Hi Folks,

It has been a while since I touched to my Dark kins.

My initial motivation was guided by the reinforcement of my (old, very old) Aeldarii army. My plan was to go Ynnarii and add a tactical depth brought by the deep striking Dark Eldars plus some signature units such as Scourges and Mandrakes.

The plan was blown away by the Release of the Aeldarii codex. Which left me with some minis unbuilt and waiting in the pile of shame. 

I decided it was time to resolve this issue and complete at least the painting. once the force will be completed with what I have I will take a decision between completing it to a decent size for gaming or selling what exceed the absorbtion capacity of the Ynnarii. Seen my current pace, it is likely that the Drukhari Codex will be out before I take any decision and, maybe, Corsairs faction if added at the same time, will lead me to reconsider the whole flushing.

In the mean time, let's go painting.

I did my Kabalite in a Arkhelian green scheme. but for the vehicles, it is not a colour I find appealing. too much tone on tone.

So I decided to go Incubi Darkness, which is a colour I like.

After asking about best colour for panel lining (Question about colour choice to highligth incube darkness - + GENERAL PCA QUESTIONS + - The Bolter and Chainsword

 vs. 

But in fact the difference is bigger. which makes it rather OK and not so far away I think vs. the Citadel Colour App guidelines.

So, how does it go so far?

I set the hull bottom in bone colour, in order to remind the wraithbone underneath structure of my other Asuryani's vehicles

The panels in Incubi darkness lined with SoH green end up quite well. Panel lining in not my preferred technique and combination of hands shaking and poor brush quality requires quite a patience and a lot of corrective painting for thinker lines.

With this raider's hull test model, I end up being quite satisfied. I guess next step is to compelte the job and see how extra details may break the monolithic colour impact of this dark green. 

See you in a next episode with more progress.

PS: I am adding the chart I found back. It is a little bit old but it looks like it is not that different from what's in the App...
