Completed my second Warrior squad, and nearly finished my Incubi Venom to break it up. I think I'll be focusing on the Incubi themselves and the Talos this week

Tried my hand at more extensive freehand...opinions?

Venom is also rocking underslung cannons nicked from whatisntart I love the look, more jetfighter than...well...whatever a stock Venom reminds me of





And the Talos so far

More Talos progress...

Nice venom! Those underslung cannons make the model look really slick and, I agree, much more jetfighter -y. Maybe we'll see an all venom and razorwing army? Those chains on each cannon are pretty cool, so no I may be stealing from you

The freehand on the side looks good, but you may want to connect or overlap each symbol. Right now it looks like four things next to eachother, rather than one continuous design.

The talos really is an awesome model, I will need to get one of those once I clear off my desk a bit more.

Hmm, I'm definitly asking for a Razorwing for my Birthday But there will be a few Raider chassis present.

Yeah, I'm going to be a bit brave with the Venom and increase the pattern, I'm thinking of using ice blue and shadow grey to add a bit more depth to it as well...I'll see how I go!

Talos done, I'm very happy with him

Trueborn's Venom, in a building mood Again, wanted more of a jetfighter feel, the guys on the back need full field of fire for their blasters

Great looking Talos.

That Talos looks awesome. I feel like the DE miniatures are getting better with every release (minus the beastmaster junk).

The contrast on the red armor and bone colored skin really make the model pop. The freehand runes / symbols on the side are looking much better too! This guy will be a great centerpiece when you display the army.

Looking forward to seeing that second Venom painted up. I'm liking the dynamic pose and the side mounted cannons.

Thanks guys, I'm very proud of the Talos

Plan for the rest of the army thus far, just waiting on a final bits order to come in:

1x Venom (3x Total)
4x Blasterborn
5x Scourges (With either Heatlance/Splinter Cannon)
10x Warriors (30x total)
2x Raiders
1x Ravager
1x Razorwing

Also re-jigging my Wych/Bloodbride squad. In order to tell the two apart, I'm now made the Bloodbride squad 100% female (will post a pic on the kitbashes tonight) and the Wych squad is going to be 100% male, lead by a female Hexatrix (seemed appropriate )

Probably going to do a bit of building over the next week, to take a break from painting, then swing back around. I really want to get the Incubi done

The talos came out great. I'm looking forward to seeing a razorwing. Also for the scourges dont put a a splinter cannon on them. Its a terrible option. Go for those heat lances and haywire blasters!

But the dakka! Carbine and Cannons, oh my

Talos looks great!

Thanks Ysclyth!

Did some more building, just a quick WIP shot of the extra Bloodbrides

Just some WIP for you... I've run out of spray paint so now I'm building

Trueborn:




And if it is of interest, I've posted up some of my Craftworlders

I really like your plastic Incubi conversions, especially the Klaviex! He looks ready to scissor someone in half with those twin blades.

Good call on including the tentacles on the Talos. Much more menacing than the stock model. The white face plate is a nice accent to the red scheme, in my mind it oddly recalls a surgeon's mask. I'd be tempted to put a small blood splatter across it!

The under-slung cannons on the Venom streamline its look a lot. A bunch of these with Razorwings or Voidravens would be pretty cool.

Thanks for the comments on my stuff, thought I'd return the favor!

Thanks mate

I really should sit down and paint the Incubi, they are sitting on the desk undercoated and looking menacing :( I've been inspired by a lot of really good Dark Eldar painter, yourself included, so I'm going to try my best with them

Watch this space!

Jaw drop, drooling moment when I saw this blog for the first time.

Awesome! Your skill is increasing with every new model.

The talos is the best sofar in my opinion!

Liking those bloodbrides, can't wait to see them painted up!

Thanks guys, going to be getting some more paint this morning so I'll be able to get started. What do people want to see next?

Incubi
Venom
Raider
Wyches

??

Incubi. I like the pose on the new trueborn.

The poses on those trueblasters look pretty dank. Can't wait to see em painted. But I vote raider for next. I'm working on mine right now and id love to steal some ideas.

Wyches

Wow! Nice!

This reminds me of last time when I asked what to paint next, got all different answers then too

Incubi have been started

Incredible work, love the Talos, can't wait to see more!

Looking forwards to seeing the Incubi. Also the Raider. I too love the poses on those trueborn.

Thanks guys

I have some WIP for you all, starting with my test of Army Painter's Dragon Red spray. I though this might save me some time but its not quite dark enough, even when sprayed on a black under coat with a wash. It does serve as a good red base coat though, which should speed things up a bit!

I can just imagine the Succubus complaining to the Archon as to how he expects her girls to travel to battle in a different shade of red Raider



Freehand WIP


Incubi WIP


Thanks for looking! Hope to have more progress after the weekend. I have my tax back, so off to Sydney to get some display cabinets yay!

Hmmm not so sold on the blue helmets for your incubi. Somehow, black seems to fit better. Or white, like how you've done your Talos. I really like the pattern you have going on the side of the Raider!

I thought the same, and tried white shortly after that photo, seemed off. I think what I will try is white helm/white shoulder pads as a test and see if that balances out.

Ditto for the weapons, not sure I like blue for them, but can't think of anything else that would fit...thoughts everyone?
