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

Decided to paint a Venom (that I forgot I owned Razz

) while I was painting the Archon and old school Kabalites:

Got to love models you didnt think you had!! looking great!!

I didn't think the old school warriors could be modified to Look good but you have blown my mind.

Thanks guys!

Got a tiny bit of work in today, will definitely be able to finish them by tomorrow night. I'm starting to get bad ideas about revamping an old-school Archon.......I have problems Razz

When I tried to install the top canopies they would not sit properly because of the pilot/bombadier heads Evil or Very Mad

I want to dropkick that bomber off a cliff and thought it would be better to let it sit for a while Mad

Lol I had the same problem with my last razorwing, right when I put the had finished the whole flyer and put in the painted pilot, the canopy wouldn't close correctly, I basically had to cut off the arms to reset them in place, repaint the damaged parts.

These kabalites look pretty good, I got some converted ones myself, pretty much same work, they mix in greatly from what I can see. Cool to stil see these old ones in this era.

And they're done:

Might have to scrounge up a few more of the old plastics to a couple of units. It would have to be dirt cheap, right?

Blaster Archon is 95% done, just need to do some little orange runes on the cape, weather the base and he's done.

I'll round him out tomorrow and get more of the final details done on the Venom. I might actually roll on to another Coven Raider or that Ravager that I didn't finish from the November Monthly Vow three years ago Razz

The guys look awesome ESE! Love the old school blaster warrior (always loved that sculpt), and the Archon looks fantastic. Something about the postioning of the sword and blaster gives him total DE smug arrogance. BTW I ran an SF, WWP Blaster, Agonizer Archon alongside my Fusion Gun, Banshee Mask, Soulshrive Autarch (Corsair Prince)... let me tell you those guys are ultimate battle-bros! With Wraithguard or Grotesques the majority toughness boost makes these guys into absolute BEASTS.

Also where's that Void Raven? I thought you were going to finish it! Razz

Thanks to all of that!

Ran into a BIG distraction this week. Unfortunately it's not Dark Eldar related, but has been a pretty fun modeling project. I'll paint the runes on that Archon by Tuesday or so.

I think I finally found a use for the last 10 Wyches on the sprue that were leftover....pics if it works out Twisted Evil

Haven't been totally slacking, wanted to share some progress for this army. Found a use for Wyches! Along with some extra parts from Kabalites and Raider kits....

Had a last box of unassembled Wyches that I couldn't figure out what to do with, now they will be Kabalites. Wanted more KW's and really didn't want to pay the money right now. The recycling program continues!

Progress may be a little slow as I'm adding some reinforcements to my 30K World Eaters Twisted Evil

It is convenient how interchangeable our plastic kits are Smile

Great idea, and they look cool. I use the wych bodies for my kabalites too as they are so dynamic (and suit the aesthetic I go for). I plan to proxy my wyches as warriors as there is NO WAY I am cutting thier arms off or letting them rot on a shelf, considering how darn long it takes me to take anything Smile

Sigh for wyches! (Darn you gw!)

Great call on the Wych legs + kabalite torsos. I did a similar thing on a few of my hunter/warrior stand-in models, and it makes them waaaaay more dynamic.

In general I love recycling projects for providing new ideas. I just figured I could combine unused bloodletter legs and ghoul torsos as a basis for Ur-Ghuls.

Had the same idea for the extra unit of Wyches I had sitting around. Tho I have given it some thought to make a whole squad of Lhameans as well with them..

I was thinking of a squad of lhameans too

Old school kabalites look good when painted right.

When painted right, but also with transplants from the current model range Smile

Looking good, ESE. As good as it gets with the old ugly kits.

I used the ide for the Wych legs on Warriors quite a while back and I must say that it makes some outstandingly dynamic models. I'm glad another great mind caught onto the idea Wink

I think so too, however, Im keeping some as wyches.

2 squads wyches to 4 kabalites a good proportion, eh?

Put a little work in today getting some projects ready for paint:

Need to get those two Taloi done to field the Corpsethief Claw formation. That Tantalus is coming along, really want to take my time assembling it. Such a beautiful model that deserves much care and love Very Happy

2015 will feature quite a number of DE projects and models getting wrapped up as I start into my CWE for the Independent Characters 2015 Hobby Progress Challenge. I'm commiting to CWE, but will feature ALL the Eldar: CWE, Corsairs, DE, Coven Twisted Evil

That unit is just too nasty not to try. Soon as the Coven book dropped I knew I needed to run it. These boys will be a perfect addition to your Coven army... how's your experience been with the Coven on the table ESE? They look awesome on paper

Looking forward to your Tantalus.... That reminds me, I still have one WIP...

About the HPC, what is the theme/are the rules this year?

I'll have a bit more activity here now that I'm painting my Eldar for the Independent Characters 2015 Hobby Progress Challenge. First installment:

I'm going Wraith heavy for the list this year with a few superheavies sprinkled in for good measure Twisted Evil

Looking good! Can't wait to see all the other models you've had stowed away for your Eldar
