An "Evil?" project log. 6/21 Don't call it a comeback!

ESE, i'm to lazy to search your 34 pages of project, but i am sure they look good.

I've done it several times for the sheer fun of watching this awesome army again and again. It's like watching naked girls, you never get tired of it...


I find the axe on a heamonculus too big, they seem to like lighter weapons, more elegant weapons. It does look like a DE weapon, but I think I'd rather see it on the incubi or on something else with kabalite armor

I think i may of missed your hellions, or maybe you don't have any, come on! Get some hellions already!

I see where you were going with this you sneaky Mandrake you!

I won't be able to get to them until next month, but I have a secret project that I needed skyboards for.......
Thanks again!

Honestly, I had no idea if you had hellions or not, I just know that's what you asked for. Although, my pictures weren't working for a couple of weeks on here so I can just see them again, also, that custom beastmaster guy, was..... fun to make   Also, how did you like the letter I sent with it?

Sorry for the lack of updates. Got distracted by a little side project: http://www.thedarkcity.net/t8409-warhammer-30k-world-eaters#90115
It took a lot of my time, but

-slow 70s clap-

Just for the record, I'm a big fan of your Haemonculus conversion - good choice of bits to make him unique while still tying in totally with the overall style of the mini.

Thanks Plastikente.
Finished up the Incubi for the Monthly Vow/Archon's Challenge:

Probably won't get the HQ and Venom done as the boys at the LFGS are giving the new Kill Team rules a rip. My Kill Team will finally give me the motivation to fix those broken Khymerae and paint up a couple of Trueborn with splinter cannons     

Sweet! They are looking cool. Great paint job on angron too. Especially like the stubble

Funny thing is, I've gotten more complements on the stubble than anything else. I guess it was a good call!

Drool... Thanks again for sharing.

BTW even though ive been through this thread all the way. I've really only focused on the photos and skipped the writing.

Have you shared your basing technique here yet? If yes i'll try to sift through the 35 pages =p

I can save you the hassle. There is a stickied thread (Grisly Trophy) in the painting section with links to a ton of tutorials. I have a tutorial on making urban ruin bases in the modeling section.

Just played the new Kill Team rule set yesterday. I'm just saying that there may be some Trueborn in this project log's very near future   

More Incubi! Joy! I can't wait to see the Haemonculus, also!

(Also, first post of 2014)

I haven't posted anything here for exactly 3 months?! Pathetic!

I did take a break from my 30K World Eaters to paint up a Christmas gift from a certain northern archon:


I can honestly (and sadly) say that this is the first piece of terrain that I have ever painted in more than 20+ years of playing 40K. I have three more to paint, hope to have those up in the near future. It was FUN!

awesome. looks great. I too know that pain. I started another army and have neglected my DE.

Great terrain piece, will look awesome on the table. Will you use it if a venom gets wrecked? Would look good for that like it has speared in hard.

Yup-either a venom wreck marker or an objective?

Nice stuff, I love the colouring on the venom.

I say it would work great for both ends.

maybe add a detachable black smoke pillar, it would add to the drama of a downed venom. And you could remove it if the piece was to act as an objective.

Really nice to see one of these painted up, ESE. And you did a great job, as usual. They were fun to make and it's cool to see it from someone else's perspective.

Cranked another one out tonight:


I got really burned out painting my World Eater Cataphractii in the back of the picture and needed to paint something evil and purple. Might try to get a bit more in on the 3 Kabalite/Trueborn with splinter cannons tomorrow. It really is crazy how close I am to having this army done....

Awesome terrain. It says you posted this at 00:00, I assume that's midnight, or maybe you were in your own time and space O.o

10:00PM local PST   

dem wrecks are looking darn cool. Gotta start thinking of doing something like this myself

Actual Dark Eldar models painted:

I have to convert and assemble the two blasterborn tonight. I'd like to have those ready for paint this week
Looking over the last of my Dark Eldar collection, I am down to these models to have 100% of my collection painted:
HQ:
-Generic Archon

Elites:
-2 Blasterborn
-3 Dakkaborn
-4 Incubi
-3 Grotesques
-6 Harlequins

Troops:
-2 Hekatrix

Heavy:
-Ravager (This was part of an unfinished Monthly Vow 2+ years ago   )

Transports:
-Coven Raider
-Kabalite Venom

Very nice, although I'm not sure they should be fraternising with those World Eaters!

24 models to go... good number to be at. Will there be a full family shot when its done?

Does it it ever truly end?   

I'll have to once it's done. If nothing else, just to take inventory for a master army list. I had been keeping track of each item in Army Builder as I painted units, but I started getting lazy around the 4,000pt mark
