I've started my Dark Eldar army and have finally settled on a colour scheme. I'll will be using the "Ruined temple" bases from Scibor and decided that the army will be based around a lost temple in the swamps. The bases and painting have gone rather well, it's just that I'm looking for some inspirational pictures of 'swampified' models. I've tried google'ing, but haven't come up with what I'm looking for.

What I'd really like is some pictures of models (or just of real-life swamps) with hanging vines for inspiration. I'd like to make the Raiders look like they've been flying in between trees and have picked up some of these vines along the way. I know it's a bit vague, but that's exactly why I'm asking for pictures.

The first almost completed Warriors (they are less blurry in real-life!)


Many thanks in advance!

Ah! I found a picture of the look I'm going for (although obviously it needs more spikes!).

Actually i found the bases, they are very cool but VERY expensive, 90 dollars to put my necron warriors on them, i want to do a swampy theme though not so much jungle, although the jungle theme is inspirational !]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/334891/2264756.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/334891/2264756.page GMT Looking for Swamp-styled models (just the pictures)
Anyway, I would say those pics are the only inspiration you need, the modeler really did a good job at capturing the feel of 'swampy' without making the minis unrecognizable. Any more and it would appear that your opponents army was made up of swamp-thing, any less and it would look like some static grass had rubbed off on the models. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/334891/2264795.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/334891/2264795.page GMT Looking for Swamp-styled models (just the pictures) http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/334891/2264815.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/334891/2264815.page GMT Looking for Swamp-styled models (just the pictures)
As for the vines/scrub covering them:

I would guess that he used that stuff, probably mixed in with some clear drying glue/water effects, etc. to give them the slimy weighted down appearance.

It seems pretty simple, but thats all conjecture. I would test it out on some spare bits before trying it on my models though. Hopefully someone else will be able to confirm the methodology used.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/334891/2264883.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/334891/2264883.page GMT Looking for Swamp-styled models (just the pictures) http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/334891/2266939.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/334891/2266939.page GMT
