Nurgle Carnival (2500 pts)

Over the last 3 weeks, i been working hard getting a new army together.

I've talked alot about it, and finally decided to start it after the model finally going plastic.

I'm talking about Nurgle Carnival.

As of right now, i have 21 Plaguebearers ready (out of.... 90-100), with plans for about 60 of them, so there should be alot of variety on each of my units.

First, lets look at the list. I know that Daemons are due sooner than later, but with Games Workshop finally closing any chance of rumors on books to come, i have to work with the conviction that the new book will not be released before our next big events, which is planned to happen in March.

First tournament under 6th edition (1500-1650 pts)

I played my first "tournament" this weekend with my Dark Eldar at a friendly 40k day down at the store. I brought my Dark Eldar to try and see how well they can do outside my basement (my previous games were all agains my friend Orks).

I'm pretty proud to say that i went 2 wins and 1 draw with a far from competitive list (at least, imho).

Here's what i brought ;

Building a table for 40k

I've spent quite alot of time lately building terrain to be able to play 40k at home. Right now i have roughly 7 ruins, with pretty much all done except basing, adding rubble, and painting (so basically, they are built, that's it). They are all built using Foamcore, white glue, and about 10 exacto's blade.

The buildings in their current form

The tape was used to hide the work on the corner, before i started shaving one side...

October 18th as if it was Christmas.

I just received my order from meeplemart.com, one of the best, if not the best online market in canada. Friendly, goes the extra mile to please their customer, and overall great price.

What i ordered is a whole lot of battlefoam kit, Janissa (Trollblood) and the Dark Vengeance box.

Pretty box picture

Incubi Done !

So i spent some time working on my old Metal Incubi, switching their paint scheme to what i currently do with my army. The 10 models are complete, but i doubt i'll ever use the 10 of them. With those complete, i'm up to 1300 pts, which i think deserve an army shot.

First the incubi

Some dont have their base yet, they are painted, i just didnt take time to finish them

Then the army shot

Pretty crappy picture, but its the best i can do at 9pm

List of the month (Dark Eldar 1750 pts)

Not Burned out, just playing the game.

The past few months been pretty quiet on the painting side of the hobby. After many, many weeks playing Warmahordes, we switched to 40k, trying out our army that we only let out a few times (4-5 games maybe in 5th ed?).

I have roughly 1500 pts of completely painted Dark Eldar, with only a few units still unpainted (Hellions) or not bough yet (Reavers).

Here's my current V6 Dark Eldar list, 1750 pts of shooting goodness...

August come and gone. Incubi WIP #1

August is almost done, and i could say that except for the weekly WarmaHordes games, i didn't do much wargaming related.

But the past few days, with my vacation nearly done, i got some motivation to paint again, and this time i spent it painting Warhammer 40k, getting my army slowly to the 1750 pts mark painted.

Obviously, for those that didn't like my rusted up warriors, the incubi won't help them change their mind, but for the others, enjoy!

Obviously, their weapon's blade isnt finished yet, but i have no clue what color to paint them...

Runts Trollbloods WIP #5

Today i present you ; Banana #1 !

First of its kind, painted yellow like all Pygs

Tale of Painters ; Razorwind Jetfighter

Last few days were spent painting my Razorwind. I'm pretty happy with the result, as i tried pre-shading on a much larger scale, and it worked wonderfully. Not sure how good it is with different color, but its pretty good on yellow.

Note that the yellow was very hard to paint, both under the sun and the table light.

Here's a WIP of the yellow, before the whole paint scratching stuff. It's pretty much the best picture of the yellow i got.

Tale of Painters ; Talos Pain Engine

So during July, i painted a Talos Pain Engine. I was really looking forward to paint that model as i think its one of the best looking one in the Dark Eldar range. I'm pretty happy with the final result ;

Pretty happy about how all the color go together... Ok, there's ALOT of color, but i'm still happy.

The good ol' string job. A signature on my army so far.

For this one i didn't highlight the paint chip. But i did attempt a few new chips method using my rubber paint.

The red "bottle" at the model's bottom is painted in a way to have a very bright red, as if it was glowing...
