It's been far too long. In this gap, I've learned a few things. Let me start by posting the models I painted before the middle of October:
The Kraken painted up in a bit shorter period than I'd thought it'd take. This isn't the finished work, I'll upload that later. I wish I had a photo during this process...
Terminus conversion I'm working on right now.
Little more on Terminus.
Dark Eldar Raider that houses my wonderful Kabalites.
One Kabalite out of (now) 30.
Warpwolf for the league at Gamer's Haven
Warpwolf Stalker for the league
Same Stalker and some Shifting Stones for the league.
A Woldwarden for the league.
Then, mid October, Bob (owner of Gamer's Haven) and Manny (arch-nemesis in Warmachine) taught me a new technique for painting called drybrushing. I'd heard that it does wonders, and I figured it was time I learned. Well, here's the sort of stuff that the new technique has produced...
A Dark Eldar Scourge (there're now 5 that look like this)
Dark Eldar Haemonculus work in progress.
Dark Eldar Venom completed
6 Dark Eldar Reavers (without riders...)
The best part of drybrushing is the speed. Those 6 reavers went from gray plastic to how they look in the photo in just under 2 hours. The technique works quite well, and for those of you who can't tell the difference, the models below used the exact same steps, except that the ones on the right were drybrushed post-wash.
Amazing technique. I look forward to using it more as I finish up my Dark Eldar army. I need 1850 points, just in case I need to go play at a tournament :)
Until next time!
