Lippy Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Around 2 months or so ago I decided it was time to think about another new army. It was a toss up between Necrons and Dark Eldar and this is where I ended up. I own two other army, Tau and Black Templars, both have entirely opposing playstyles. And with the Dark Eldar I'm looking forward to having a third! I picked up a job lot of secondhand models, in varying states of painted/built/NIB listed below: Lileth, 15x Wyches 10x Kabalites 5x Hellions 5x Mandrakes 2x Venoms (unbuilt) 1x Talos/Cronos (unbuilt) 2x Razorwing Jetfighters In the long run I'm hoping to field a mixed Kabal/WychCult/Coven list featuring a bit of everything, just as I see it in the fluff. Will largely be a lurker in this section of the forum until I've got an idea of where I'm going but I'll be around, and may even post a few photos of my minis as I paint them up.

E_50_Panzer Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Welcome to the dark side then! Even though you're still figuring things out, I can already recommend getting a few raiders and a ravager or two. Anyways, have you decided on a paint scheme?

Lippy Posted June 21, 2017 Author Share Posted June 21, 2017 Thanks for the welcome! Yeah, first purchase once I'm done and ready is a Start Collecting box, Archon and Haemonculus, followed by another Raider, Ravager, and maybe some Grotesques or something else. I've painted 5 kabalites so far and made a start on the Wyches. http://i.imgur.com/4zbNhyc.jpg Last Hatred as you can see. I like the purple. My Wyches and Coven will follow the similar scheme to tie them all together. Im not a competitive player, so I'm just going to get what I think's cool, but i see the army as being a Kabal with Raiders backed up by a Ravager and some other units. Wyches in Venoms with Hellions, Reavers and Razorwings, then a Hired Coven with haemonculus, looking after his creations - Grotesques & Pain Engines. I just hope i can fit them all in!

E_50_Panzer Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I like them - the Dark Purple really fits the Dark Eldar. Have any pictures of the wyches? What cult will they be?

Lippy Posted June 22, 2017 Author Share Posted June 22, 2017 So for the wyches they'll use the same scheme above for their kabalite armour then the standard black for their 'wych suits'. As for which 'cult' (*ahem*) well I'll just see the rules and decide what one suits me best. Same for Last Hatred tbh, its just a colour scheme for now. Lileth will just have to pretend she's a normal Succubus until I get a standard model if the Cult of Strife rules don't tickle me. I finished the purple on all 15 last night. I've used a mix of dry brushing, washing and highlighting to get there so now I'm onto the black half and the wych flesh. After them, I'm going to roll a die and choose which of the other 5 unit types I'll paint next (though I may leave the mandrakes for a while as they least interest me fluff wise). Seriously I cannot use the word Which in this area of the forum now without wanting to pun..

Iron Father Ferrum Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Seriously I cannot use the word Which in this area of the forum now without wanting to pun.. Paint Lileth tan. Then she's a sand wych.
