Dark Eldar Raiding Force

The full Dark Eldar team - I showed the repairs to Urien a couple of days ago and these have also been rebased to suit my current style. I'm very happy with how they look - it's probably quite a nice little skirmish force for kill team-sized game - I could imagine them on a slave raid pitted against the various post-apocalyptic scavengers and survivors that I have!

I only have five of these Kaballites completed so far - the rest of the squad are basecoated and awaiting more work. 

The Wyches - the figures were painted around 5 years ago - I also took the opportunity to move all of the Dark Eldar figures to bases that have weights in the bottom as they were quite prone to falling over, being quite spindly.

Any comments or suggestions? I'm really happy with the way these now look! Seeing them makes me want to work on the others I have left over...some day!

Dark Eldar - Master Haemonculus Urien Rakarth

I had a tidy out of my wargames bits/unbuilt figures collection a few months back and stumbled across a box of mixed items that hadn't been explored since I moved from my last place to my current house - basically the last bunch of figures I painted whilst I lived there - I don't think that any of them ever made it on to the blog.

Sadly, one of them had suffered quite a painful-looking accident whilst in long-term storage.

I don't think that Finecast can really be blamed here after being in a foam-filled cardboard box for just shy of 3 years! 

Well, it was time that the little Dark Eldar force I've collected got rebased anyway - they all had the old yellow flock that I used to have on all of my bases. I had to break the join between Urien and the blood worms he travels along on, then re-pin him to them. I then covered up the join with green stuff. Whilst on with that I also transferred him to a much more suitable 30mm base, befitting an ancient and twisted pain-surgeon of the Dark Kin!

Here he is finished! Suitably blood- and gore-splattered and looking very pleased to have located his next treat! Coming up soon are the rest of the painted Dark Eldar I have, which have now also had their bases upgraded to match this. I also have a squad of metal Harlequins, the last half of a Kaballite squad and finally some Hellions to complete.

Let me know what you think of him in the comments section below!

The Anti-Pope, Advocate of Lucifer

I'm always painting, but I tend to get backlogged when it comes to updating this blog - I'm going to start and go through the multitude of projects I've finished since the start of the year and show the finished figures to my lovely readers! Here's the first - the Anti-Pope:

This is a figure that I painted around 5 years ago - the original figure was purchased from a gentleman on the Post Apoc Wargames forum and is a Spinespur Anti-Pope, which was then stripped and repainted - I've yet to actually use him in a game but it's a pretty interesting figure - my plan is for him to be leading a cult in the post-apocalyptic wasteland, although he could quite easily fit in with a bunch of different genres. Note that all of the crosses are upside down - he's basically a Satanic version of the Pope. I recently rebased him and took the opportunity to do a few fixes on the paintjob - especially my number one overused paint effect - verdigris!

I hope you enjoy the figure - comments and advice are most welcome!
