Ok, I actually finished alot of stuff before I started this project log so there won't be alot of step by step stuff, essentially though, my process for the camo is just a basecoat of black followed by Karak stone stripes then paint between the stripes with Mournfang brown making sure to overlap a little bit on the Karak stone, then I add a wash of nuln oil.


wip warriors


finished warriors


liquifer gun



Wracks

Grotesque Aberation converted from an old lotr cave troll

Grotesque Conversion (Lol I know its just an IoB rat ogre on a round base :p)

more to come soon!

I really like the color scheme. The warriors look really nice.

I would suggest a sand layer or some kind of basing, and perhaps a less distracting and unified base rim color. I think that would tie your army together quite well.

Keep it up!

Another grotesque, will paint it soon



Alternate wracks


Acothyst with venom blade

Yeah I think I'll base them all with sandy bases and change the base rim color to brown, see my scourge for an example

Dude you have some great stuff here.

Nice theme, differentiating from the whole dark and grim scheme is always welcome.
Nice stuff mate.

Thanks I'll be getting some new stuff soon, some reavers, wcyhes, hellions and another razorwing probably arriving on monday, I'm excited to paint up the bikes!

New Basing, I've done the basic sand on every model and I'll paint it to be like this eventually, plus I'll probably do brown base rims like this and red base rims for characters.

Anyday Now 10 warriors, 10 wyches, 3 reavers, 2 raiders, a haemonculus, 10 hellions and some talos bits will be arriving, I look forward to painting them up and to doing some conversions with the talos parts.

I will convert a baron sathonyx out of a hellion, and probably try to make more grotesques or scratch buld a talos, I will also convert a raider into a ravager, it will simply be a raider with 2 crew man standing on deck with dark lances as well as the main gun. I will also convert my Island of blood skaven to be wracks and possibly use a bunch swarming on a large base to represent a razorwing flock or if I really want to push it, a talos lol.

Soon I'm also going to order at least 10 dark elf cold one knights which I will convert into dark eldar cavalry to count as reavers and possibly an eldar jet seer. I'm looking forward to fielding army with over 10 reavers.

Once I purchase and convert the cold one riders into at least 10 reavers I will field this list:

HQ
-Duke Sliscus 150pts

Troops
-Warriors x9 151pts
raider, splinter racks

-Wracks x3 95pts
venom w/dual splinter cannons

-Wyches x5 120pts
haywire grenades, raider,

-Wyches x5 120pts
haywire grenades, raider,
Fast Attack

-Reavers x6 156pts
2 heat lance arena champion w/power maul(to charge rear armour of vehicles, especially effective after 2nd pain token)

-Reavers x3 78pts
heat lance

-Reavers x3 78pts
heat lance

Heavy Support
-Razorwing 155pts
flickerfield

-Razorwing 155pts
flickerfield

Eldar Allies:
-Farseer 155pts
Jetbike, doom, singing spear, eldritch storm, spirit stones

-Dire avengers x5 60pts

Basically the plan is to spam reavers as tough, mobile, anti tank and harrassing units. Have the jetseer ride with the big squad which will go after vehicles, his eldritch storm plus their mobility ensures the heat lances will be able to shoot rear armour and the champion's power maul can even glance leman russ rear armour with str5 ap4. Duke sliscus is only there because he is cheap and buffs the combat drugs of the bikes and wyches, wyches are anti tank or cc tie up units, the warriors are there to take full advantage of the duke, a 3+poisoned gun boat cant hurt, then wracks are only there to have the venom and if enemies get too close the wracks can jump out and speedbumb them or maybe kill something if some weakened guard or tactical marines are present. Last but not least the two razorwings ensure air superiority and although they must come in from reserves they will kill stuff as soon as they arrive. Essentially it is meant to combine dark eldar speed with toughness using the bikes, supported by heavy fire support in the razorwings.

My package arrived and I got a bunch of new stuff plus I modelled a bunch of Island of blood stuff to be proxies. I figured skaven made fitting beasts.


Island of Blood Skaven, count as razorwing flocks or if I really want to push it, grotesques

Another "Razorwing flock" and the bigger base one counts as a clawed fiend

I know, this is alot of Island of blood stuff, the warlock engineer will count as a haemonculis and the skaven spearman based individually will be khymarae as buying a big beast pack is incredibly expensive and my friends proxy way harder than I do anyway (like just saying last minute "oh by the way that chimera is actually a hydra")

Ok, Ok, last Island of blood proxy, these two count as beast masters

Oh sh** I lied, but seriously this is the last one, the swordmasters will be painted in desert camo and count as Incubi...If I ever use Incubi :p


Ok, now onto the new models I just got:


reavers, I modelled the Arena champion to have a power maul as I think the mobility of the bikes could really make great use of them against vehicles, if they have 2 pain tokens and they charge the rear armour of a leman russ the champion could actually destroy it
made a five man trueborn squad with 2 blasters and a dracon, I think I might try running a few squads like this rather than one squad with four blasters.

Lady Malys conversion or it could be a kabalite themed lelith hesperax. and btw I did not paint this it was painted by Hellmm who is an excellent painter, I will try to finish the original paintjob on this.

Wyches x5

Wyches x5

Kabal themed wyches to go with lady malys

I also got 10 hellions, a talos, a razor wing and 2 raiders I will make a Baron Sathonynx conversion to go with the beast pack, I will post pictures soon, I will also buy some dark elf cold one nights and make DE cavalry to count as reavers or eldar guardian bikes, I'm thinking 3x normal bikers and a jetarch and jet seer but I'll see. I'll also work on painting more stuff up.

Later.

bru those skaven as razorwing flock look better than the gw ones for sure, nice judgement call.
wonder how ull use the rest of ur island of blood models, hmmmmmmmm
maybe the rest ur skaven hq can be the archon's court
the elf lord could be a a vemon or reaver champ if you decide to make a unit
the other high elves can be incubi or trueborn whom would look great with head swaps
these are just ideas, and i dont know how many models you have left so don't take them too seriously
oh and friendly advice, read my signature

Thanks, I might use the elf lord on griffon as a jetseer or jetarch allie lol and yeah when I take the painted pictures of these models I will use a white background like before.

Looking good man.

Thanks, Hellmm, I'm curious to see how your Necrons are coming along, from what I've seen I really like your painting work.

Gotta admit, when I saw the topic, I was like "Whaaaa...???" But I like them alot! You did a good job.

Oh yeah and here's a trueborn w/darklance I painted a while ago, I know its not a great photo but I can't find the model to do a retake :/
