Sorry I haven't posted anything I have been painting it's just currently my photo station has some sort of festive tree on it. I will be putting up pictures soon after Christmas as I will be aquiring a light box and I will show you all I have been painting (mostly Blood Angels as I've restricted buying anymore Dark Eldar in case anyone gets me anything for Christmas).

Dark Eldar full squad

This is the armour plating done on the entire squad complete with off source lighting on the eyes, I'm glad people like the scheme and that is it suitably menacing.

I recieved my Dark Eldar megaforce on Friday and finally I have had a chance to stick together and start work on a colour scheme so I thought I'd share what I have done so far.
Please let me know what you think.

An apology
by Darkenedsquire on Nov.22, 2009, under
Sorry for not posting for the past few days been hectic at work (I work in retail and Christmas can get a bit much) and my other half has been home so I have spent time with her doing some Christmas shopping. I will be putting a few updates up today to quench your thirst though.
Here's one I made earlier
by Darkenedsquire on Nov.22, 2009, under
Before I started this blog I bought two DC boxes and decided I would make them into fancy assault marines to see if it could be done. This was before I used army painter as a base coat and instead they're hand base coated over a Chaos black spray undercoat.
They have blue "Gems" on their armour to denote squad so I can pick out squads of assault marines easier from my carry case.
I'm a huge fan of the Dawn of War series and I loved how the jump packs glow so I decided to try to emulate that and this is the result I ended up with. I will be putting up stage by stage pics of how I did this once I get around to painting them on my current project (which as you can see in the background has received some brown onto the bits that will end up cream).
As a final note I would like to say thank you to Paul from totalwargamer.co.uk for actually managing to supply me with the Dark Eldar megaforce I ordered. After hearing there where only 20 being made available to online retailers I started to worry but they came through for me and made it happen. So if you are in need of some models for yourself or Christmas presents for family and friends I highly suggest checking them out their customer service was excellent and their prices phenomenal.
