My Commander XV8



Rebuilt, magnetised and painted the weapons platform for the guardian squad



Got my other XV8 on my board, as well as my XV88 and an FW XV9. Hoping to get them well done in the next 11 days.

So been a while

New Project!

After some spirited discussion on here (which i started) i've invested in my craftworlds future. 1 deathsled, otherwise known as a cobra.



Wonderful FW model, probably the best i've ever had. No warping (cept a very slight bend in the plastic brightlance it can with...but not the resin)



Left the cover off the cannons back to paint underneath before i put it in place. Got my 2 nightwings to do before i touch this guy, so looking forward to it in the new year. Superheavy comp in February!

Also got this from FW



The new hornet...looks a little shrimpy, and very weedy next to the cobra but i likes it. Can understand why its so expensive though...the size of the flash attatched to the chassis. Not featured in this pic, but it was huge. Easily as much resin in the flash brick attatched than there is in the rest of the model. Put it to one side...gonna use it as atank barricade...its big enough, and the right size. So buy a hornet...get a free piece of scenery!

Will update as these go, and when i get some decent pics of me DE.

Can't wait to see them finished mate. A few Apocolypse games in the new year me thinks... might be able to get a few tables together in the hotel!

Looking forward to the paint jobs!

Theres the Cobra...been finished a while, but didn't get round to a good picture

Then zoom out from that photo and you get....



Nearly the full army. Theres a handful of unpainted guardians (like 30 odd), 10 Kroot, 1 crisis suit, 1 hammerhead, 15 DE Warriors, 10 Wyches, 1 Ravager, 6 Reavers, 1 archon, 5 incubi, Urien and a few bits of scenery) since they weren't painted they didn't get photoed.

And individualed....

The important thing about my DE is that the flesh tones are much darker than other DE.

I work on the basis that a DE experiencing the rush of release on kill get rejuvinated, and becomes flushed and alive. So looks much alive!

Also each faction of the army has a different scheme. Kabal in that dark blue, Wyches in grey, Hemoncults in green, and street gangs in red. Just cos they go to war together doesn't mean they dress the same colours. The squads may carry fabric of the Kabal colour to show who sponsors them though...

Lelith (bad picture really...hairs much brighter in reality)

That Cobra is glorious! I want one myself to keep my Scorpion company! Love the whole tank fleet! Not sold on the colourful panels on the flyers though. Any chance of a close up on them?

[fuzzbuket]

fantastic!!!

That cobra is SWEEEEEET!!! I really love how all your tanks look together on the table just so nice.

On the Hekatrixs' whip I would add some more highlight to make it look more like it was glowing with power, but then again you might be going for a different look.

I'll try and get close up on the fliers next time i get my camera out, probably just the Nightwings, not too proud of the Phoenix, cos it was one of the first models i painted (wierd i know)

More Photos!
