ready to raid

so my dark eldar are achingly close to being finished im currently working on these at the moment:


the second set of bikes need blood adding to them


the sails need another coat of purple then their done


then I have 5 sponsons that need basing dry brushing highlighting gold and washing


then after that if I chose to take my beast pack ill need 2 finish the handlers but that's it


I then need 2 practice some freehand work for my squad markings as well as battle field role from the rulebook ob I wont follow the rule book pics ill make m own up or look around for inspiration


this is all in time for the new release in starting in 3 days time I cant wait as iv already painted up m warriors and wyches n I think they will have 2 be my troops ill need 2 paint up some raiders to go with them im not sure yet ill be waiting for the codex to come thru.


once this is done and the raiders are finished ill post a completed pic

1740


game 1


necrons with ctan - in a nutshell got battered its fast n brutal  my only chance to tie it up with the screamer star failed and that was it was all down hill from here


game 2 a normal white scar list with a knight -  he played really aggressive so I could charge on my turn 1 n he got smashed lol


game 3 was grey knights with a warhound - this was a very close game I lost both princes turn 1 but after that screamer council did its thing n pretty much killed everything except the warhound my troops jus went to ground and coz it only ignored cover on a 6 he either missed or rolled 1s


the other thing was warp charges were capped at 12 which ment I could only really cast key powers every turn


these were normally spells like invisibilty forewarning and prescience iron arm and warp speed


 the next tournament im doing is Caledonian ion January and they have a lord of war restriction of 489 points and no better re-roll than 4+  as well as restrictions on army selection


so that will be interesting


the next tournament is another lil event at my local shop  with no lords of war this time so I shud do better

more progress

so to day iv managed to bloody up the ravagers venoms and bikes!!








I also managed to make a dent in the nurgle section of my deamons





iv started re painting the sails as the wash didn't go down properly so they got sprayed n iv jus re done the base.


the final 7 bikes have been dry brushed and highlighted next step gold then wash

army progress

so  at various points through the start of this year I bought n traded my way to a small horde of armies


staring with dark eldar - which are finally at the final furlong 2day ill finish off the 8 bikes from yesterday with blood and the ravage hulls will get the same treatment making them finished. :D


eldar - are sprayed blue at the moment and ready for painting during the winter months when its colder


deamons are sprayed black and ill hand paint the larger models like princes and batch spray things like the troops


necrons - there still in the needing phase and I need more models to make the army work im also going to purchase  2 annihilation barges 2day  pushing that total up 2 3 :D  then I need 1 more ghost ark more wraiths n im done :D




bit of a short post but im off out 2 collect sed models and paint

this weeks painting project

is basically going badly lol  iv still got the sponson gunners to paint and then the sails needs purple as well as washing and highlighting but the gold is finished on the hulls.


iv spent some time basing my eldar allies as im not worried that its getting later into the year and the sunny spells will start to thin out more so id like what ever im going to paint based and ready before the end of September.


so with this post here is the eldar based and ready for action


 


the base is crystal ice blue from army painter  then ill dry brush them highlight and finish them off with a wash to tie it all in


this is the same process as the dark eldar n I think they've turned out really well so i'm trying it agen

this weeks project

ravagers -  this week im painting ravagers and ive already got the main hulls up to being completed all I need 2 do is highlight them then wash them


but before I do that ill paint the gold and wash it all 2gether


the sails are also done and they cloth needs painting purple 


the sponsons will be painted separate as they all have guys on them so they need eyes doing




hopefully 2day ill finish the hulls, sails and front weapons off here is a pic so far




to day I hope to finish off the hulls, sails and front weapon they jus need highlighting and then washing but before that ill put the gold down.


iv also based n sprayed the wraith knight which is pictured
