Kabal of the Twisted Femur

Been painting like crazy over the last week so as to be ready for our big game - this weekend I completed the last few Kabalites for a couple of squads, one old school Raider and did 75% of the work on another Raider plus a Ravager. By the end of the week I need to have done both of these, one more Ravager with the void shield negating weapon from the Apoc DS, a Reaper, a Raven, a Grotesque and a Haemonculi. I may also need to do 2 Archons but I think I can do it!

I've been having photo issues this week - I need to check if I've mucked up the photo settings somehow, but here's some pics of a Grotesque, and Leltih - both sadly a touch blurry.

Nice ROG! But then, I'm biased

Are you planning more?

I like the understated nature of your Lelith model, you've not been tempted to put too many different colours on it, makes the vest stand out really nicely.

Thanks guys

I have one more ROG, but 5 Grots...do I need more? Probably if I'm going WWP but at 35/40 pts each they aren't optimum choices.


Re Lelith, she has matching top and bottom in my pinky/purple scheme. She's a lady of style, mixing colours would be a no-no!

Great uniform look. Keep it up.

Thanks...beginning to hate purple though...

Raven is finished , except the flight base which is sceniced but needs paint and a couple of retouches I spotted this morning. I'll take a photo tonight. I've also got one more of the Raiders done, and a Ravager is sitting on my desk, just need the finishing touches on 2 of the crew..that should also be done tonight.

Now just the following to do by Saturday:


Reaper
Ravager (with Apoc upgrade)
Haemonculi
Aberration

I know exactly what you mean about the purple, just getting to the end of my Serpent Guard Space Marines, Liche Purple with silver trim, and started work on my eldar Wraithlord and Rangers, guess what? Liche purple with Dheneb Stone, aargh. Is it any wonder I started my DE instead!

More purple...







The sail on the Reaper is awful...I gave up on fixing it and just painted it in the end.

I also took a shot of a Haemonculi that I'd thought I'd done quite job with..but the photo was focused on the wrong part (hard to tell that on the camera screen) so will need to be retaken.

That pink paint really screws up the camera...it's nowhere nears as bright in normal light.

Did it break Simon, or did your have to assemble it? I actually found making mine with plasticard and Testor's cement went a lot easier than I though it would, and seems to be durable enough.

These both look good, I especially like the Reaper. How did it go in the Apoc game? I find that they work great whilst intact, but having just the one weapon means that they are neutered quite easily.

No it didn't break, it's just poorly cast. The sails have gaps next to the spars, and rough surfaces. In the game it fired once, missed and then got popped.

Here's the Hameonculus I painted for he big Apoc game - he still refuses to be photographed well!

I can relate to that

I haven't touch this army in ages (boxed it up for most of 6th Ed) but with a new codex coming I thought I'd work on some more models. I probably won't use them much as I don't like the 7th ed changes and the new dex is sounding utter tripe, but I want to finish the projects I started back in 5th.

Here's my second Ur-Ghul (spare GW head, arms and legs from a Ghoul, torso from a Skeleton, the rest from styrene rod and Green Stuff).

He's not quite finished, I ran out of GS before I could complete the shoulder area on one side.

Is that your twin?! It's Haemy Frost!


Also, that ur-ghul is really nice.

Finally done some more work on my Dark Eldar (and also for my Chaos)!

After 4+ years I've actually started on this kit. Looks horrid, isn't great to build (a lot of GS work needed). Still much painting to do. I originally intended to use it as a giant Warp Beast for my DE army when playing Apocalypse, and I still might, or I might just use it as a Khornate Gigantic Spawn (which is the IA rules I'll be using anyway).

Posting again as I've got out my Dark Eldar so my girlfriend can use it with her Harlequins. I realised that I hadn't update this thread with some work from a couple of years back, so here's an update before any new stuff. Updates won't happen for a bit as I'm working on a Knights/Sisters list for an event next month.

The completion of the giant warp beast can be found here:

and then we have a completed DE Ravager, one with an extra weapon thingy, which used to be my lead ship in the old Titan killer (or whatever it was properly called) Apocalypse formation.

I've realised I've got several new models done, that I've never even photographed - I'll have to rectify that soon. In the meantime, here's a couple of shots of my Kabal and my Craftworlders about to die horriby to Iron Hands!

Should add the 2ed green base is on a mini I bought on ebay and haven't yet rebased or repainted it yet(as it's in Alaitoc which I have, so I can use it as it for now)

some updates yay - over the next few days I have some newly photographed stuff.

few more pics

It's nice to see that some people are still active and hard at work. Keep it up! I always enjoy seeing this thread being fed more pictures

thank you, more pictures incoming - this is my almost done new Archon, speed painted to use at the North East Open this weekend gone. He's been finished since this photo was takien, just a bit of tidy up and the base finishing.
