The Coven of Verminlord Skrax - An unusual Haemonculus Coven

Hey guys, I have been a long time lurker, and I love seeing everyone's stuff on here. So I thought I'd share what I had just completed in time for a tournament this weekend, and I would appreciate your input on it all.

First off is the comic I wrote and commissioned my brother to illustrate, which tells the story of Verminlord Skrax:










Now you know the story, here are some shots of the army on its display board. I have closer shots of the individual models on my blog.








Comments and critiques welcome.

Mind = Blown

Thanks Marrath. I was worried I would be going too weird with Dark Eldar lore, but I think I was able to make it fit.

At, first i thought: What a strange Venom in the comic, and then your models actually look like that
Both, comic and models look outstanding(Dat terrain!) and you really fit the Rat people into 40k very nicely.
So, i can't think of anything to make it better, thus my praise must suffice.
Only idea i have would be to start a project log, and by the way, take a look at mine, wink wink

I'll check it out.

For doing a project log, it's sort of too late for that as it is already done, but I did chronicle everything from beginning to end on my blog linked in the signature. There is a menu on the right where you can filter out all the posts to show the ones related to Dark Eldar.

However, I do have some plans and a few kits bought for a Codex: Dark Eldar allied force for this army, and I will do a project log for that, as well as chronicle it on my blog.

That's really cool! Have you considered adding a beast pack?

Not really because this army is a haemonculus covens army, the beastpack is not an option for the Covenite Coterie Detachment, unless I ally with a Codex: Dark Eldar detachment or CAD, but I have other plans for that.

Yeah that's fair, i thought it'd be cool to do a harmonculus. Beast pack, with stitched together dogs and such. Figured it would let you run giant rats. What are your future CAD plans?

I'm thinking of going with a space pirates theme for them. Fitting with the exiles theme, they live exclusively in a space. I'm going to use an archon, kabalites, hellions (because it's one of my favorite DE kits), and scourges, with raiders and venoms of course. I'll probably start a project blog when I get to them in the future.
