Wraith Lord and Vypers 1&2
It has begun! The Dieing Light Of The Evening Star is done, not as good looking as I hoped it would be, but it is my first big attempt to blend. Next is the Mother Aspect, this mini is Hasslefrees Beacg Babe Libby and her Vyper transport, she's magnetised to some green stuff I've added to the hull and the Death Jester is for now just blu taced in. The 2nd vyper has been retasked from the Corsiar army, this one represents the Maiden and I've tried to get a silver white effect like the light from the Maiden Moon. The mini is again from Hasslefree thid is Boudi and Lenore is on the other side (she'll be my Crone aspect) and lastly is the finished Boudi.

Bone
Or How I've Been Doing It Wrong All Along.
I have a releatively stress free week at work this week, but so far have only got one nights painting done, I got the Wraithlord out and started with an Ushabati Bone base coat over the black on the weapons, when that was dry I gave them all a sepia wash and when that had dried bry brushed the whole thing with Screaming (biege) Skull. Got to say yes this looks better than the dry brush over a Nuln oil wash and no I won't swop my Terminators over to this method.

Black Out
Advise, advise, advise me, this crowd shall not surfice...
Got home after a very nice day yesterday and took the Wraithlord out the back to spray it. I got a nice finish on it too. This one I have named Dieing Light Of The Evening Star, the metal one is called Deaths Laughter. Star I intend to try and get the effect of a late evening sky with a star on the head like an eye. The metal I want to try and get an effect like the cloud photo, which was taken over my little town, no photo shopping was done on this picture, this was what I saw.

Wraithlord For The Carnival
Was looking at this poorly posed Wraithlord I won on ebay last month and was trying to work out how to get the Scatter Laser on it, as the Bright Lance is already on the shoulder mount and the Ghost Glave is in one hand, and with the pose I was stuck with the choice of cutting the Shuriken Catapult and putting it on the outside or under or over on the arm. I spent time looking at it over the arm and under the arm but that didn't look right, and I was not happy with cutting the catapult off, so underneath it went. Looking at it I kind of like this positon.

The Carnival Under The Light Of The Blood Red Moon
Dimondic costumes dripping shades of green, the players take the stage for the a large gathering of the most mysterious of factions in 40k The Harlequins.
I got my Dreads out and photoed them and then got the air force out as well before presenting my next project, The Carnival Under The Light Of The Blood Red Moon, it looses something in the translation from the Eldar tounge and arms just won't do "that" any more.
First up is the full Carnival, the Mimes are at the front as the only completed unit in this army so far. Those Venoms are going to be counts as Vyphers when I get done with wing walking death defying Death Jesters magneted on somewhere. The Raiders are getting a paint job and each Dark Lance Gunner is becoming a Death Jester, asked a mate for some Necron heads and found some Tomb King Skele heads I could use as an option. The Razorwing is going to be another Death Jester player. The Raiders will be painted in as close to a dazzel pattern as I'm able to get and points upgrades for retro burners and flicker fields are as standard so deep striking assault transports. Next up is the Star Players these are the new sculpt Harlequins and will have a Death Jester, Master Mime(counts as Shadow Seer), Troupe Leader and I'm thinking of running the actual Shadow Seer as an Allied Farseer, I think I can do this in Unbound. Next up is my 3 Troupes of the Chorus, rather happy in that, along with the Mimes, I think I have all 4 sculptes of the Avatar of the Laughing God. And at the back are the 2 Wraith Lords I'm fielding with this army. Now just in the look out for a Tantalos in ebay for the Star Players to ride in...
