Dark Eldar Venom WIP

When the new Dark Eldar book landed I decided it was time to resurrect the army and start painting it. After a bit of testing I revised my old colour scheme and I started to paint one of my Venoms. Here are some pics of the little thing so far:

I'm probably going to paint the two gem-like thingy above the engine in gold too to add a bit more of the colour on the model

Here is it as seen from below. This is actually an older pic, the sections of the upper hull on the nose are painted in gold too, like they are on the upper surface

There is still a lot to do: paint the weapons, the pilot and the crew (I'm not sure about how many there are going to be), more work on the edge highlight on the green hull, the various trophies and so long and a whole lot of things to fix and clean up... I'm also going to try and put some tribal markings on the hull if I can manage to do that without ruining the whole thing ...

C&C really appreciated!

Alaitoc Night Spinner - part 1 -- UPDATED

Hi guys!
During the weekend I worked on the last addition to my Alaitoc army: a Night Spinner!

The Falcon chassis is really showing it's age, the surface is covered with micro bumbs and imperfection that needed careful sanding. The main turret (and also the hull mounted Shuriken catapults) is magnetised so it could be replaced by a Fire Prism turret or a Falcon one if needed

I glued it in various sub-assemblies, keeping my painting-plan in mind. I also spent quite a lot of time filling gaps with green stuff and milluput (and sanding again after that!)

All the bits and pieces are washed and they are drying right now

Next step: priming and base-coating!

UPDATE: all the bits are now primed white

#quick-update: Alaitoc' Dire Avengers

I'm currently build three 5-men units for my current Alaitoc list.

The first unit is almost complete, they just need a banner and the targeters:

I just stopped putting togheter the bases for the second unit, working my way up from the base to get the pose I want for every model in the unit:

Do you like them so far?

#quick-update: Iyanden Jetbikes

Currently working on six Windrider Jetbikes for my Iyanden army:

I made them by combining the old Dark Eldar jetbike kit with the (older) Eldar jetbike kit

As you probably could guess, I'm also working on some custom flying stands for them ;)

Nagash, Supreme Lord of the Undead

What a better time to come back from the Dead!

I just got my hands on Nagash,  the Supreme Lord of the Undead and it's an amazing model!

Just look for yourself:

The box as big as the one of the Eldar Wraithknight. Inside it's almost empty, just two sprues, the assembly manual and a BIG base.

Here are some pics of the spures:

And this is how big the BIG base is compared to a standard "big critters" base from Warhammer 40K:

This is an awesome model. I have quite a few ideas on how to build and base it; I just don't know when that will happen :)

Cheers

Vaul's wrath support battery: 3x Shadow Weaver - update 2

Quick update on the Support Batteries: after masking the yellow areas I painted the blue bits:

And after carefully removing the masking tape ...

Vaul's wrath support battery: 3x Shadow Weaver - update 1

Hi guys!
I made some progress on the Shadow Veawers, the yellow bits are pretty much done on the batteries. In the end I will probably go in with some edge highlighting

Shadows and highlights are also complete on the gunners. Just some black lining left to do on some modes

I really like to known what you guys think on the shadows: are they too dark?

With the yellow bits done it's time to start on the blue ones, beginning with a dark grey base coat

I will have more updates in the following days as work progress on those big guns!
