Something Old... Something New... Something Pink... Something Cruel... Part 1

A Few Years ago I converted a GI Joe Cobra Stellar Stiletto into a Slaanesh Flyer. It was damaged during a move and has been sitting broken in pieces in the bottom of my display case since then. I've decided to pull it out, repair it and add the glowing engine effects I did on my Dark Eldar Reavers. Here I will describe how I made the conversion. Part 2 will be after I fix it, add new details and rephotograph it.

Dark Eldar Reaver Jet Bikes

Here's some pics of my Dark Eldar Reaver Jet Bikes for my Kabal of The Endless Twilight. I used the same color palate as my Ravager and Voidraven. The only new things I did with the Reavers was to Airbrush the BladeVanes and use Armorcast Laser Muzzle effects for the engine bursts. I plan to do something similar with my Hellions as well.

Dark Eldar Ravager Painted

My Dark Eldar Ravager is finished. I was using a similar painting technique to my Voidraven Bomber. The only new technique is that I made a set of decals for the aethersails. I wanted them to look like they were made form some kind of advanced mesh, so a decal seemed the best option. I designed them in illustrator, then printed the decal on a laser printer and applied.

I'm in Print...Twice!

Well I'm excited, I recently found out that my Nurgle Rhino and my Imperial Graveyard have both been published in Coolminiornot's 2009 Annual!

New Game Board In Progress

I'm almost done making a new Game Board for myself.

Here's 2 pics taken from my Iphone over the weekend.

Chaos Patrol Boat Part 2

Here's an update. Some pics after about 3 hours of airbrushing.

Chaos Patrol Boat Part 1

I decided it was time to finish up some old projects I had started, so here's some pics of my idea for a Chaos Patrol Boat that I began building about 4yrs ago. A little bit of water isn't going to stop these bad boys.

BFG Dark Eldar Cruisers

Well I knew this would happen eventually. With so many great bits to work off of, it was almost impossible to resist the urge to make some BFG ships for Dark Eldar that didn't suck like the GW ones.

The Voidraven is Painted!

This was my first attempt at Airbrushing in terms of miniatures (I've used them before for Art School projects). I laid down a 3 shade blue to black gradient across the model with the airbrush, then hand painted the blue highlights. All My airbrushing was done with Vallejo Air colors.

Dark Eldar Scourges Painted

These guys have been a long time coming...but I finally Painted them.

The blue/grey armour is what the rest of my Kabal of Endless Twilight will be painted with. Aside from that I just wanted to try unique feather patterns for each scourge and realistic bone colored helmets.

Dark Eldar Incubi & Drazhar Painted

Here's some pics of the newest finished addition to my Dark Eldar Army; 10x Incubi & Drazhar. I customized Drazhar to make him more current to the new sculpts. More info is in this POST

Dark Eldar Gladiator Diorama

Recently I entered this Diorama into 40kForums Dark Eldar Painting Competition and won 1st Place in the Pro Category.

But please take a second to go vote! :)


Sidenote: In 2 weeks when the contest is over I'll be posting a full work up on my entry with WIP shots as well as a whole slew of painted shots.

The Court of the Archon

I've wanted to build a court for a while, but after extensive research into alternate figs for the Medusae and the Sslyth, I realized that I'd need to scratchbuild / convert most of it. In all the pics the bases are not finished and mold lines have not been fully cleaned yet.

Drazhar and a New Archon

Drazhar
I really already liked the old sculpt for Drazhar (probably the only good old Dark Eldar Sculpt), so I decided to use him and make a few modifications to make him more current to match the rest of my forthcoming Incubi.

Dark Eldar Voidraven Bomber

Haemonculi Coven Complete!

Here's my Third and Final Custom Haemonculi. Just like the 2 others, the core body is a classic male warrior with head, pistol & power weapon arms coming from the Kabalite Warrior Box.

Custom Dark Edlar Scourges

With my Dark Eldar Scourges, I wanted to make a unique unit that was identifiable as belonging to the New Dark Eldar Range, but a simple scratchbuild. I wanted something dynamic, that matched the fluff, looked like it belonged with the rest of my army, but was clearly not just warriors with jump packs or repainted Craftworld Eldar Swooping Hawks.

Custom Haemonculi 2

My second Haemonculi is very similar in design to the Haemonculi Ancient except for it's Male and has some different wargear. The core Body is a classic male warrior with pistol, knife and Agonizer arms coming from primarily the Kabalite Warrior Box.

Custom Haemonculi Ancient

The core body is a classic Female Dark Eldar Warrior with her Shiva-like arms made from left over knife/pistol arm bitz from both the Kabalite Warrior Box and the Raider Box. The Splinter Pistol has been modified with styrene rod & shapes to represent a Stinger Pistol based off of Jes Goodwin's sketches. The Husk Blade is from the Metal Archon figure attached onto a Kabalite Warrior arm.

The Webway Has Opened Forth...

The beginning of my Dark Eldar Army.... The Archon, Duraeth The Wight.

Space Marine Spectre Diorama

I started this diorama about 6yrs ago when I first got into Warhammer 40k. It was inspired by a White Dwarf article that had 4th edition rules for using spectre's on the battle field.

Chaos BFG Blackstone Fortress

Here's some painted pics of My Blackstone Fortress.

Slaanesh BFG Chaos Repulsive Class Cruiser

Here's some painted pics of my Chaos Repulsive Class Cruiser. I made a few modifications to the model to make it more unique.

Slaanesh BFG Chaos Cruisers

Here's some painted pics of two of my Chaos Cruisers. I made a few minor modifications to the model to make it more unique.
