micahwc Posted February 11, 2018 Author Share Posted February 11, 2018 Thanks, I like the bat wings but I'm not happy with the white on the feathered wings.

Rhivan Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I'm really enjoying your progress on your models :D The scourge wings (specifically the Bat ones) look fantastic. The feathered ones seem to clash with the rest of your theme but they still look good nonetheless.

micahwc Posted February 12, 2018 Author Share Posted February 12, 2018 Yeah I'm not happy with the feathers, but I'm not sure what to do with them unless I give them a touch of tzeentch and do multicolors Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/343882-micahs-dark-eldar/page/3/#findComment-5009484 Share on other sites More sharing options...
micahwc Posted February 14, 2018 Author Share Posted February 14, 2018 Won’t be home until late tomorrow so no real updates yet, I did however order three Ssylth from Games Workshop, and Lilith Hesperax to push me into free shipping. I figure a raider with an archon, Lelith, 3 Ssylth, and 5 Trueborn will be a huge fire magnet that will bring pain in both the shooting and melee phases.

WarriorFish Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I really enjoyed painting my Sslyth - just don't leave it as long as I did :lol: You're making great progress so I think you can spare a few evenings off ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/343882-micahs-dark-eldar/page/3/#findComment-5010946 Share on other sites More sharing options...

micahwc Posted February 22, 2018 Author Share Posted February 22, 2018 Slow day at work so I'm assembling 3 Slyths, Lelith, and a box of warriors. After this I think I need to focus on 2 more boxes of warriors and a few raiders. Edit: I have a rules question, so if I need to post it in a different forum let me know, but how does an Archon's aura abilities work while inside an open topped transport? Do the models in the same transport benefit from his aura? Do models outside his transport benefit from his aura?

WarriorFish Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 The OR would be the place for detailed rule discussion, but auras don't work when you're embarked as far as I'm aware. A rulebook check will be needed to confirm if that's still correct.

micahwc Posted February 22, 2018 Author Share Posted February 22, 2018 http://i.imgur.com/hc1QOYi.jpg http://i.imgur.com/qkIjYVW.jpg Got all this assembled today. I also snagged an assembled but unpainted warrior squad on eBay for $13 shipped. Edit: got up way to early this morning and went to my favorite bitz seller’s site, I ordered enough parts for 30 more basic warriors with splinter rifles for about $45. After everything arrived I’ll be set on warriors with enough to fill out a brigade.

Pearson73 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 The metallic colours are looking really good together and the shade on the wings has added a lot of depth.

micahwc Posted March 2, 2018 Author Share Posted March 2, 2018 I found an STL file for a dark lance, but I am out of my good filament for my 3d printer; I do however have the sample filament that came with it which should be enough to print out a few. I've ordered new filament which should be here on Tuesday, so hopefully I can find an STL of a blaster and I should be set for heavy and special weapons.

micahwc Posted March 5, 2018 Author Share Posted March 5, 2018 We are trying to buy a new house and are getting the current one ready to sell, so for the near future there will be no further updates, I packed everything up last night. We are hoping to be able to move in in about 2 weeks or so, although that depends a lot on financing and selling our current house. The new house has a room specifically for my hobby stuff, so yay!. I've got about 40 more warriors in the grey still.

Lord Asvaldir Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Really like the gold, goes very nicely with the blue. Looking forward to seeing some fully completed warriors soon! Hope all goes smoothly with the move, having your own hobby room will be awesome, hope to have one myself some day.

micahwc Posted March 13, 2018 Author Share Posted March 13, 2018 I ordered some Dark Lances from shapeways today, and I plan on ordering 3 more raiders today. This will give me a list that is basically an Archon, Succubus, 3 Sylth, and 5 trueborn in one raider, with three raiders containing 10 warriors with a splinter cannon. I'm giving them cannons instead of dark lances so they wont suffer the -1 to hit when the Raider moves. I will then have two groups of true born with dual dark lances sitting in the back, as well as the 10 hellions, 9 Reivers, and 5 scourges I have. The scourges will also have dark lances and will deep strike. The house we were looking at was sold out from under us by the builder, so we are looking for another one now. Erg. List: Battalion, 3CP, 1992 points Raider 1, Dark Lance Archon with Agonizer and Blaster, Succubus with Archite Glaive and Parasites Kiss with +1 attack combat drug, 3 Sylth with Shard Carbines, 5x Trueborn with 4x Blasters. Raider 2, Dark Lance 10x warriors, Blaster, Splinter Cannon Raider 3, Dark Lance 10x Warriors, Blaster, Splinter Cannon Raider 4, Dark Lance 10x Warriors, Blaster, Splinter Cannon 5x Trueborn, 2x Dark Lances 5x Trueborn, 2x Dark Lances 10x Hellions, +1 strength combat drug 9x Reivers, 3x Blasters, +1 toughness combat drug 5x Scourges, 4x Dark Lances Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/343882-micahs-dark-eldar/page/3/#findComment-5031311 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Dont Dark Lances become Assault weapons on vehicles or is that a different weapon? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/343882-micahs-dark-eldar/page/3/#findComment-5031354 Share on other sites More sharing options...
micahwc Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 I assume it’s the vehicles dark lance and not the dark lance of an occupant Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/343882-micahs-dark-eldar/page/3/#findComment-5031444 Share on other sites More sharing options...
micahwc Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 I got everything I own out last night and actually put together a list based on the models I have or have on the way. Pretty similar to a few posts above. Battalion, 3CP, Drukhari, 1993 points HQ: Archon with Agonizer and Blaster, Warlord Succubus with Archite Glove and Splinter Pistol (Parasite's Kiss, +1 attack from combat drugs) Troops 10x Warriors with Blaster and Splinter Cannon 10x Warriors with Blaster and Splinter Cannon 10x Warriors with Splinter Cannon 10x Warriors Elite Sylth Sylth Sylth 5x Kabbalite Trueborn with 4x Blasters 5x Kabbalite Trueborn with 2x Dark Lances 5x Kabbalite Trueborn with 2x Dark Lances Fast Attack 10x Hellions (+1 strength from combat drugs) 9x Rievers with 3x Blasters (+1 toughness from combat drugs) 5x Scourges with 4x Dark Lances Dedicated Transports Raider with Dark Lance (Archon, Succubus, 3x Sylth, 5x Trueborn with 4x Blasters) Raider with Dark Lance (10x Warriors with Blaster and Splinter Cannon) Raider with Dark Lance (10x Warriors with Blaster and Splinter Cannon) Raider with Dark Lance (10x Warriors with Splinter Cannon) It's 10 placements for deployment. The group of unmounted warriors and the two groups of unmounted trueborn will try to hold a home side objective while providing Dark Lance fire. The other 7 units are all speedy.

micahwc Posted March 26, 2018 Author Share Posted March 26, 2018 I committed to painting 30 warriors by the end of this week in a Reddit post. Probably a mistake, but oh well.

Lord Asvaldir Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I struggle to get a unit of ten warriors painted in a week, 30 sounds crazy. Only time I've ever attempted a workload like that was to prepare for a tournament. On the plus side however you'll have a whole lot more dark eldar done and ready for battle just in time for the new dex.
