Indeed they are for my Cult. I wanted something other than the head swap to be a way of differentiating them from the rest of my force so changing one of the neutral colours of the scheme felt like a good way to go.

Warkitten, I heard that you wanted to start wych cult.

Keep your ear to the ground to listen for rumors as gangs of commoragh is coming out, and its rumored to be 6 reavers and 10 hellions for $60 which is an awesome deal, so don't buy any reavers/hellios just yet

These are going to look stunning as a squad they'll really stand out from the rest of your forces, but still blend in.

It would also do really nicely to pick out Kabalite Trueborn as well. I've heard rumours of a new kit for those at some point which would be very interesting...

A dedicated Kabalite trueborn kit would make me really happy, GW could make them so epic. I'd be disappointed to hear if they came out with a Bloodbride kit though, not because I don't want to see one but more because I'm working on these ones and that'd be just my luck. The new craftworld jetbike kit did come out just 2 weeks after I finished my old-school jetbikes...

That's exactly my reasoning for why I'm not sure I want an exodite codex/models. On the one hand new rules! On the other, I've just spent bl**dy ages making my own!

I really hope they do come out with a kit. I have utmost faith in whoever made the rest of the Dark Eldar range. They would be stunning

I've actually been keeping an eye on the rumor thread for it. Its certainly on my to-buy list

Feels like forever since I've given an update but I suppose that couldn't be helped since I was out of town for almost a week. I did bring my portable painting setup with me while I was gone and made sure to get some progress in. And by progress I mean the Bloodbrides are done! I'm fairly stoked about that and I think they look much better as a unit than they do individually. Please let me know what you think of them, all comments and critiques are greatly appreciated.

I've also started basing my Wraithknight, next up will be magnets. I'm officially not putting it off anymore either... the Wraithknight will be the next project I complete.

Those are looking badass!!!!! Great work. Wraithknight next...................sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!

You're not kidding about them looking good as a unit! They're phenomenal really stellar work dude!

They look absolutely killer!

I can't wait to see what you do with that WraithKnight!

Wow thanks guys, good reviews all around so far. Thank you all very much, means a lot to me. Man I'm getting more nervous about this Knight now, excitement levels are way too high, I don't want to disappoint. I'll be chipping away at him tonight, hopefully have him primed. Tomorrow the painting shall begin.

Nice work on the completed unit.

Excited to see what you do with the Wraith Knight.

How much weathering do you do?

Looking at the pristine white armor, and all those choppy/stabby/killy weapons makes me wonder how long it’s going to stay white.

Part of me wants to see them splattered in gore. Blood everywhere. Maybe a few skulls taken for the...

... One sec, the Chaplain is calling me. BRB.

They look fine as is. Or as well as a filthy xenos can expect to be that’s not a bullet riddled corpse.

Thank you EDC, I hope to impress with this upcoming WK.

To be honest weathering is something I don't tend to do a lot of. I might dirty up some well worn areas like the feet or the weapons but I tend to leave the armor alone. It's something I want to get into doing, I have some ideas for a hyper-weathered Tempestus Scions force and a rag-tag group of Harlequins but I haven't practiced it much. I agree with you about the blood though, something about the white bodysuit that just demands it be covered in gore, I never once thought of putting gore on my Wyches but for these ones I really considered it. The reason I didn't follow through was because I thought it might look odd that my Bloodbrides were all covered in gore and the rest of my force was clean. Almost like the Bloodbrides were doing all the work.

The nice thing about adding some blood is that I can always do it afterwards, I may practice on some models first to get the splattering and streaking right then come back to the force and give them their gore. For now unfortunately I have some competition models to finish for February, wraithknight and shadow spectre then of course whatever the monthly painting challenge is here on Dakka I may enter that too.

Those Bloodbrides came out gorgeously!

Thank you very much War Kitten, I'm glad you like them. I have 5 more to bring the unit to a full 10 models but for now 5 will do just nicely as a retinue for my succubus. In the mean time I have the magnets installed on my wraithknight and his weapon options now and as I type this the primer is settling on him. Tonight... tonight the brush will be taken to him and the real work begins.

Nice work, love the Bloodbrides. Keen to see your Wraithknight!

Thank you very much sir and welcome to the plog. I'll post a pic update on the knight tonight, nothing too exciting going on, just putting base colours down on some spots before drybrushing them.

These are awesome.

What makes them so striking is the tonal range. Those whites against the darker colours. It does not hurt that the dark pink sets off the green extremely well.

I suggest everyone goes to the gallery

Thank you very much ColonelFazackerley for your kind words and critique. I'm glad you like them.

Voted a very deserved 10/10

Very cool bloodbrides, great choice of colours, and they look very compact as a unit!

10/10 dude?! Not sure my work is quite that good but thank you all the same, I appreciate it

Thank you very much b-tone I'm glad you like them. For now they're just a small unit of 5 to go as an honour guard with my Succubus for a tactic I like to call my "fear bomb". I have the other 5 built up and will paint them down the road when I've finished some higher priority projects.

I can't wait to see that Wraithknight finished! Love that model....

Sorry to disappoint War Kitten but I don't have a finished Wraithknight to show you just yet. Currently it's just... progress. For how much paint I've used this really doesn't feel like it's moved much closer to completion. Hopefully that changes once I put the orange on him.

Looking good so far dude once the main armour plates get colour it'll look a whole lot closer to completion

I;m liking the definition on the bone-coloured elements

*Grumble, grumble*
How am I supposed to get ideas for an Eldar or Dark Eldar army if you don't give me glorious painted minis to make me feel better about my own glacial painting speed?

Thanks Ynneadwraith, I agree, once the main plates get even their base colour it'll look a lot more complete. I love painting that bone colour, it's so cathartic.

If it's any consolation War Kitten seeing that my painting speed is fairly arctic itself should make you feel better. All the same I am sorry to disappoint and I will endeavour to correct this mistake by finishing this model as fast as possible

Looking good so far!

I am really excited to see how this mini turns out!

Although I must agree, it is really annoying to put a lot of effort in to a mini (Or in this case a big-i, GET IT) and see little pay off.

Keep it up!

Honestly it's a big surface area thing. I've put a lot of paint on him, just straight up using tons of paint but I'm still only in the very beginning stages of what he'll become. It's just weird to me to go through that much paint is all. It's not like my infantry models where a small dollop of one colour will paint the bits on 5 infantry.
