T´Chala, the original world of the shadows is located in a star system that orbites around a black sun that is slowly dying, and its solar particles are of black light. Paradoxicaly, during the night, the two huge moons of T`chala reflex a pure white light on its pristine surface. So during the day, there is darkness, and during the night, light. Due to this, the armors of the shadows of T`chala is black with red details, as the chromosphere of tchala's sun

I love your ethereal. very nice clean crisp lines and a beautiful white, which is very had to acieve. Your tank has some crisp lines as well, but I feel as if that flat black is missing some depth.

By changing out the weapon on the ethreal - he looks now like he cold actually do some damage in a fight, good job. Nice job at paint him too. I know fluff wise it works but just think the black is overpowering.

Gotta say I really like the colour scheme you've gone for here, and like your choice of panels for the red, not too much so you end up with a stripy pattern or something but enough so it looks really striking. My only suggestion would be to throw in a third contrasting colour, and use it only sparingly (lenses, sights, tiny little details) and put it mainly on things you need to see well in the dark to break up the black.

Like the colour scheme. The greater knarlock looks great. The firewarrior and vehicle colours cant help but remind me of the peacekeepers in farscape  .

Your fluff is cool, and so is your army. Oddly enough, Ive been trying to figure out how Im going to paint my battle suits in my colors, and looking at your hammerhead, gave me an idea lol.
Nice work!! And does everyone on dakka love cats or something?? GOD I hate cats

Good choice of colours, especially on the Ethereal. The weapon conversion is very nice too.
