Great work! Excellent paint color scheme!

I love this thread! AND EVEN THOUGH I HATE DARK ELDAR! But I love the models =D

fantastic looking scheme. I can't wait to see this on the vehicles.

Also, i love the fact that you painted the rifle stock to look like wood, it really adds to the old and Baroque feeling you were talking about

back again! Played quite a few games with the new DE, lost or tied most. Taking me a little while to get used to this style of play, but the figs are to lovely to stop!

New fav. unit though, Court of the archon. Ran these boys a little while ago: whoo, very nice.



Thats right, agonizer and blaster archon, 2 slyths (modelled here as barghesi), 5 ur-ghuls, and 2 Medusae.

Archon



Hyper-violent Barghesi (counts-as slyth)



"whip-thin horrors, from the ziggurats of Shadom... quivering scent pits"= Ur-ghuls. Whats that, strength 5 on the charge? Yes please can I have another.



Medusae. Pretty lazy conversion, but I think it looks baller. Gotta love rolling 1's all the time for ap value! shoop de woop.

That court looks mighty fine dude!

This army is completely, utterly, impossibly gorgeous.

Congrats, you just convinced me to start dark eldar!

They are some pretty sweet aliens...ghouls are such a great source for conversion fodder.

The basing yet again is excellent. But the Archon's gets a

Peter

The slyth are definitly my favorite models that youve converted for the court

Hrm....thats hot?

I was under the impression that you must take one of each type available to the court as the unit compositions are always from 1 up. Is this true?

I love the the Slyth and the Ur-ghuls conversions. Really love them. Sick and twisted and just right.

loving what I see. Like the color scheme, now if only some more models were painted

Nice looking models, excellent colour scheme, I'll be watching.

paz i want your babies!

Thanks guys for the kind words!

I was just told on warseer as well, that you need one of each. Lame, as the lhamean is so crappy, but for ten points, meh. I'm in the midst of getting her built, just dropped one Ghul out of the court.

Also working on 10 mandrakes, will have em up hopefully tonight.

As far as painting, yeah! I really wanna knuckle down and get it done, but been rushing to convert and build 2000 pts of DE for the current escalation league we got running here in Snowy Saskatoon, Canada. Yay blizzard!

Oh yay, I am so looking forward to those mandrakes!

Beautiful models, shame about the in-game...

Wow... I REALLY like the scheme on your test model and your conversions so far are very unique and interesting. I will be watching.

Started work on the Haemi.




Mandrakes! Had to do a lot of cutting and bending, 3 different sculpts for 10 figs makes it difficult to have unique-ness.



Mandrake nightfiend. Love the idea that these creatures just appear out of your shadow, so this one will be doing just that, once its painted.






And a lhamean, since I'm forced to have one... stupid minimum 1 per court...

Wicked! Nice bending. The Mandrake coming out of the wall is great... thats showing some ingenuity.

As for the lhamean I'm a little disappointed, compared with the others in the court. Sorry. I'm not sure what I was expecting though. The gold shoulder pad is very nicely painted.

Peter

Yep, that 'drake coming out of the shadows is pretty darn cool.

small update! Paint IS coming, though with xmas busy work season and family, I've had little time! whine moan complain, I know, I'll get my butt in gear. To tide ya over, heres some silly reaver conversions!



cluster caltrops bike swooping in to deliver payload



This particular reaver pilot might not have 'balls', but she has brass proverbial kahunas the size of tahiti.



The arena champion likes to charge head long at an enemy, then veer at the last moment, leaving an exquisitely worked agonizer-spear quivering in the chest of his prey



And he brought collapsible spares!





This whole squad will be divergent from the rest of the army, using a tron orange glow effect (as these dudes have a striking resemblance to lighcycle riders)!

Paz....you really know how to pose your models.

The spear armed champion is my favourite....really nice idea.

The chick with the knives as you say has brass proverbial kahunas the size of tahiti and them some.

Look forward to seeing some more.

Peter

Dude, these guys are fantastic.

Man, now you're just feeding my temptation to grab some of these guys to add to my pile of stuff Good job.

Paz those DE are looking great!! I love the color scheme and it brings out the detail with out drowning it out with dark colors. Can't wait to see the rest of the army!

I love how you are having your mandrakes come out of the shadows.

I must say awesome dark eldar models, great work here

Wow! The colourscheme is really nice and the court superb!

/ Avach

*GASP* Me likey! Especially the painting! That, good sir, makes me LIKE DE...woohoo!

Wow, awesome blog for a start... From the sculpting, the conversion ideas, the poses, the painting, everything is just plain amazing!!!

I'll be following this...
