Raging heroes makes some amazing figures. This Void Elf Executrix troop are gonna make great Incubi proxies for my Ynnari.
They'll be operating as the Emerald Execution and I wanted to stay away from the usual colors of my more traditional Dark Eldar. These Death Eldar seem a little more flexible with wardrobe colors as they are not so focused on being the Evil Eldar... leaving that for their Cabalite Cousins.
As I was working on these the Emerald and white base coats left me with a unit that was very heavy in cool colors so I elected to warm up the accents with an orange-y red for their swords and for the wing guards.
The wing guards are really a great weapon option idea! they seem to be a device that dangles close combat blades while walking or standing but deploys they forwards when the knee is raised and bent giving extra stabby power! I'd count this as, at least, an off hand weapon... which... given that the main weapon is a Double-hander... is awesome! So, If you are reading this Benoit please integrate something similar in the TGG3 Game...wink, wink...
I'm sure that will give my 40k opponents a little heartburn but they all love integrating cool models so I'm sure they'll be happy with it! For everyone else they'l operate as plain vanilla Incubi.
I've also experimented a bit with textures on the flowing cloth bits... kind of going for an exotic monster pelt... looks like I'll have to generate a suitably exotic monster with such a pelt for them to hunt! (Maybe another suggestion for the folks at RH?)
The blades are meant to look like power weapons but that was mostly just an excuse to paint them in warmer colors and not a weapon option suggestion...
The whole unit together... keep in mind this is just the regular troopers set... there is also a command group set which is in various stages of being assembled at the moment. I haven't decided If I'll replicated these colors so I have add-on options... or if I'll pattern them after another alien beastie...
Back to work then!
