Glad you like the idea! You'd probably have to start over on a base for him, though. I'd suggest flipping the larger base over and then tracing the smaller one on the underside where you want it to go and then cutting it out.

As for the model, the knives looks pretty wicked, but I'm not a fan of the arm-mounted blaster weapon. Nothing against you or your model, it's just a personal thing - I don't think any of the arm/wrist mounted weapons from Grey Knights to Striking Scorpion or Dire Avenger Exarchs look good.

It's probably that the scale is so small and the weapons have to be so large to cast properly that it just doesn't look right to me.

You sir, have inspired to me get back into 40k with Dark Eldar. Love the way you've mixed and matched the kits, especially the Trueborn and Incubi.

Well done.

Yeah, its not ideal Kage, too many weapons, not enough hands!

Thanks Griever, thats a great compliment I love the possibilities with the plastic kits and just how interchangeable they are.

Got some more slave girls in the mail, will do some more mockups for the Duke's harem

I'm probably just going to do a holstered blaster pistol on my Duke figure, but I know what you mean.

Splinterborn! First layers down







Leader is pretty much done



Base most of the other Kabalite forces

More progress on the Splinterborn, including some WIP from their Raider...I want to include hangers-on for the Raider that reflect the Splinterborn themselves. They will be magnetised so I can remove them if/when the squad disembarks






















New Venoms (5 total now )





Razorwing on its new base too



Thanks for looking, feedback appreciated

Holy s£!t I love that Razorwing!! That black/red effect would have the Borgia's wetting themselves. Great job of your whole Kabal, subscribed and Exalted! : )

How did you do that red fading black effect?

Nice, sliscus's trueborn are lookin cool, they're gonna look great together when you're finished. That's awesome that you modeled guys to hang off your raider that are identical to the splinter cannon guys! Never seen anyone model the guys hanging off the raiders with heavy weapons. How do you plan on magnetizing them? And do you plan on modeling a hanging version of your sliscus too? That would be so epic.

I have a feeling that in 6th edition, embarked troops will be able to shoot out of an open topped skimmer that moved 12, inches, in which case warrior gunboats might become effective units and splinter racks might actually become useful upgrades. Anyways, the point I'm trying to make is, opponents of most dark eldar players will be confused as to how 27 splinter shots are coming from a skinny, empty looking raider model, but that won't be the case for your opponents haha, that loaded raider is gonna look awesomely intimidating from the other side of the table.

Thanks guys! There should be some more paint progress next weekend, indulging in my other hobby this one (Track day prep is a killer ) I hope to get the army done, and deployed for a massive group shot

Urien: The Razorwing is a cheap trick I use on my CWE, basically (in this case) black spray undercoat, followed by a red undercoat spray. By only spraying from the front, you get a nice blend of colours...basically airbrushing on the cheap

Oneironaut: Thanks man, it looks so much better than the others that will just have a model balanced on them somewhere. Once its done there will also be a bunch of slave girls and the Duke himself so look forward to it

They are magnetised from the raider, hidden rare earth magnets on the inside of the hull, while the Splinterborn have metal embedded in their hands/feet to match. They clip on rather nicely

Aahhhhhhh..... Now I see. Thanks alot!! Will need to dig up an Airbrush then...

Been a long time coming, but finally made it. Army is to the point where I can call it complete, but I'm sure its not the last time I'll be painting red

Whats next? Every army needs an opponent, so Death Korp it is



Oh, and completed Duke
