First of Many

I've kicked out a fully painted squad of warriors, and I've been working on raiders and jet bikes lately (and gosh,  the raiders take a lot of work to get looking good. I had to build it partially, paint individual sections, and then finish building it and touching it up).
Warrior Pics: entire squad


Leader

Dark Lance

Other individuals


 I'll have a Scorpion Mechaniloid update soon, and eventually some sneak peaks of my lesser and greater Thralls (which will make great wracks, grotesques, and haemonculi).
until then,

On Sculpting

Along side my Dark Eldar painting project, I've been sculpting a giant mechanical scorpion inspired by the Talos art in the Dark Eldar Codex. lately I've been re-working the limb designs, and overall I've decided that I'm going for a more organic looking model. Here is a sneak peek, even though the pic doesn't really do it's face justice.
I've also been working on some terrain to go along side my new army of terror as shown below.
Fear the mighty wall of cake!


First Blood!

I got some sweet sweet new plastics last weekend, so I've been hard at work getting them built and looking presentable. Army of choice at the moment is Dark Eldar, as they got some swanky new sculpts, and by the gods are they gorgeous! No seriously, you'd have to see them in-person, built or on the sprue to know what I'm talking about. I've got my first squad of warriors built and painted up nicely, and here is the pic of my test model.
Some things in the pipeline for the future are another squad of the warriors, 6 bikes, 2 raiders, and an Archon.
