forming the chaos warband

my dark eldar  have been the glass hammer that have so far served me well.  but as tzeentch says the only constant is change and with so 2 new codexs comming out (chaos marines +deamons) where getting closer to the change. 

iv struggled with the concept for my chaos  for ages  keep them as loyalists using the chaos book was my first  idea  then i coulds still keep original world eaters as i wanted to do fill them out and make a full armoured company  that is in most heresy books  usually somthing like this

landraider
rhinos
IG units
dreads
flyers


my second idea go full chaos  as i want some of the new models they look amazing.  especially the hellbrute  and dragon flyer but then the old world eaters wouldnt fit 

so my final idea  is this  to have the legion style lay out as above  with  my original world eatersadn everything else slowly falling into chaos  ill keep the original blue/white colour to keep the army cohesive on to the chaos armour and then add more blood red to show them turning to khorne.

now all thats  out the way  here are the juicy pics of the dark vengeance stuff !!

 

unboxing dark vengeance!!!

ok guys  dark vengeance is here  so lets  get to it 

firstly  the box  is  lovely and glossy lots better than the  black reach 1 

as you can see lovely  :D  hehe  although  6 dice  isnt enough  lol here is the lay out of the box. their is lots of space  that could have been shrunk a little.

here is the chaplian not snap fit. its lovely with plenty of detail at this point ill mention every model is full of detail since their  mostly snap fit ill post pics in a seperate article!!



next is the roster for each army it doesnt  give points  values for anything  jus the equipment  if u flp it over their is a quick reference sheet for the armies and special rules that youll use

 

next is the  seal  pack  this contains  the rule book more of the same sheets  and a how to pay intro  giude with rules and missions as well as a book or building all the models.

 



so thats dark vengeance!!!  a great box  models  up next

wyches armour done!!

first n foremost since grandad nev has has been reading the blogs  ill point out that he very graciously let me borrow his airbrush and compressor to use. their u go nev sum recognition

so iv bin busy and fully highlighted 10 wyches  4 left to do!!!

i also have a few extra wyches that im painting up as well. 

 here they are bit blurry but u get the idea 

whats next for the wyches

hair
weapons
skin

even more spraying

so  iv started the days  spraying  by getting a new can of spray paint and spraying the last few bits and peices  white. the  only thing left to spray white  are the  vehicles.

so whats left to do 

3venoms
2 ravagers
1 raider

need to be sprayed white

3 venoms pre shading with black
2 ravagers pre shading with black
1 raider pre shading with black
8 gaurdian arms needs pre shading with black
1 warwalker needs pre shading with black
1 gun platform needs pre shading with black

then
3 venoms spraying in first colour
2 ravagers basing in first colour
1 raider basing in first colour
8 gaurdian arms needs spraying blood red
1 warwalker needs spraying blood red
1 gun platform needs spraying blood red

after all that the entire army will be based at the very least in their first  colour  then i have to paint all the detail on them later 2day the pre shading will be done  and the blood red will be sprayed on the arms

more spraying

so iv done abit more keep plugging at  it  :P so what have i done  iv  shaded all the gaurdians that i had sprayed white  then iv sprayed them blood red as well as half a warwalker.

so whats left to do with the eldar contingent:

the farseer needs spraying red
2 gaurdians need spraying white shading and spraying red
1 warwalker needs spraying a little more with white then shading then doing red
1 platform needs abase making then spraying white then shading then spraying red

the arms ofthe gaurdians need spraying white shading and spraying red

after all that they need highlighting with blazing orange and the gems are green!!  then their done

the begining of a new army!!

so iv been mega busy with my airbrush  and done  plenty of hardcore spraying  i kno have  this many models left to base

1 wych with an agoniser
3 true born

ill have a go at the vehicles this after noon.so heres  how  their looking so far starting with the wyches

a lovely  group shot awwww lol   next a close up of a wych so u can see the armour

here is the same wych from the back so  u can see the shading

next is a comparison  shot of the old armour compared to the new armour

now its tme for the trueborn!

and their we have it

GW reply wat a surprise

well  gw  have  replied and thoroughly surprised, they are sending me a free  exalted seeker kit!!  so the little guy won :D 

so now with the original  kit ill be building the exalted seeker chariot so without further a do lets go!!!
this kit will be done in parts for ease of transporting it

firstly front chasis assembly

done  here is the  pic it was easy  enough!! lol

next  the combine  harvesters of doom!!!

that was  easy again  and  it attaches to the chasis in the middle u may not need 2 glue it but heres how it will look.

now its time to put 2 gether the steeds that will pull the mights combine harvester of doom!!


here how its looking so far  its a huge model transporting  3 of these will be hard

now its time to buil the to chasis  at this point check the depth of where it will be carried  i reckon this kit will be 3.5 inch tall mayber taller which means ull struggle 2 fit it in standard GW cases


now more harvesters of doom!!!


and here is how it looks so far

now  from here on it gets fiddly  as im keeping it a all seperate untill i fgure out how much space i need and for painting

next the riders were glued and the seats  and  here they are

it wont be fully built untill iv painted it so stay tuned

apoligies  for  uploading it and forgetting to add the pics lol
