Kabal of the Wraithkind

Awesome very vibrant!

Love the fierceness of the colours on the sword. Really stands out

Thank you for saying that. Now I'm going to go back to my Kabal for the next painting

Tonight I repainted one of strongest drakons of Kabal of the Wraithkind.
(Yeah, he's not the archon Tliensic D'raque as I couldn't imagine his figure based on the current codices)

Very nice I must admit, I do miss a lot of the lower-level IC options from a modelling perspective. Corsair Barons at 35pts a pop are ideal for promoting widespread conversion. Is your Dracon going to be a counts-as Archon? Seems to fit nicely for the Dracons of a large kabal to be as powerful themselves as the Archons of lesser kabals

Interesting conundrum of how to represent Tliensic using current 40k rules. One of the things I've found quite helpful with my exodites is to treat each codex entry as nothing but the rules in isolation, and use them for whatever I think fits

Is there another HQ option from a BB codex that would fit his fluff nicely? could even be the rules for a named character. They're just rules after all

Visarch done. Not so perfectly satisfied with him cause the color scheme is bit far from what I expected.






I also repainted a few Iyanden bikes too.

Not particularly satisfied with him?! He looks stunning dude I love the dark shadowy armour contrasted with the vibrant turquoise. If that was my work I'd be pleased as punch

Now. Those bikes. I quite literally don't have the words to explain how much I like them. Stunning work!

Agreed. The bikes are stunning and the Visarch looks great too.

I'm really glad to hear that. Thank you pals.

Regarding the visarch, I saw really great one in someone's instagram (cannot find the image now) which still makes me unsatisfied. To be honest, the black knight itself is that unknown's idea :$ That was really hilarious.

It's been three years since my first raider. Tonight I started the new one after a long time.

For anyone interested, here's the recipe

Blue: Ulthuan Grey -> Lothern Blue -> Sotek Green -> Kantor Blue -> Abadon Black
Yellow: Ulthuan Grey -> Yriel Yellow -> Averland Sunset -> Agrax Earthshade

Really nice work dude they really look like glowing neon which is kickass.

Thanks for the recipe too stuff like that is really helpful

Thank you, @Ynneadwraith as always

Today I finished the sail of the raider (only one side). The character means 'soul' to express my Kabal of the Wraithkind.









EDIT: And the flip side was painted as well. 'The Wraithkind Kabal' written the ancient runes of Elder Scroll.

No worries

Wish I could freehand like that too. Must take some calligraphy classes...

Finished the autarch of Iyanden for his endeavor in the previous game

What did he do to deserve such a glorious paint job?

He blew up an enemy drop pod for the first shot, and then soulburst to wreck another vehicle for the second shot in A turn. Fluffwise it was pretty impressive for me and gallery. Such an action reminded me of Cypher, and that's the reason that I gave him two guns

Haha nice both the paint scheme and the exploits of Mr First Autarch

Oh, and something I've discovered is that if you give most HQs a relic Pistol (like Kurnous' Bow, Parasite's Kiss, Crescendo or Song of Ynnead) which doesn't replace any of their existing weapons they get to be Gunslingers just like Cypher!

Not exactly a competitive use of points, but fun nonetheless

I painted a warp spider exarch as a present for my friend.

And that's very fluffy=interesting combo, @Ynneadwraith. I'm gonna read my codices for the ref-check. Thanks for the inspiring

No worries I was wondering how useful it would actually be, but the Song of Ynnead is actually an awesome little weapon, the Parasite's Kiss has a neat wound regeneration thing for only 5pts and the Crescendo on a Troupe Master is basically a 3-shot Shuriken Pistol (4 shots with his Gunslinger to fire the other one)

Finally started painting my Vaul's wrath support battery. Here's my work today - still WIP.

Yellow is indeed a pain to paint...

I'm gonna draw Iyanden & Ynnari symbol to the first and second battery, respectively, but have no idea for the third. Any suggestions?

Symbols done. It was very fun to paint them.

They are, from the left to the right, the symbol of Iyanden, Ynnead, and....meaningless

Very nicely painted but, and this is purely personal opinion, the one on the right just doesn't look very Eldar-y and doesn't match the theme of the other two.

Nice!

I do have to agree with the Count, although it's far from a problem at all and still looks great

It's a bugger I didn't see this when you were still asking as there's this excellent site that lists all the known Eldar runes: http://eldar.arhicks.co.uk/miscellaneous/eldar_runes.php#mythology

You got true sights indeed!

I knew the website, @Ynneadwraith. I actually was painting one of those symbols. But I just ruined it by mistake, didn't wanna rebuild the painful yellow gradation, and had no more painting time due to heavy work as well. So I just covered the failed symbol with the blue circle, leading to the unsatisfying symbol that Count Adhemar pointed out

I may repaint the third battery later...after finishing a box of wyches, shining spears, kakophony, and so on

Ooh yeah that would be a pain to re-paint :S I've got half a dozen things at least that probably need repainting, but not enough to pull me away from the ever-growing primered legion so I can sympathise with that!

Still being sick of painting yellow, I did alternative conversion work tonight. Here are my Ynnari shining spears.





Have no idea why the image was tilted

Painted some of them.
