1850pt Battle Report: Dark Eldar vs. Nurgle Chaos

An interesting battle here.  This really shows how a couple small, seemingly unimportant rolls can amount to a huge impact on the results of the game.  I wanted to get one more lick in with the ol' Dark Eldar before the new book in couple weeks.

Paint it Black

 

Its been a long time since I've posted anything on here...  So here's what I've been up to...   PAINTING BLACK!

Tactical WIP and test

Test tactical marine is complete.  I decided to roll with purple eye lenses.  Ordinarily, I'd run blue eyes on yellow power armor, but I feel the purple works well with the red crest.  I think the blue would have conflicted and I was really trying to avoid a rediculous primary color marine with red, blue and yellow. 

Lysander Complete

Lysander is done!  Well, he's done, but his base will need a bit more.  I'll throw some basing on and call it a day.  I'm going to hit him with testers dull coat before I do anything else.  The red crest on his back is super sensitive to touch.  A slight nudge and the red comes right off. 

Tfire Techmarine WIP

 

 

If you've seen one Tfire techmarine, you've seen em all.  I think I've squared off against at least 50 angry techmarines that have recently lost their best pal thunderfire cannon to enemy fire...   needless to say folks...  they're usually out for vengeance.  God help us all if its big guns never tire and they're scoring angry vengeful techmarines! 

Yellow - Nightmare or Challenge?



I've heard horror stories of painting white, red and yellow power armor and I wonder if it has nothing to do with the painting method or even the colors themselves, but the sheer amount of negative area on a regular space marine?  I'm about to find out.  A lot of folks like me that like the hobby and the game in equal measure are really torn when it comes to complicated paint schemes; on one hand I want to have awesome and masterfully painted models, and on the other I want to get those models on the table as soon as possible.

Lysander WIP

 

I was really impressed with the Asterion Moloc forgeworld model but who wants to build and paint a whole minotaurs army?  wierd!  After I wore down the minotaur icons with my file, greenstuffed up some really obvious mino references and applied some copper Imperial Fist icons, the model was ol captn' lysander!  I've got some work to do on his base; I'm going to file and greenstuff up the ground behind his back leg and make him a bit more dynamic and less "suspended"looking.
