Dark Eldar - Kustom Kabal

[RIGHT-Titan]

Gotta love fake alliteration.

I've come up with my own Kabal that I'm painting up now. The Kabal of the Burning Hand.

Features black armor plates with a glowing lining on all the tips of the armor. Copper Splinter Rifles and Green highlights on the poison and drug elements and the eyes.

Here is a crappy iPhone pic of my paint scheme with as much of the background cropped out as I could.

It's not fully finished... but it gives the general idea.

No base yet.. as I have to pick one, and I'm open to suggestions. I was considering molten rock.

Submitted for your approval.

Cool. I dig it!

Like :D

Dude I love it! I think a moon surface base would make those look awesome.

[BuFFo]

Looking really sexy!

[isotope99]

Looks more like a wasp than fire to me, but still great.

[fuzzbuket]

cool :D :D

[RIGHT-Titan]

Thanks for the feedback thus far... I'll post some other pics when they are ready

Moon bases might not be a bad idea at all actually... some styrene... or moon rocks...

I did my marines in a city rubble base though so it'd have to look different...

Snow might also not be a bad contrast... like melting the snow around them :P, but I'm happy to take suggestions on bases.

I would do a snow base or a light-colored sandy base for high contrast. A horde of dark figures on dark bases tends to turn into a black blur. A light grey moon base would look good too.

[RIGHT-Titan]

I'm thinking snow but some plasticard sandstone tiles would be cool too.

I'll probably do snow though. I'm from Canada after all it only seems right.

Here's my Warrior now with a base.

Ruined Tile flooring with snow drifts.

Process:
1/8" Scale Model Train Scenery Sidewalk cut into 4x4 tile sections.
Using a Pin Vice I drilled gun shot holes into the sidewalk
Using a Hobby Knife I detailed the gun shot holes and carved chips out of the sidewalk.
I primed the whole base.
I painted the top Dheneb Stone.
Washed Gryphon Sepia mixed 60:40 with water.
Then I painted the individual squares, avoiding the cracks and holes with Dheneb again.
Following that I mixed 50:50 Dheneb and Skull White and painted highlights in the middle of the squares.
Lastly for the paint portion, a thin line of pure skull white around the edges of each square.
For the snow, I used Scenic Cement and then applied Fluffy Snow Flakes from Scenic Effects.
I repeated that process twice before sealing it in with a top coat of Scenic Cement.

This is the result: (again I'm sorry for phone pic :P)

[RIGHT-Titan]

I retrimmed the bases with a darker colour and I think they look better now.

I've also finished another 3 warriors.


Sorry for the crappy pictures from my kitchen :P my camera is currently indisposed for an actual shoot.

[Tynskel]

I like the 'joker' death mask.

[evilamericorp]

Looking good, but I'd add a wash (maybe ogryn flesh) to your tabards, right now they're a little bland.

[RIGHT-Titan]

So I finished making my scourges last night, with the exception of 2 missing pieces to go on their backs (I think they were originally grenade launchers) that I'll be acquiring from a friend who has some extras.

I sprayed them last night and started painting wings to see how it'll look.

Painted Astronomicon Grey
Washed 50:50 mix of Asurmen Blue and Badab Black
Highlighted Astronomicon
Highlighted 50:50 mix of Astronomicon and Skull White.

Big fan of the scourges, nice work!

Are you by chance a Chicago Bears fan? ;)

LoL I am not.

Despite the niggling fear I have, I'll risk saying that I'm from Canada and therefor uninterested in your American style pigskin tossing and much prefer other activities such as hockey. God's gift to sports enthusiasts. ;)

Thanks for the feedback btw ;)

I'm a hockey fan as well so you're in the clear, but the colors just scream "Chicago Bears" ;)

That being said, I dig the orange highlights so keep it up!

[Firebird]

The scourges are awsome!

[speedfreek]

What do you plan to arm the Scourge with?
I really can't tell from the picture.

[RIGHT-Titan]

That one is actually a heat lance. I made the heat lance by adding a blast pistol end to the splinter rifle after chopping the very end off.

They will have 2x heat lances and 3 carbines in the unit of 5.
