Painting challenge - week 5 : I progress in the Durkhari area!

Ave Dominus Nox!

Another week and a new list of models paint and ready to be use when playing with friends will be available. It was in particular a second Talos and the second squad of reavers for my Drukhari.

This week, I will work on the first 15 Stormboyz. It has been a long time since I worked on some Orks.

If you take the update list:

Drukhari:

- a 6-man squad of Reavers

- 16 Kabalites

- 1 Talos
- 1 Archon
- 5 Incubi

Orks:

- 30 Stormboyz

Night Lords:

- 1 Raptor Gunship

- 10 man-squad with meltagun

- 10 Night Lord Raptors

Others (as in the first article but not listed):

- Esher Gang

- 40k terrain

And here are the pictures of all these nice stuff. 

In service of the Kabal, Talos from the Prophet of Flesh coven.

Ave Dominus Nox!

The Winter Eternal Kabal relies heavily on different cult and mercenary from the Dark City to come with them in real space. But they also rely on the different coven to provide them with some monster and shock infantry. The monster in question, some fearsome Talos, came from the Prophet of Flesh Coven. They are not cheap, but to obtain the best, you have to pay the price!

These Monster in service of the Kabal distinguished themselves by their size even if they adopt the white armor of the Kabal. 

I build both of them with the same weapons, chain-flail and macro scalpel as well as with the twin haywire blasters.

I painted them using the same methods as the other vehicules of the army, white, grey and no contrast. I work the skin in different tone of violet and I need to continue working on that

Blood Pact : Wyvern "Blood Rain" ready for the fight!

Ave Dominus Nox!

I finished a wyvern end of last year for the Blood Pact regiment.  Nothing fancy, just the usual colors and details. I start using the bitz from my Drukhari to put more spikey parts on the model. 

 

Painting Challenge: end of third week, Blood Pact done, let's move on more Night Lords!

Ave Dominus Nox,

That is the end of the third week of containment. After I started working on the last guards for the Blood Pact regiment, I found that by doing a bit of kit bashing and bitz using, I can do an extra squad of special weapon (flamers). As a result, I finished the complete stock of minis for the blood pact with 16 guards rather than 10.

I also worked on my first talos, the result is clean, but I think that I can improve the skin, I am not a big fan of the violet, any idea to improve it? 

If you take the update list:

Drukhari:

- a 6-man squad of Reavers

- 16 Kabalites

- 2 Talos 1 Talos
- 1 Archon (new)
- 5 Incubi  (new)

Blood Pact:

- 10 guards 
- 6 special weapons 

Orks:

- 30 Stromboyz

Night Lords:

- 1 Raptor Gunship

- 1 Leviathan full closed combat - WIP

- 10 man-squad with meltagun

- 10 Night Lord Raptors

- One Praetor with Jump-pack - WIP

So this week: focus on the Night Lords before moving again for some Drukhari? 

 

 

 

 

Drukhari: Reavers in service of the Winter Eternal Kabal

Ave Dominus Nox!

The Winter Eternal Kabal relies heavily on different cult and mercenary from the Dark City to come with them in real space. Most of these recruits come from the Dark Blood Cult, a cult specialized in the hunt of tank and monster. Archon and Dracons from the Kabal love to recruit reavers squad from this Cult. These fast moving and strike hard jetbike can change the course of a battle or the success of a raid.

The different squad in service of the Kabal distinguished themselves by the color marking on the bike (blue, green, red…).

I build this first squad, as well as the second one, with a mix of blaster and grav-talon. It provides some flexibility to use the squad on a table: blaster for the shooting power and the grav-talon for the bonus during a charge with the mortal wound potential.

As it was one of the first unit to paint in this new army, I tested some color mix: grey, white, contrast… In the end, I decided on using ulthuan Grey and agrax earthshade as the main color for the bike. The pilots are paint with the same method as the kabalite: grey, nuln oil and contrast black for fast painting and a correct result.

I put some blue line on the bike to help me distinguished the different squad. The next one will have either red or green mark depending of my mood.
