A close up shot of Seth. Sorry that it is a bit blurry. Will have to muck around with the macro settings on my camera. Enjoy.

Hey congrats on making it to the GW website frontpage (in the UK at least!), thought I recognised the scheme from somewhere!
linky-poo just to prove it

btw they look very nice, I do like the bone, blue and purple you've got going on.

Stopping by to say it was Awesome to see your models pop up on GW "What's new today" page. Congrats!!

Thank you very much guys, it's all the motivation I need to get that unit finished today!

Just a quick update for those of you interested, finally found the time and the unit is finished, I will base them tonight, they are getting a sand with patches of grass base to match the table I am building, did a test model and it looks great, going to splash out and get them a raider at Christmas. The Scarab prince himself is in the assembly stage and will be painted this week. I will post pictures when both the prince and the unit are based. Thank you for your support And my rather awesome better half had a games workshop box arrive to her place recently and unless she has finally given in to the temptations of geekdom, I'd say that means a merry old slave trading Christmas for myself and the prince.

Sorry that my posting has been lazy of late, been rather busy with the Christmas period coming up, I'm sure you all know how mental it can get!

really nice color, the blue touch looks really good.

Oooooh, looking forwards to seeing that squad all done. Also, can't wait to see what you've done with the Prince. Any conversions, or did you use the excellent Archon model?

I used the excellent archon model but I felt that an eldar such as he, from aristocratic blood and arrogance would not dare cover his features with a helmet!

I clipped off a few of the heads supplied in the kabalite kit, and there it was! The face that matched his name. My army list has him armed with a husk blade and soul trap, as this matches fluff too, the Scarab Prince being a fan of swordsmanship and a thing for collecting, be it trinkets or souls... Still deciding weather or not he will carry that samurai-ish banner pole with his personal icon on it, that sharp blade from the Archon kit or the trophy rack on his back. More leaning towards the banner as it makes him stand out straight away.

I'm planning to convert up a court for the Archon as soon as possible! Just need to arrange the money...

Here's a visual update of the Kabal so far! Sorry that some of the images are blurry but you get the idea. I'll post better pictures when the lighting is better.



The Bone Collectors, Down the Barrel.



Another Staunch Shot.



Dark Lance? Dakka dakka dakka!





The Scarab Prince himself



More Princey goodness this time the focus was on the banner.



The whole gang so far!

Quite pretty! I wish I could see the Warriors with better lighting. As it sits it's a little hard to see. I looooove the banner on the prince though. Could we get a close up?

I will try to take some tomorrow, I've been busy with the holiday season madness. Those were taken at 11.30 at night haha just had to get some pictures of them. The lords banner is quite neat, although I might change a few things around. Thank you for the support!

Wow, the paint scheme is excellent!!! I love the non-black DEs!!!

Thank you Yggdrasil!

The bone looks great, love the Archon too, he just looks arrogant without a helm

I like his cyber-punkish hair cut too. Hmmm hopefully Christmas sees the addition of the Incubi from the shrine of Khaine Eternal. I plan on replacing their heads with everyday kabalite helmets. I'm not a huge fan of the horned helmets of the new models but I like the stances and armour sculpts. Hopefully with the smaller helmets they look like an elite bunch of bodyguards for the Archon. Aaaannnndddd last but not least a unit of ten hellions, because well, I can, and the unit (with combat drugs) can cause utter mayhem if used correctly!

this is looking great so far. It's going to look awesome when it's all finished.

Loving the prince, and im glad this one made it to the GW website, keep up the good work

Great to see a different take on the dark eldar - Good painting and original schemes

A great slave trading, splinter gun toting, pain inducing Christmas to all of my Kabalite amigos! I will be assembling the first scarab prince raider tonight, the sand shark Will post pictures when this silly season is over!

Excellent! I can't wait to see how it turns out.

How are you painting your bone, please? On the GW site it just says Bleached Bone and Gryphonne Sepia, but personal experience of those colours tells me there is more to it than that...

There are seven thin layers to the concoction. it's a signature bone thing I came up with through many attempts. I undercoated by hand with chaos black, then used a foundation paint, dheneb stone (not sure of the spelling) then bleached bone, a heavy wash of gryphone sepia then bleached bone highlights through to skull white. Then you use badab black wash very sparingly in the tight spots between the armour plating. Chur.

First update of this fine new year. Built two units of trueborn. One is designed for anti-tank, the other for anti-infantry, although they can be swapped around to provide two balanced units.

Here is the first dracon of the Scarab Prince Corsairs.

Dracon Aurora Decsh'kanor

The prince's most trusted tactician, she is the overseer of the fleet and the leader of the Trueborn collective known as The Shade Guard. Any plans the Archon makes are looked over and reworked into masterpieces of tactical brilliance by Aurora and she takes pride in the death of any who are marked by the Scarab Prince. In a jealous fit of rage the Prince is said to have slashed the Dracon's breath taking face with a sharp blade and although surgery could return her to her former beauty she believes it has made her into a stronger, darker leader. For this reason she wears a helmet elaborate enough to reflect her esteemed rank and is never seen outside of her personal chambers without it. To battle she brings a pair of venom blades and a pistol known as the balefather.



Dracon Khaalu Haelithe

The most mysterious figure in the corsairs, nobody truly knows where he came from, rumor had it that he is in fact a craftworlder, originally hailing from Saim-Hann. As a young warrior he was taken into the Kabal and has served his masters well. He claims to be true of birth and none question his ability to hunt the enemies of the Prince. He takes to war an agonizer whip called "Hatesnare" and is often accompanied by his anti-tank trueborn specialists.



...And now for the split unit of trueborn:

The Shade Guard

A unit of the most arrogant and self righteous trueborn, they are responsible for head hunting the marked victims of the Prince. It is a job they take very seriously and the amount of elaborate weaponry they have access to ensures the task is done as messy as possible. The squad is never asked to take captives and their bloodlust is famous. The competition within the ranks is borderline insane, with games and kill counters being arranged before combat to ensure they have a clear 'winner'. For all their anarchist talk and rebellious actions, none dare cross the Dracon. In fact to mention their names without dire reason to is an offense punishable by death.





Hope you enjoy this update, feedback is optional

Ooooooooooh, very nice double-bladed Dracon. Will you be painting the Saim-Hann dracon in red armour?

Very much considering it aye! I think it would add a character to him on a better level! Yeah been playing a few games with her the dracon and anti infantry trueborn lately. Can't wait to give them a sick paint job!

Here's what I got done last night!



The sail will have bone detailing with the symbols. Don't stress at it's current state!
I got around to painting Aurora up and even managed to get her killed by four hungry ork Nob's and three defkoptas or whatever they're called.
NEVER leave your trueborn stranded in the middle of the battlefield!


And for those of you who asked really nicely, here are some better pictures of the Prince himself...

The little purple details on the Prince's cloak look great.

I must say, I am really looking forward to seeing that Raider. The sail looks good, though it looks a bit squished up the top, with too much space under the scarab symbol.

The bare head for the Prince works really well and the paintjob is top notch!

This army is brilliant, loving the great details and fluff on everything!

Top work, keep it up
