It wasn't as difficult as it seems.

You start with the body from the Chaos champion of Slaanesh as seen right here.



Instead of the chaos head you take a DE warrior head from the sprue and glue it to the body. The champions feet are actually hoofs, so you must use some greenstuff in order to sculpt some normal feet.

Then saw off the sword and add a splinter pistol to the hand. For the left arm: Obviously I didn't use the shield so instead I sculpted a gaunlet to which I glued two knives ... again from the DE sprue.

Essentially that's it.
Taking a very long break.

Been a long time since I was on this site. Damn that world of warcraft is addictive.

Some nice DE armies out there.

Mine is currently under review........ and several tons of rubbish in a cupboard.

However it was being converted with everything being reworked except the Incubi. I put it off for far too long though, but since I last worked on it several new Dark elf and wood elf bits have come out that should work along with eldar and dark eldar bits to make decent looking stuff...... hopefully.

In the meantime heres the only pictures that I have of anything DE related in cupboard. Hoping to do some stuff this week and will post pics as and when I can.

Couple of easy Incubi conversions first




And my bog standard Urien Rakarth cos, well hes pretty much perfect as is .Thats the model not my painting I mean.



A raider very much wip and has been for a very long time. The colour scheme was from an eldar army I got bored with and chopped up for conversions.

Update on the Shadow Stalkers of the Kabal of the Twilight Wraith...

With new fluff comes new painting ideas.  I've always rather liked the Scourge models (and the idea behind them, just not the rules) and have wanted to paint them for some time now (alas, things that actually make it out of the box have precidence).

However, painting something new can be a nice break from the monotony of dozens of warriors, and I've decided on a new scheme for them as well which breaks up the work even more.

Thanks to Scourges now being named as a further mercenary faction within the greater DE, I figured that they wouldn't be wearing the same armor as the rest of my army.  "Black pinions" seem to be a standard trait, so I figured black would be a good base color for them.  Wanting to tie them into the Kabal as a whole, though, they need some blue, so I figured the chest plate/pauldrons would be a good piece for that (large enough to stand out, but without taking over the entire model). 

Their own colors also need to be shown... and I've decided to do helms and guns (what is a Scourge if not a big cannon?) in the colors of their Eyrie (and also the sigil on the Syb's chestplate).  I decided that I wanted bleached bone to be the main color to come through... so I did a beastial brown undercoat (over the black), then kind of a half-coat of bleached bone and a very light drybrush of skull white (this way, I think, it's a bit more natural-looking, and has a bit more depth to it).

The end result?

Bad lighting, I know, but it gives you an idea of the finished product.  Hopefully more will follow suit shortly.

Working on a DE army right now. Sorry for the slight out-of-focus-ness, my camera doesn't have a manual focus and it doesn't like to focus on my minis... This is all I have painted so far:

This is what I've got painted in my force:

Archon and Retinue


3 Haemonculus with 2 Sniper Squads


Wyches



My raider force



And my Ravagers and Talos'



Unfortunately I dont have a good way to carry the raiders that's why they're a bit beat up.

I've just gotten all the bits I need for a new warrior squad (Dar Elf Corsairs + DE Warriors). Pictures as I work (I hope).
Maybe even a modification to make a(nother) new Lord.

Here we go .. found my camera...

Here's Archon Amarath



Some of his retinue (the best looking ones ... i'm so vain >.< ) This includes the converted Drazhar who i have described above


(The skull and lighter blue denotes that incubi as Master... and from the wonderful time he singlehandedly slaughtered 3 guard squads packed in a bunker) =D

Here's a Sybarite with two warriors, note the gruesome talismans from the Vampire Counts Sprue



My Warp Beasts (Cold Ones from fantasy, be they dark elf or the lizard people, i forget, but they look better than the dark eldar ones anyway) + a raider in the background



And lastly the Converted Archon/Dracon/Archite (whatever i need him for, lol) i made recently from an Eldar Farseer w/ Spear.  Used pieces from DE Warriors and that vampire counts piece again

--Front--

Back


If you have any suggestions, the people who see this model say it's not obvious at first that it should be Dark eldar (although it matches my color scheme) The problem is, i don't know what to do to his front to connotate his dark.. eldar...ness..  any suggestions?

My Lord's Second in Command (I like to think of him as Starscream). He's in charge of the Lord's Warrior Retinue:


My Banner waving cheer leader (to be fitted to the Raider, once I put it together):


Some other WIP (the Lord's Warrior Retinue):







As I mentioned elsewhere, I threw together a box of Dark Elf Corsairs and the Raider and Warrior Apocalypse set.

The Raider will have the DL underslung, rather then on top, so the "Cheer-leader" can be standing on the prow with the banner.
