Time for more pictures.
Previously I said that I'm not content with that simple and inexpressive black-red color and decided to develop a new color scheme for our army. I also decided to take the brush and try my skills. We began the repainting about 4 moths ago and now almost all of our playing units have new colors and look cool. I also developed my skills so yo can judge about it on my Coven Guard picture.
There are some examples. Ravager - One of my first painted models. Looks a little bit flat, but I'm still not experienced enough to master the True Metal Metal technique.
Repainted viper made Venom, which you might see previously

Looking awesome! The new colour scheme is way better, bright colours to show off those good conversions
As for that Coven Guard, I'm in awe. Well done!

Unique, not too many colors to conflict with each other. Solid paint job as well. I really like where this project log is going.

You know, that Wraithknight is very interesting, you're not the best painter, but you certainly make up for it in cool conversions. Love what you did with your venoms as well.

The Coven Guard looks fantastic - the 'gems' are not gems, nor soulstones as such, they are blisters in the armour of eldar constructions to contain sensory equipment etc (or so it was explained by one of the designers in white dwarf ages ago) whilst ensuring that they're not exposed to enemy fire.

Just discovered this, and I have to say, I *love* that wraithknight
I had a loose idea in my head that I might try and convert a coven Wraithknight sometime, but hadn't given it much more thought. You have already got the idea nailed, it looks like. Nice work!

Thank you all for the feedback! It's very nice to see your comments.
Here is a couple of new pictures. I continue to collect viper-made venoms. Now I used another bits with less parts. My Ravager blades are out, so I made the wings of sails, cutting them out from frames. Work in progress, I'm still waiting for splinter cannons, which I ordered in substantial quantity.
The first one. Here will be a turret as on other Venoms. Rear platform is also made of common spare parts. As a base for that platform I used a strange odd bit from Tanalus kit. The miniature is magnetized to its base. The magnet is strengthened with green stuff. Otherwise it will come unglue and remain on the base, because the magnets are very strong.
The second one The platform is made of an unused Wraithknight bit. The shooter will be based on that platform secured with hook and chain.

Here is Sslyth court WIP. 10 models totally, but not all are ready. Need somehow to change snaketails' posing, as 10 same looking models is too much.

Here are my painted scourges. Well, I was very happy with their quality until I saw these pictures. There is so much imperfection became visible. I hope you will advise me something to make my paintwork better. Anyway I love them and I bought 4 kits with 20 models totally when it wasn't mainstream.
I magnetised barrels so I can choose freely between HW blaster, H-Lances and splinter cannons.

I really like the color gradient you have on the wings, what is your recipe?

Love the silver and pink... super original concept. Man it reminds of Yoji Shinkawa's concept art for Metal Gear Solid where he did all this pink laser light on all the grey/metal surfaces. Needless to say I love it!

Thanks! That's a result of a long creative search

It was simple. Wings had a basecoat with xereus purple. Then I put a drop of very thin screamer pink on a part that should be highlighted and spread it slightly to the sides.

Those new customized Venoms now painted.
1st Pseudo-Viper
2nd Pseudo-Viper
And here is how I made generic Venoms look a bit different. Maybe someone will find a couple of useful ideas here.

My only idea would be to keep up the good work! Especially the first Venom with the Reaver Vanes looks superawesome
