Well Looking forward to some sexy (flying) models has given me the boost I need to get on with the painting again. These are a bit rougher than before tried to speed things up a bit and only managed to get a few hours every other night this week in , doing a bit at a time seems to favour my sanity/back so maybe I’ll try and make a habit of just doing at least ‘one bit’ every day , often one turns into two…
Completed two more, a blaster and a Dark lance, I have another Dark lance, blaster and a Drakon to do before the squad is complete , though I will usually just run the 4 blasters, would rather paint a 7 man squad that can be used as is or broken down and used in different ways.
Sorry the photos are wank, is late ,rush job. I be sure to get some really good ones when the squad is complete.
Very nice mate, looking forward to giving them a proper beating once the rest of the army is painted. Sorry i’ve not been in contact recently, been a shit one. I’ll email you later, not really talking yet.
Once again, great work. Very sinister looking. I like the black with only a slight hint of green. Really looks like they are walking through a blood-slicked battlefield/hospital of pain.
These are absolutely stunning mate!!
From a man who is famed for his painting I’ll take that as a great compliment, thanks :o)
I really can’t wait to do these guys a Venom in this scheme.
Finally Sorrowshard has comeback with something painted…..YAY
wow those are absolutley fantastic. the glassy effect and bloody bases are amazing!
It is about time. You make us wait all this time for those pieces. Come on bro….hook it up. Great eye candy….a huge feast at that. Any chance of some closer pictures? Any figure will do. Also how long are you going to make us wait for some more painted models?
Hey guys cheers ! work is underway on the last three squad members, It’ll be a few weeks til I can start on their Venom, still nice to be making a start, I imagine there will be a Painted Razorwing in the near future ….
As for piccies I’ll do some more and some better ones once the whole squad is done
They look amazing. I really love the bases. Do you mind writing something up on how you achieved the blood splatter?
Yeah, I’ll cover the paint scheme at some point, I wan’t to get some more of the army done first as I want to get into it a bit more a put a few more ideas down on models, I’ll try and do one article that covers the whole army palettes/techniques etc, I’ll try and bear requests like yours in mind.
The squad should be completed by the end of the week.
Cheers for dropping by
When do u think that will happen
The paint scheme and what paint u used that is mate I’m not painting my models till u do it up
Those are the sexiest dark eldar models I have even seen. I am in love with the the integration of the reaver helmets, it makes them cold in the midst of the blood splattered destruction they have wrought. I cannot wait to see the pallate on the subtle turquoise lighting you have here and there, please do share. Fantastic models. I applaud.
Thomas – go here http://thedarkcity.forummotion.com/t253p20-the-invidious-requiem-kabal, there’s a basic rundown of the paint scheme, its nothing insanely complicated, its all GW paints and normal edge highlighting and blending techniques.
I won’t be doing a propper full article for some time, as blogging eats into painting time.
Mate , stop spamming my blog ! It’s not like you asked politely either
I missed explaining the black on the forum post for some reason , I though most people knew how to paint black in theory.
Its just fortress grey, watered slightly and blended to a hard sharp highlight on the highest and sharpest edges, it’s 99% technique.
oh ,and your welcome , my pleasure
good for you…..I’m so dumb re. technology, wouldn’t have known to do that. DUH Let me kn23w#82&0;.weo17;ve been with Direct about a year and a half…..satisfied, but would always like cheaper!
