Really good use of complementary colours, I feel a third colour might make the models pop a little bit better. The Khymerae are really good, thinking of adding some of the new releases to your force?

Now this is something that crossed my mind as well.
The picture that made me stop scrolling was the incubi one with white in addition to the normal colours.
In my opinion this is the colour that would fit the bill. Clean and it brings out detail.
I'm in the middle of choosing my very own colour scheme and after looking at your incubi I think I'll have to take white into consideration.

I like the army and it looks really nice together.
I was impressed of the usage of VC wolves for cheaper Khymaera, only thing I have to note on them is the mold lines on the gaunt arms.

Keep up the good work!

I must say those are really good.

My favs are the vehicles, I just love the extreme tron highlights.

What wings are those on the Scourges?

Awesome work. I love the freehand on the Hellion boards and the simple conversions you did you break up model monotony.

Great to see some conversions using bitz from the Dark Elf Ark Corsair's, as I was thinking of using a head from that kit for my Archon (the one with two tall top-knots). In fact the entire Dark Elf Corsair unit is a great investment for conversions. (GW's Phil Kelly even recommends it whilst discussing his army on Tuesday. > Phil Kelly talks Dark Eldar

The majority of your conversions are really well carried out to be honest, even the bases are quite simple but really well done and smart. Your interpretation of a Chronos... Well that thing creeps me out Shocked

, and that's got to be a good thing.

The only thing that I'd quibble about is the posing of the Scourge at the front of the squad as it looks like his leg is broken... Additionally the highlights on some armour could be a little thinner. These are just minor issues and I'm just trying to provide constructive criticism. Overall you've done a great job so far! So keep it up!

Something I took to heart. I ordered about $30 worth of bits from Horde of Bits on Ebay.

Very Nice collection of Models there!
Nice cohesive army, really nice conversions on the Trueborn.
I alos like the use of the old school Urien Model.

I really like that the Razorwing flock looks like the flying seekers from Phantasm. What a Face
