so I've been collecting dark eldar now for a whole month or so

and I thought I would share with you all my rise into the dark ranks of comaragoth

heres what I have so far (not including the wychs, raiders and true born that still need painting)

first up my venom (credit to wileythenord for this idea)

dark lances. sooo many dark lances

counts as duke silcus ATM

my first painted wych

my old lelith, being used as a succubus

a haemonculus conversion that I'm working on

counts as baron sathonyx

some sexy free hand

hope you all liked them as there will be more soon. C&C welcome as always

Wow the venom looks great, very creative use of bitz! Photos are pretty horrendous tho, can't see much of anything on the infantry sized ones. Take your shots in more light, and zoom out a bit and then re-crop, your camera (phone?) can't focus from the distance you are shooting.

Very excited to see clearer shots though!

**DPBellathrom**

thanks man ^^

I'll try to get the chance to take pics in real light tomorrow if I have time so watch this space

might help if I find my tripod come to think of it

**MajorTom11**

I will!

What kind of camera are you using btw? If it is a compact, then just move back a bit, set it to macro, and zoom in a touch but not too much. It will seem like the picture is too small, but once you get it on the comp and crop it, it will be nice and sharp and more than big enough for posting on here! Tripod wouldn't hurt, but honestly just resting your hands on the table edge from further back would really do the trick!

Very excited to see more, esp after that venom!

**Behind th Mask**

That Venom looks great!! If I start a DE army I just might have to borrow that Idea.

**DPBellathrom**

MajorTom11: I think its a compact

your right about zooming in, its been a while since I used it properly so I'm still trying to remeber the process of getting good pics

Behind th Mask: thanks man

it was a pretty simple conversion to do TBH its just a case of moving the hood ford and adding the sails from the raider kit + a few bits and bobs

**DPBellathrom**

fixed the pics

**Mr Morden**

some great looking models - really nice

Using the sails for the Venom is a good idea as I am not keen on them on the actual raider.

**DPBellathrom**

thanks man ^^

**wolfshadow**

Nice DE.

Especially like the Venom

**Samus666**

LOVE your conversions. Very well done

**DPBellathrom**

thanks man ^^ stll wondering if I should do another :?

**wileythenord**

Dude I like your Venom better than mine, I'm going to rework mine and see how it goes. Thanks for the ideas, and the thanks in your original post.

**DPBellathrom**

its cool man ^^

thanks and I hope to see your one soon

**SomaRukido**

Would you mind sharing what you used to make that venom?

**DPBellathrom**

sure thing ^^

venom as a base with the coclpit moved fowred a little, the ruddrs and some plasticard attatched to the sides and a Helf charriot front glued onto the back and two raider sails for the wings pluss a crap ton of spikes where needed

hope that helps

**sum1thtdiesalot**

The haemonculus looks sweet.

**wileythenord**

I have re-worked my Venom, I still haven't spikey'ed it up yet, but tomorrow sometime I'll post mine up on my blog. It resembles yours a lot, but I changed some things up. I am pretty excited about it, now it actually looks like people could ride in it and I still won't have to bits order anything to make the other 6, just straight up Vypers and spare Raider/Ravager parts!

**DPBellathrom**

sum1thtdiesalot : thanks man ^^

wileythenord : sounds good man, cant wait to see it

**Deathknight2000**
