pose of an aristocrat, arrogance plain as white.

He followed Tharoe Serenus down the vast hall and through the large doors, decorated in the mark of the scarab. Inside he found thirteen nobles dressed in black sitting around a vast crescent moon shaped table. They rose as he bowed, best bow while you have your head. House Serenus may claim that they are content with the K'oviac rule but the Kabalites all know that should the chance present itself they'd see the Archon destroyed. Rumour had it the squad that escorted him to war was made of every third born son of Khaleth himself and their armour was fitted with a collar of thorns. Should their thoughts wander to his destruction, the collars would tighten and they would choke.

Seth wanted to choke every Serenus. He did not care for their pathetic rituals and ancient ways. Vect had changed all of that. Not that he cared much for Vect either, his lineage swore a denial of his slave beginnings.

"Sybarite, you are to meet with the Baron Sathonyx, do you know of him? He is a distasteful, up start bastard. You'll probably enjoy his company. The Scarab Prince requested you. I suggested Tharoe, as he is far more capable. Perhaps the dread Archon hopes you will die this evening?" Spoke an ancient and venerable shape. No doubt it was Lokaan, the first true son of Khaleth.

"As you will it, it will be Dracon." Replied Shadowtheive, he hid his contempt for the weak old fool.

The Scarab Prince has struck a deal with the Baron. I'm just waiting on the resin model to come out. Shouldn't be too long I hope.

I love your short blurbs. I really need to start doing my own. *sigh*

Such beautiful work. It... It makes me so self conscious of my own!

So my local gaming store is having a sale and well, I can't resist and I've ordered some more hellions. I plan to convert my own version of the baron.

His talents are beyond the level of most, borderline supernatural. His hands have held the still beating hearts of mortals and his body remains youthful from the taste of blood.

Nemesis rides to war upon his skyboard and the sky is blotted out by the shapes of speeding punks and miscreants.

Death rides to war.

Greetings Mon-Keigh. Here is the first update including a couple more hellions and a helliarch.




And now I present Nemesis, my version of the Baron Sathonyx. Haven't quite worked out the fluff yet but he is a very influential hellion that has allied himself to the scarab corsairs. And last but not least a close up shot of seth, my immortal sybarite. I just had to photograph him with the macro settings on my new camera.




Hope you all enjoy this update as much as I did uploading it!!!

Love the blue armour on the hellions, really bold. Glyphs on the boards themselves are awesome too.

Nemesis overall looks sweet, but not really sold on the spears on the back...the board is fantastic, and the helm suits, but the trophy racks just seem to unbalance it a bit imho

Yeah it looks really random in the photo, the model looks a hell of a lot better. I think it may be the angle of the shots.

I might take another few shots and see how that turns out.

I think the spears look cool. Like a quiver waiting to be used kinda thing. Oh whats that? A space marine trying to drag my of my super sleak-pimpboard? *space marine gets stabbed in the face with a spear*

I figured it would serve as a trophy rack. My hellions are more like a tribe of dark eldar, living on planet Backdraw and living off what they can steal. I want the army to have a desperate nomadic appearance.

He's the top guy cause he killed to get there and is the smartest and toughest. Under his helmet is a fully tattooed face that tells of his life time a little like a Maori Moko. I wish I had a paintbrush small enough to pull that off... But for now he has a helmet!

Hello crazy dark elf alien nasty lovers!

Over the next five weeks I have no uni and the employment rate in my country is so low that it's not even funny.

So what does one art student (soon to be a practising artist) do?

He gets off his lazy behind and gets his awesome melt your face metal loving eqyptian friendly badass army completed.

The new list is as follows and I will post each squad as they are completed.

Baron Sathonyx (Nemesis)

6 Hellions with helliarch and agoniser

6 Hellions with helliarch and stunclaw

6 Hellions

8 Kabalites with a shredder and raider

8 Kabalites with a shredder and raider

5 Scourges with solarite and haywire launcher

1 beastmaster with 2 razorwing flocks

1 Ravager with 3 dark lances

Gonna be an interesting force. Very quick and maneuverable.

Yep sick of other players getting the drop on me early and ripping me to shreds.

Think of it as some sort of air born raiding force, mad maxish and desperate.

Hey followers of the cause, this thread is dead at the moment because I can not upload to dakka, for some reason every image I try to add gets to 5% and stops. I will be back as soon as this is over come. Cheers!

These are some awesome models! Great job on the free hand painting. I will definetly follow this page when you get the chance to upload your pictures again!

Sweeet thank you! Got two pictures for you, one of a further WIP of my shadowseer and one of the hellions, I have a fair few pictures still to go so I'll try again tomorrow morning as its getting late!



The Hellion is Malice, her name is long since forgotten, she is known for her daring acts of brutality and her thirst for human suffering. This pict capture is from the Jhournus Massacre, picturing her just after soul feeding.

Nice Shadowseer

Yes, very nice Shadowseer. I like the grenade launchers, and the diamond pattern. Did you paint each diamond individually?

The purple came out fantastic! very rich and colourfull. Can't whait to see him finished!
