Kabal of the Black Dawn

So, I guess I'll start logging progress of my Kabal here. I wanted to share what I'm doing and possibly get some advice.

So far I have 30 Kaballites and an archon, and getting three raiders, two razorwings, and a voidraven. From there it's another archon.

So far, in the painting of my current models.






You'll have to forgive me for the lighting, as otherwise its all slighty darker shades of blue.

I've realized I haven't updated this in a while, and a lot of progress has been made, so to keep it brief, here's pics. I've finished painting my kabal, and I've started on my coven.



Then for some close-ups;

Looking good so far, keep it up.

Interesting so far. How will you be doing the bases for your force?

Cheers, I'm planning for a sort of rocky/urban warzone, with the occasional bit of more defined rubble or corpse.

I've always been a fan of grey and another muted colour as the primary colours for an army - and it looks good on your lot for sure! The orange/amber look on the tabards is nice.

It's slightly difficult from your photos to see some of the finer details, but I could suggest adding a contrasting colour somewhere - either complimentary like a yellow or something aggressive like bright green. Just a thought.

I haven't seen your army about - mind if I ask which part of Aotearoa you're based in?

Hm, I might just go with that, A bright green on a shoulder pad and perhaps other areas sounds like a fine idea. Yeah, my photo skills aren't the best, the next log will hopefully be of better quality.

Another from NZ I see! I'm in Wellington myself, but I've only started my deldar a two or three months ago, not having quite a big enough army to go to any tournaments or the like.

Right then, another dump of what I've don since my last update.

Since then I've gotten a talos and painted it, my haemonculus and my wracks. In addition, I also have a voidraven and second archon now.


Snapshot of everything



I decided to give my second archon a spear, more a whim than anything. The green on the base is supposed to be along the lines of acid.





My haemonculus.





The talos was an interesting affair as I had never worked on a clear base before, but I think it turned out well.



Not sure about the lighting here, but all the lines on the voidraven are supposed to be a purple. I do however plan to add a lighter highlight. Obviously, I have yet to attach any of the glass.


The base itself took a while, but I feel it was quite worth it in the end.



The wracks have also turned out well, but I'm thinking of adding a lighter highlight to their robes.

Wow, realised I have not posted a lot of the recent progress I've made here. For those who see this, this will be changed tomorrow to an update

Really nice Sarcron, I like the muted colour scheme it definitely makes the spot colour details pop. Also very cool use of subtle conversions for the Archons, they both look perfectly natural and in keeping. I look forward to seeing more!
