Respect Your (Dark) Eldars

I purchased a set of Games Workshop Dark Eldar Kabalite Warriors back in January on eBay.  There were 9 of them for 19 bucks.  Not a bad deal.  The nice part was that they were assembled and 2 were partially painted.  I ended up repainting those but kept the bluish plumes on their helmets.

Flat black undercoat.  Purple for the helmets, gloves, boots, and shoulder armor.  A 2nd coat of purple metallic paint was then applied.  Some parts of the helmets, were painted silver along with the blades and guns. The eye areas were given a clear blue .  The silver areas were then given a black wash.  Everything else was given highlights.  The plumes were given an extra bluish white highlight in some areas.

I'm psyched at how they turned out.  Check 'em out.  I hope ya like 'em!

Off topic:  I watched Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals last night. WOW!  The Edmonton Oilers embarrassed themselves royally.  The Florida Panthers gave them a whopping like I've never seen and laughed in their faces as they did.  I really don't care who wins.  I'm not a fan of either team.  I'm a hockey fan and would love if the Oilers can provide a least a half decent effort to make the series interesting.

For the Love of Mage Knight

I have to admit I love Mage Knight figures.  They're not the greatest sculpts or have the best paint jobs, but there is just something about them.  Maybe it's just the simplicity of them. IDK.

Any way, I picked up a few on eBay for a decent price.  When I got them, I did some dry brushing on the demon, the guys with the guns got complete repaints, and the Orcs and the Steampunk Scorpion got a few minor touch ups.  I'm now pleasantly pleased with the group.

I did get one more, but I'm saving it for a future project which I will share soon.  So what about the Tau?  They're still coming along.  I'm working on some Dark Eldar as well.

Sharing some pics of the newbies.  Enjoy!
