Very nice scourge conversion. I'm working on some as well, although I wasn't going to go as far as the feet. Would you mind getting a picture of the scourges from the back. I would like to see how you attached the wings. Not sure what it's called, but I'm considering cutting/drilling a hole through the upper back/shoulder area in the raised area of the warrior to mount the wings. Is that what you did? Thanks in advance.

Hi Phish!

I used a bit greenstuff and attached the wings to the rear 'vents' on the back of the warrior, to try and creat the impression of wings that have been put through holes in the armour.

Thank you for the pic. That helps a lot. Did you have to trim the vents at all or just fill in the gaps and over the vents with green stuff?

I haven't done any modeling with green stuff. Does it dry strong enough to hold the wings? No glue or anything else required?

I like the scourges, might steal that idea if you don't mind.

Phish: I superglued them first, then greenstuffed over the join/vents. No trimming as I wanted a bit of bulk there. Greenstuff won't actually hold anything together on its own.

Tmonster: Feel free

Gotcha. Thank you.

Although the strongest bond I've ever found with models has been superglue-greenstuff-superglue. Something to do with the greenstuff adding ridges for the thing to bond to.

Can't wait to see them painted.

Scourge! Really happy with how well its come out. When the squad is finished it will definitely be a centre piece.





Also, based the rest of my completed Dark Eldar...

Sybrite:



Blaster:


Splinter Cannon:


Warriors:



Succubus:


Next? Probably finish my Bloodbride squad, then either the rest of the Scourges or the Archon. Also need to build out the rest of the Warrior squad.

Those scourges are MAD CREEPY! I love them. I like the colors and you paint jobs. I feel like you have the start of a real nice army here!

Nice stuff!

The scourges are really mad. Are they a bit big for things like line of sight? Look really cool but might be easier to shoot than I imagined them to be.

p.s. Mad means good!

Cheers guys! I am really happy with them so far. Now to get some numbers happening.

Newt-Of-Death: That may be true from a pure gaming perspective, but I enjoy building and painting first. Don't like gaming at the GW so that limits my options. And I'm certainly not going to be making it to a tournament anytime soon

And anyway, thats why they have Dark Lances, so I can hide them in a corner somewhere safe and just let them take pot shots

Scourges look sweet! Keep up the good work! They should actually bE really good for line of sight as the are nice an tall so they can see farther and over things. I was wondering why they had dark lances. That's how I used to play them when you coul take 4 heavy weapons in a squad. One of my favorite units. So what's next? I would like to see some red jetbikes or hellions personally. *hint hint*

Heheh, cheers mate. About to fire the BBQ up for Australia Day, but after that I want to knock of the Wyches and the rest of the Scourges before moving onto anything new.

Tempted to get some Reavers though...

Dont worry wings dont count for TLOS, you have to be able to draw LOS on a leg, arm, torso or head.

So cool! Just noticed the blue hair (shush, it's late, I'm tired) and I really like it. Goes very well with the red. The wings look superb too.

Indeed pop them off!

Scourges are great. That red armour looks really nice like. Im going for a dark blue myself. Got some new models in the post!

Nearly finished the first of the Bloodbrides, the rest are batched up behind so I'll have a full squad in no time!

I'm never painting Wyches again....so much skin

Haha, the skin didn't bother me so much. It was all the little tubes everywhere that annoyed me.

That gem looks really nicely painted. The tubes could use some highlighting. Also, the eyes are really nicely done.

Oh, don't remind me about the tubes...

Yeah, still got some more highlighting to do, then base. Hope to get through a few more tomorrow.

I'll have a legal army in no time

Stealing your scourge ideas, except that instead of the seeker legs, I'll just grab the feet from the regular daemonettes. Seeker bits are just a little too hard to get ahold of at the moment and most auctions are for mount + rider and not just the rider. I think I'll use daemonette heads, too. As for heat lances, I'm getting extra Reaver ones and kit-bashing them with kabalite dark lances.

Going good chap!

Any vehicles yet?

Been busy with my other hobby so not much more progress at the moment

No vehicles yet, need to finish what I have first. I'm a bit intimidated by the detail of the Raider, need to work up to it

Feel free Breotan, I think they look great

Alrighty, making some more progress, slowly getting there with the Bloodbrides. I'm back at work now, so less free time to paint

Bloodbride Syren:



Bloodbride Shardnets:


Bloodbride Grunts:


Still got a bit to go on them, and the rest of the squad. After that though I'm up to my next group...what do people want to see?
a) The rest of the Scourges
b) Reavers
c) Archon and Trueborn bodyguard

first the Scourges

Red Jetbikes. They will go fasta.

Cant beat good old trueborn!

My favourite unit in the codex I think.

The reds looking nice. Got the Phantasm in there too which is a must!

First three replies and its an even split

For Trueborn, has anyone found the Reaver helmets for separate purchase? Don't want to have to buy 2 boxes of Reavers for the helmets. My Reavers are going helmet-less for the look...but the car wants money at the moment too

Going to practice my eye-painting...

Check on a website like bitzbox or modelbits. They restock every so often, and if you're quick you can nab the Wych helms and the Reaver helms.

Finished the Bloodbrides!




Scourges next while I wait for my Reavers...

wow, you have some great looking models here
