Hi all



Thought I was close to done with this Raider, but the pics reveal a lot things I've missed. I've gotten some 'brighter red!' feedback regarding the kabal warriors so I went for it with the crew. Not sure if I like it better but it seems to translate better on the tabletop. What say you? C&C appreciated.

Im digging the new plastics. C&C appreciated.

Finished up this Hell Lion. I'd be pissed off to, if I had milli-vanilli hair like that.

They look sort of like some of the old models that were painted red by the 'eavy metal team. I didn't like those guys red, I thought they looked better blue. These guys on the other hand, look sweet red! Good job.

Nice choice of scheme bro. Also a very nice subtle highlighting technique, muted sure but much more realistic than most. Might get my own squad up when i finish 'em tonight.

Brilliant. The red highlights are light but enough to see and make an impact. Really well done highlights. The silver armour really brings out what would otherwise be a dark, dull miniature. The gold on the gun, which at first I thought was a little ugly, is actually smart, bringing the gun out as well but not in a massive "bright red" sort of way.

You really need to show more, when you can.

Great stuff.

Currently collecting and painting Eldar from W40k.

Very nice scheme, very nice painting! All around win!

Only suggestion I would make is to add maybe a tiny red freehand detail somewhere, just to add 1 bright high saturation color. Extremely minimal though, maybe even a red mark across one eye or something to that effect?

I quite like them, though I think the tabards need some blood or script on them.

Hi all, took my deldars out to the FITE NIGHT. They didn't do too bad.

I still have a fair amount of work to do, as evident but the pics should be a good barometer as to where I'm heading. Oh, those wyches are taking forever

Those Hellions look great. I've got to get my hands on some.

Will you be painting a symbol or anything on the Raider sail?

love the warriors and hellions

the only thing i would have done different would have been to add a little red into the hull of the raider BUT it still looks amazing, dont get me wrong

I hadn't thought red was a good DE colour, but this has definitely change my mind. They look awesome. I especially like how the red doesn't go all the way down the legs, nice touch.

The last thing i want to do is hurt you. But it is on my list.
