can u mix DE & E troops? :s

A Corsair army can include Kabalite Warriors and Craftworld Eldar to a limited extent.

Good to hear things are coming along.  I think the voidstorm squad will be a cool build, but may end up spending a lot of time looking good on the shelf rather than on the table.  Before you put them together as a voidstorm squad, read your copy of IA11.  You may end up wanting to use them as normal corsairs. 

Post some pictures of the Warp Hunter and Nightspinner when you get them done. 

I like that you used the old Yriel's Raiders color scheme.  Reminds me of the Book of the Astronomican!

Hi thanks for you reply!

It is my intention to eventually have practically all the unit options of the Corsairs army list.
Im not too fussed if the Voidstorms sit on the shelf in the end because of the above and also because I want to playtest all avenues of the Corsairs army list.

Paint scheme wise, I will also be using other colour schemes. Im not sure if I mentioned but part of the reason of the rename of my thread to Coalition of Corsairs is that I will be using other colour schemes - which ones I havent decided yet. Obviously, Im going to have to try to ensure they dont conflict and annoy my opponent's eyes. But I do love my Yriel's Raiders - old school FTW.

PS My Nightspinner is a standard GW one not the special FW one - which looks really cool.

Corsair Prince in progress


Costructed from an Autarch, Fusion Pistol from a Corsair Felarch and Corsair Wings.
Had to trim down the corsair jetpack a bit and I lopped off the Autarch's wings on his helmet.

Should I kept the Autarch rune on his helmet? Doesnt make sense to me...

I'd file off the rune and replace it with a Yriel's Raiders logo. 

Alternately, perhaps lopping off the head entirely and replacing it with something from the Dark Eldar line would give him a little more character. 

Looks good though!

Thoughts on the colour scheme?

Heres how I did the under mounted Shuriken Catapults. Take the Splinter Cannon, cut it two thirds along, it produces a perfectly fitting pivot for the twin linked shuriken catapults found on Wave Serpents.

The useless Veteran Corsair Voidstorms - just being abusive to my lads.




And the much better loooking (and therefore better on board!) Bladesworn. If only there were Incubi equivalent.



These will all have jetpacks eventually.

If you don't want your voidstorms, I'll be more than happy to take them off your hands. They look great and earned their keep for me.  ;)

As a slight deviation and distraction, here is a Dark Kin alligned Corsair Prince (or basically Duke Sliscus)



Or with Dagger

I prefer the wings, but this is coming from the guy whose HQs both have Fairy Wings on their jump packs.

If you're looking for little cat things to represent a Gyrinx, check out Reaper's familiars.  You can buy them individually from Hoard 'o Bits on eBay.

Genius. Those are brilliant familiars esp Familiar Pack VIII because they dont have bases.
Just ordered some, I think they will add a very nice fantasy feel to the Corsairs. A lot more piratey.

Ive taken a bit of a rest from Corsairs and have been painting some Dark Eldar.

Here is a sneak peak of my Trueborn "Mercenaries". These four are my custom Trueborn with Blasters, Shardcarbines, Close Combat weapons and Scourge helmets. Bases are Fantascape.

Shardborn

The models look nice, but it's hard to comment on the paint scheme with the lighting setup you have.  A piece of white paper for a backdrop and drawing the shades on most windows on a bright day will give you a nice even lighting for photos without the need for any fancy lightbox setup.

Re: Khorne's Coalition of Eldar Corsairs - UPDATE: Voidrazor Dragonwing!

Voidrazor Dragonwing

Decals to be added and some clean up work to be done. I love the model so much Im going to buy another one but replace the Dark Lances with Brightlances and have two underslung Shuriken Cannon - then it can proxy as a Nightwing







Missiles arent glued on so they can be removed. I plan on changing the oval base to a custom one and added a small box to store "fired" missiles.

Inspiration:
Garfy paints a Razorwing
(Garfy paints a Razorwing Jetfighter - Forum - DakkaDakka)

I know this is a double post and additionally that its about a month and half since I last posted but this is my SitRep for May.







I have decided to migrate my project to a new clean start with new fluff and new photos seperate from my old thread of corsairs. This can be locked up and closed.

[mod]You know that it's against the rules to double post, so please don't do it. As for locking the thread, for future reference, please note that you can do that yourself, but I've done it for you on this occasion - Iris.[/mod]
