Yeah, went a bit pointy eared recently!

PM me with the stuff you've got unpainted.I'm always on the lookout for stuff.

Work continues with the FW Eldar Hornets.

I've loosely fitted the Scatter Lasers until they're finished. Still got to do the gems on the hull also and some smoke/heat effects.

Simply stunning. How are you going to get the smoke effects on spray or brush on pigments?

Oh PM sent aswell chap.

Airbrush all the way for the smokey bits. I should get them completely finished tomorrow afternoon. Just in time to use them in a game tomorrow night!

Yay!!

Holy those hornets are good!

Really nice stuff, I need to get me one of those airbrushes

You make me want to get an airbrush!

Nice update.

Sweet Hornets Bro! I hope you haven't really been on the 'wreck the hoos joos' last time i had buckfast i became an impromptu nudist....

Aint nothing wrong with the purple groat juice.

I do my best work under the influence of it.

I don't run about in the buff though.

I've danced on a roof on Bucky. Me and a pal used to knock lumps out each other at his flat on a regular basis on the stuff.

More than once some heavy DIY had to be done due to a destroyed breakfast bar and holes in the walls from ramming his head in. Had to re-hang a few doors in that flat too. Oh, and once the toilet got shattered!

Tis the drink of champions I tell ye.

Been awhile since I checked this blog. Fantastic progress. Still looking forward to a full army shot. Very clean work and the metallics on the Banshees were very well done. It's a great blog to follow.

Thanks!

I'll be doing a full army shot at the next big game. If I remember......

lol, tie a piece of string round your finger. That full army shot will be worth the wait.

Really nice Dark Eldar stuff!

Cant wait to get painting mine.

How do you find the new models to paint? Are they awkward or are they pretty nice to paint?

Itl probably take me months!

Quick update:

Finished building and priming the 2x 10 man (Elf?) Swordmasters of Hoeth i started a week or two ago. I also made movement trays for them like the other dudes. I've started a Dragon Princes of Caledor unit this week.

On the 40k front I went off on a bit of a tangent. I've started building up some BA Death Company. I've built up a ten man squad out of one of the new DC boxes, the old DC metal minis I happened to have in my bits box and other marine bits including FW older armour bits and bolters etc. I've got some bits and boxes coming to build up another 10 soon.

One thing I decided on with the plastic minis was to make them magnetic with Infernus pistol options and jump pack/ normal pack options.

I'll most likely paint them up soon and put them up for sale on eBay in 2x ten man squads (one squad will only have 5 dudes with switchable options an the others metal and permanent). A bit random i know but I just fancied making some marine stuff for some reason although i have no plans to build an army based on them. I've sold a couple of things recently I painted which paid for the bits.

Speaking of which my Wyches are up for sale on eBay too.


Eldar-wise I've begun painting up my 2nd Farseer plus a council of 9 Warlocks. In addition i will be finishing two Autarchs i started a while back.

I will be ordering a Warp Hunter from FW in the next week !!! Should be good. Got some ideas for this one based on what i've learned doing the DE.

The Dark Eldar have been put on hold for now but I managed to do a fair bit of the mundane basecoats on them (metallics and bases etc.) I'm still trying to work out what kind of list i want to do with these guys......

Wow your stuff is awesome! I especially love the hornets.

Bit more done on the DE i was going to put on the back burner for a bit! Typical mind changing for me really but i just paint what I feel like at the time which helps productivity!

Also 80% through doing the BA Death Coy. Made magnetic jump/standard back packs and weapon arm options. Don't think i'll be selling these boys now though as I like the idea of a few units with a Chaplain and Sanguinary Priest for some deathstar army antics.

Really good!

The schemes making me think of some highly pollished and very sharp futuristic metal that constantly moves with a wierd spacey sound somewhere between a lightsabre and running your finger round a glass, but I suppose thats what it is!

Get em stabbed mate.

Those DE are fantastic. Love the color!

Wow DE look BA! Nice work!

Thanks folks!

I'll hopefully be finished these guys in the next week. I've got this afternoon booked in with my better half for some more painting time.

I'll post better pics up when they're done.

Thats me now finished a DE Ravager, Raider, 10 man Warrior squad with splinter cannon & shredder and 2 5 man squads with blasters.

They could be taken a bit further but i've got more stuff to paint yet and they're at a decent gaming standard for my tastes.

Archon, Incubi & another raider up next. Also planning on finishing the minor details on my Hornets in time for saturday (I'll be using them in a game).

The DC squad is ticking along when it takes my fancy and is looking good. They're now 90% done with details i missed needing sorted. Pics of them up soon...


Apologies for the iffy pics. I've been struggling with a new camera! EDIT : new/better ones added

Lookin good! I was kinda surprise to see no freehand designs or honeycomb pattern in the aethersails though. Regardless great work!

Thanks!

Easier said than done for the freehand stuff! I'll make some transfers at some point in the future though.

Great stuff bud!

Thanks!

Not too sure what Kabal these guys will be. They could be the Obsidian Rose Kabal or maybe Flayed Skulls.

Dear Mr. Nasty-Point-Ears,

Your boats are mighty shiny and cracker!

p.s. Did they take you long to paint? Ive got 3 looming over me for the near future.

I reckon they are just as quick as the Wave Serpents to paint. I used an airbrush even for the metallic undersides.

I think 4 hours painting time each is about right including preparing the parts & undercoating.

Quick update:

After some thought I decided to sell my Alaitoc army to make way for more future painting projects.

I fired it all on ebay and got more than I expected which is nice and now i have room for painting more stuff!!!

Woohoo!

Fair enough, you have to keep it interesting after all. Any ideas how you will be proceeding? Dark Eldar expansions or something completely new?
