As I work on assembly of the beast pack, I knocked out my counts-as Khymerea. I absolutely love the chaos warhounds (as seen by my fenrisian wolf articles) and this gave me a chance to paint them unadulterated. I initially thought they needed pinchers or some sort of extra tentacles, but I think they fit the role nicely without any extra bits.
I'm going to try to assemble some of the flying ripper swarms as counts-as razorwing flocks. Hopefully they won't look too tyranidish but I think they do the best representation of how I see that model.
Here's where I'm at with the 1k list for Adepticon Team Tournament. I also had the chance to assemble my succubus and hekatrix..
My teammates have been hard at work on the display board. We're doing two 4 man dark eldar teams and have a pretty aggressive table to work on. Check out the progress here.
I think I have a working idea on what I'm going to start with for an 1850 list. I'm sure it'll change between now and Adepticon once I get some practice games in but here's where it stands:
HQ: Haemonculus
Elite: 3 Trueborn with 2 dark lances in Venom with 2 Splinter Cannons
Elite: 3 Trueborn with 2 dark lances in Venom with 2 Splinter Cannons
Troop: 8 Wytches with hekatrix with venom blade, hydra gauntlets, all with haywire grenades in Raider with flickerfield
Troop: 5 warriors with blaster in Venom with 2 Splinter Cannons
Troop: 5 warriors with blaster in Venom with 2 Splinter Cannons
Troop: 5 warriors with blaster in Venom with 2 Splinter Cannons
Troop: 5 warriors with blaster in Venom with 2 Splinter Cannons
Fast: 4 Beastmasters, 5 Khymerea, 6 Razorwing Flocks
Fast: 4 Beastmasters, 5 Khymerea, 6 Razorwing Flocks
Heavy: Ravager with flickerfield
Heavy: Ravager with flickerfield
Heavy: Razorwing Jet with splinter cannon upgrade and flickerfield
I'm debating if I go with two wytch squads and one beast pack or vice versa.
Lots to paint!
Now that I'm looking at them after the pictures, I think the bone color is too light... going to darken it up.
ReplyDeleteThey look fantastic...how did you paint the fur if you don't mind me asking?
ReplyDeleteIt was pretty easy. I put a coat of Adeptus Battlegrey down, drybrushed codex grey then did a healthy wash of black wash. I then came back and did a light drybrush of codex grey once it was dry.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recipe as I put it to use today on 20 or so hounds and a Vargulf. Cheers.
