betrayer41 Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Long time Lerker. Drukhari have always been an army that I’ve been very interested in but never took the plunge. However with the new codex I figure now is time to test out a few schemes. Here my first tough WIP all criticism are more than welcome! http://i.imgur.com/LesRnBs.jpg http://i.imgur.com/VZaeL7u.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345792-betrayers-druhkari/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Asvaldir Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Berayers? Pff we are the true kin, the ones who embrace what we are and have never accepted the decline of the eldar. I think that scheme is excellent, bone which is a great color for dark eldar, and you've got a nice balance by switching up a little bit of the armor with that red, which also happens to fit well with the white armor.

betrayer41 Posted April 1, 2018 Author Share Posted April 1, 2018 Whoooops can this be moved to Druhkari?!? Haha but thank you!

E_50_Panzer Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 He looks great. What's the plan for the basing? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345792-betrayers-druhkari/#findComment-5045303 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Golem Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Really like that scheme. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345792-betrayers-druhkari/#findComment-5045368 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 The colours work really well together, I especially like the deeper red used as an accent. An army painted like this would look great on the table top :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345792-betrayers-druhkari/#findComment-5045373 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Coolpants Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Very simple but very nice! What colours you use? Is it only a wash on the bone too? And a wash and some highlights on the red? I might be stealing this Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345792-betrayers-druhkari/#findComment-5045513 Share on other sites More sharing options...
betrayer41 Posted April 2, 2018 Author Share Posted April 2, 2018 Thanks for all the great feedback. Reall enjoying my frisrt Xenos Aarmy so far! @Panzer: NO idea at all. Suggestions are more than welcome though @Captain Coolpants: Awesome name btw, The colors are primed with Rhinox. Airbruch Vallejo bone all over, leave some rhinox in the shadows. The Red is Galvorbak red highlighted with Mephiston. Gloss varnish, wash with Agrax then wip away excess. They are going to have severl different combos of red plating. I want to people able to tell they are the same force but Drukhari never stuck me as being identical in shceme. This was a very rough scheme i just wanted to make sure i like the colors over all. I should have a few more up tnight! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345792-betrayers-druhkari/#findComment-5046219 Share on other sites More sharing options...
E_50_Panzer Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Seeing as the bone makes them a lighter model, Id say dark mud, or black ash would work for basing. I totally agree with different color combos, by the way, I forgot to say that the first time.

Vel'Cona Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 I love the colour combo! I can't wait to see more (any vehicles in the wings???) :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345792-betrayers-druhkari/#findComment-5046406 Share on other sites More sharing options...
betrayer41 Posted April 2, 2018 Author Share Posted April 2, 2018 As of now i Only have warriors. I didnt want to jump in if i didn't enjoy painting and building the models. Ill be picking up the new start collecting next week. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345792-betrayers-druhkari/#findComment-5046426 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill be picking up the new start collecting next week. I think the next challenge, then, will be finding a skin tone that doesn't "blend in" with the pale armour colour. Though I'm sure you can make it work! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345792-betrayers-druhkari/#findComment-5046980 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I will be using purple to wash the skin which should help some...

Lord Asvaldir Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Yup that looks freakin sweet, the red on the upper carapace of the armor looks much better than just putting red on the shoulder pad.

Captain Coolpants Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 I very much like both. Not really sure which I prefer. Maybe possibly you could use both for different squads/detachments?

betrayer41 Posted April 4, 2018 Author Share Posted April 4, 2018 Thanks everyone, ive decided to go with this mostrecent scheme. Threw this one together last night. Will hopefully has some more polished models done by weeks end. The Red is Galvorbak (per usual) with a quick highlight of Mephiston. Two coats of gloss varnish, wash with nuln and use qtip to remove excess wash.....which i clearly didn't do a good job of on the left leg. I knocked this one out right before the gym and was in a rush!

WarriorFish Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Sounds good to me, looking forward to seeing the first squad done Regarding reducing the wash have you considered mixing it with some medium? It's what I do on my DE for a wash that focuses more on the recesses and I imagine that would save you a far bit of effort in the long run Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345792-betrayers-druhkari/#findComment-5047744 Share on other sites More sharing options...
betrayer41 Posted April 4, 2018 Author Share Posted April 4, 2018 Honestly the wash was just me being lazy haha. I just forgot to clean it up in a few places. I tried medium, but with the gloss varnish the medium dilutes it a bit too much. Im happy with the recesses on this one i Just forgot to clean the panneling Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345792-betrayers-druhkari/#findComment-5047761 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vel'Cona Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 I honestly couldn't tell there were any flaws in the shading :P The model has a very clean transition from the white to the dark red and the contrast really distracts from any mistakes, at least for me :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345792-betrayers-druhkari/#findComment-5047793 Share on other sites More sharing options...
