WIP Blog: Kabal of the Dread Shadow

Very nice. Can't wait to see 'em painted! Are you going to do any basing on the flying bases?

I've thought about doing basing on the skimmer bases and am still torn as to how to do it.

I usually take normal bases instead, they have small holes on the under side which you can drill out. They are easier to base.
I like those poses, very cool. Nice also that you put in wych weapons and such.

I do the same thing, and would recommend to everyone. The flyer bases just don't look good. Not when left blank and not when based with flock and such.

Dont tell me you glued on the canopy before painting the cockpit....?

Yup. I didn't glue the driver in. I'm going to do black/tinted canopies. Hopefully, I can pull something off with a high reflection. If not, I'm not too worried about it. Less work is good.

I do that too, but that is because the eldar drivers look horrible... Not sure how I will do with my DE ones.

So here's thinking about paint. I'd like to see what you all think, especially some of the finer painters.



This is what I'm thinking.
GW Paint First/Reaper Paint Second. And for the record, I'll be using Reaper Paints.

Kabalites:
Imperial Purple/Deep Amethyst armor.
Goblin Green/Field Green accents.
Burnished Gold/New Gold metal shoulder pads.
Mithril Silver/Polished Silver guns.
Chaos Black/Pure Black under-armor.

Deviations:
I want my forces to look unified, yet distinctly separate.
Incubi will have white faces, similar armor.
Wyches will have a reversed paint scheme with armor and accents.
Haemonculi will have a completely different paint scheme (yet to be decided) with Kabalite armor paint.
Hellions will follow closely to Wyches.
Reavers will follow closely to Kabalites.

Solid theory, now throw on some paint!

You'll only get a real feel for the colour scheme by putting brush to plastic.

Best of luck.

Where did you get the basing kit you used on the Wyches etc? Great work btw.

I don't know if you have begun paint yet.

I'm not feeling the green color as an accent. I did a model s few years back that has somewhat of a similar scheme. Take a look and see if this is kind of what you are going for or not.
