Nurgle I'm not happy with you right now.

If there is one thing I don't like it's feeling ill. Especially where there isn't a major bug going around, and it hasn't bedridden me.  Just makes me feel awful.

On that note I haven't done much this week for Warhammer, all I painted before I started to feel "Bleh" was a converted up archon I made for my dark eldar.

Kind of basic as far as color schemes go but I like it. I made her from a couple of pieces the main being the lead vampire countess from the Coven throne. which I had to remove the head and file a hole into the body for the new head to fit.
I couldn't find a good enough slave for her to be "sitting" on since the model looks like it's lounging anyway. So I decided to pull a piece I hadn't used from my exalted chariot of Slaanesh kit to give her a "Floating" pedestal.
Looking back over the model it's obvious that I still need to do a few more things, Maybe some freehanding on the dress. But for now she looks good in my opinion, and a welcome stand in for an Archon, Lady Malys, or even a rule #63 version of Duke Sliscus  (Duchess Sliscus? I dunno)

Anyway that's it for this late edition of Wargame Wednesday, hopefully I'll have something new for friday, don't be surprised if it's late.

From the operating table.

So I kitbashed another couple of miniature for your viewing pleasure. Unfortunatly no painted wargame stuff this week, holding off to see if an acquaintance at my LGS wants his Blood Angels painted, that way I might get all the red I have waiting done in one swoop.

So, first off lets check out the Haemonculus.

As you can see I used the scourge body with the kablite officer sword and wych pistol, then attached two talos vestigial arms (oh how I wish the scalpel one would have fit.) They syringe needs fixing after an unfotunate accident, but it should be easy with the talos spines I have lying around. 

Moving on to the wracks. 

Now I really like these guys (and gals) using the scourge chests along with wych legs gave them the first "medical experiment" look I was going for, and then I was amazed to discover I had almost enough right and left dagger arms to give the entire group their two weapons. I wound up chopping some of their tanks, and replacing them with talos vestigial limbs, to make them even more twisted, and I'm sure you can tell the "Liquifier gun" is a Tyranid devourer.  I think giving this entire unit the masks was a good move, hiding their twisted and pained faces. 

There is one that I like above the rest though, I've nicknamed her "The mantis".

 Next up, converted hellions/beastmasters. 

Now I like the hellion models, quite a bit, Almost enough to make me want to take a full unit of them with the baron that makes them a scorning unit....But I don't like them quite that much. That being said I also love the beastmasters, and considering I am committing to the bird theme I really want to have a full unit of beastmasters with as many razorwings as I can fit into the unit. (so if you know of a good razorwing flock proxy or conversion idea leave me a comment below.)

Finally we have the archon whom now has his helmet with large horns, though I have yet to decide what I should do for his base...considering either skulls or ruined scenery. 

As always feel free to leave comments, ideas, ect. and I'll see you guys on friday.

Kabal of the scarlet shrike. (beginnings)

So as I said in the last blog post that I started on my dark eldar stuff, now time to show off what's on my operating table. 

So lets start with the thing that actually irritates me the most about current dark eldar. These guns. THe rules for them are great, but the price tag on each is 7-9 bucks on bits sites before the shipping, luckily I have 5 when I bought the army.  Now all that being said I converted up some blasters that I like better from the PLENTHORA of blaster pistols that you get building an army of Dark eldar. 

The entire conversion is a simple cut and glue of the blaster pistol onto a splinter rifle. I like it better than the standard blaster. 

And now I have enough for all my units and Trueborn. 

So lets talk raiders....old raiders specifically. Been doing a little conversion work on mine with the bits from the newer ones, The first is one that I'm using for the wrack pimp-mobile. The second is one that I've converted into a ravager, considering I had the two warriors carrying darklances I thought it was the perfect fit. 

Moving on from the raiders, I'll show off the archon and save the beastmasters for the next update (hopefully then I'll have a good idea on what to replace the razorwing flock models with so they're cheaper.

This archon is being converted from a scourge model, with bits from the finecast archon and the scourge box. when my bitz show up he is also going to have a massive horned helm from the black dragon kit for dark elves.  Right now I'm simply calling him "The archangel"

And last but not least for this Wargame Wednesday. I finally finished Throgg the troll king. 

I still love this model, and I must say I'm really glad I went with the pale icy blue for his skin tone. really makes him pop when you set him next to the other trolls...who knows I might finish up that 13 man squad soon. 

Thats all for now, See ya'll friday.
