Rhivan Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Hello everyone I've been doing project logs for a while (and I even have one on this site in the Dark Eldar section but I didn't know that this existed at the time as I'm still kinda new to Bolter & Chainsword. (It's here http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345779-kabal-of-the-nightsworn-project-log/ ) Anyway I play Dark Eldar and have been making a converted army in the theme of Necromancy, Armor, and Kabals (you'll see some of these themes as I post images) if you all would like I could start posting lore to go with each of the models as well. Anyway on with the show! Talos Pain Engines Grotesques Incubi My first conversions (These are pretty much a test now but I'll put em here anyway) WIP Mandrakes (Conversion not Complete) Wyches-Kill Team (You can see some of my other projects here if you look) Archon Conversion Anyway I hope you guys like some of my conversions and more will be on the way, and I look forward to your comments Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/349644-nightsworn-dark-eldar-project-log/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulhunter1995 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Apologies if this is threadomancy but I just want to say that I love what your doing with these conversions I especially love the Incubi and the Talos (or is it Taloi for plural?) Anyway keep it up my friend Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/349644-nightsworn-dark-eldar-project-log/#findComment-5165450 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhivan Posted October 31, 2018 Author Share Posted October 31, 2018 It's not all all threadomancy xD I'm always happy to see or hear people's opinions. Plus I'm always working on my army I just go through bouts of inspiration and motivation to work on things (and sorely limited by my budget) I didn't respond for a while as I didn't have any kind of ideas for my next idea but I had a concept for Wracks that I thought would give me an excuse to respond :P Stand in awe of my legendary MS Paint Skillz :P For the conversion it's using Wrack legs, and I wanted an armored torso and shield (the shield representing the 4++ he WILL have) and I want to have at least a few spears point forward because I like the idea.

Soulhunter1995 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Well it definitely looks better than any of my attempts at MS Paint :P I like the idea of the wracks although it's more my love of those heads Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/349644-nightsworn-dark-eldar-project-log/#findComment-5182205 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhivan Posted November 1, 2018 Author Share Posted November 1, 2018 Lol, I have quite a few ideas with MS Paint that I've cobbled together. I'm a huge fan of masks myself and will be pulling from Nighthaunt, Sisters o Slaughta and Executioners for the majority of my army going forward. The Wracks aren't too far away as all I'm lacking atm is the Wrack legs. Once I have them than I can post some WiPs of them. Sometime later this week I think I'm going to post some updates of what I've been working on so I can post actual progress here xD Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/349644-nightsworn-dark-eldar-project-log/#findComment-5182715 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhivan Posted November 30, 2018 Author Share Posted November 30, 2018 Proof of concept for my Wracks/Dreadspears. I rather like it. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/349644-nightsworn-dark-eldar-project-log/#findComment-5203607 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulhunter1995 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I`m liking the look of those wracks, especially the combination of the helms and the fantasy bodies :) what coven are you going to use for your army btw ? :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/349644-nightsworn-dark-eldar-project-log/#findComment-5205113 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhivan Posted December 17, 2018 Author Share Posted December 17, 2018 Prophets of Flesh is 100% the way to go with Covens as the rest just can't compare to the 4++ it gives all your stuff (plus the shields make more sense that way :P ) Not to mention I can start ressurecting my wrack squads with CPs afterwards.

Rhivan Posted January 24, 2019 Author Share Posted January 24, 2019 Minor update. I'm slowly dragging myself out of my hiatus from modeling I've put myself in with a conversion and a painted model. The latter is not done yet but posting this helps motivate me xD Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/349644-nightsworn-dark-eldar-project-log/#findComment-5240668 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulhunter1995 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Very impressed, I see what you mean now with the medusa conversions XD Would love to see a full army shot at some point :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/349644-nightsworn-dark-eldar-project-log/#findComment-5240745 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhivan Posted January 24, 2019 Author Share Posted January 24, 2019 Thanks! I would love to take a full army shot when I'm actually proud of the full army. A lot of my initial army was bought second hand and hodge podged together to play.

Rhivan Posted January 28, 2019 Author Share Posted January 28, 2019 So I don't have any new models I've kept playing with painting so that is the update you'll see. I'm really liking how I paint ice. Like a lot. As for the dark metal I have two main ways I've been painting it and this is the newer way I'm testing. I should've done the former method on the raider but I've never washed a vehicle before so I didn't know the consequences. Overally after I did a hasty fix it's good enough for the base (note I haven't touched the sail area or added a new sail (old one fell off as this was a used model) For the infantry I'm actually disappointing how the paint job turned out. I like the idea as what I really want is (Metallic) Black Armor with golden trim with purple cloth. Problem is I have no earthly clue how to paint in general (i'm picking things up) but atm have no idea how to edge highlight effectively and well it made me do a poor paintjob on probably my favorite mandrake :/ If you guys have any tips or tricks on painting & highlighting I'd GREATLY appreciate them. Otherwise lemme know what you think I'd really appreciate some comments & criticisms on this one.

Rhivan Posted February 25, 2019 Author Share Posted February 25, 2019 Alright guys so some good news! (Yay) I have a few big projects under way. 1.) Trying to find out how to turn a Zombie Dragon into a Tantalus, 2.) A daughters of Khaine battleforce I need to convert into a Wych Cult, 3.) A bunch of Haemonculus coven stuff coming including Khainite Talos Pain Engines, more Wracks, and a new and improved batch of Grotesques based off of my previous ones but IMO better (I'm currently waiting on my bits to arrive for this) 4.) A new Harlequin army themed off of the Mandrake Conversions (which will eventually be replaced as I do concede they don't fit the Mandrake aesthetic...(I'm looking at alternatives which include kitbashing the Chainrasp horde with Eldar bits) So I only have results for 2 & 3 (although I honestly plan on focusing on 3 & 4 in the near future) I hope you guys enjoy! Now the Harlequin army is actually themed as my Archon's special forces so imagine an army of these guys and you have the general idea of my (very expensive) plan.

Soulhunter1995 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Whilst I always love seeing your conversions and this army in general, the prospect of you turning a zombie dragon into a tantalus is making me very excited :D I`ve never thought of that before but now you`ve suggested it, it sounds like a very creepy and cool idea :P the harlequins are looking rather excellent as well i must say :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/349644-nightsworn-dark-eldar-project-log/#findComment-5263921 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhivan Posted February 25, 2019 Author Share Posted February 25, 2019 So because of this post I took my Zombie dragon (that I had somewhat assembled) and compared it to the size of a raider (my original idea was to basically have the raider on the back of the Zombie Dragon kind of "War Elephant" style) but looking at the size comparison if I actually carry through with the idea I'm gonna need to pull from a couple other Dragon kits as the Zombie dragon is just a little too small I think :( If I wanna carry through with the idea (which I kinda do) than I'm gonna have to pull from some other Dragon kits. Because come on the Tantalus is terrifying in CqC and in Melee which is PERFECT for a Dragon. Plus ever since I saw the Eye of Error's Ravager Dragon conversion the idea of an Archon finding a Dragon in a raid and thinking "I wanna ride that" has been in my head. I mean if you are a space elf pirate lord YOU WANT A DRAGON!

steamius Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Very cool ideas you have there. I especially like Drakes 1. Something about them just screams "Run" Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/349644-nightsworn-dark-eldar-project-log/#findComment-5264464 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulhunter1995 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 For the tantalus, would you be able to get two zombie dragons and combine them like some two headed creature? :) That would definitely fit your army theme :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/349644-nightsworn-dark-eldar-project-log/#findComment-5264515 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhivan Posted March 9, 2019 Author Share Posted March 9, 2019 Alright a WIP that I'm waiting to set and paint but... behold my Talos Khaine Engine! and thank you so much steamius for replying :D Yeah looking back it's such a great image. (I didn't realize the temporary names are shown... I'm gonna have to put a little more thought in the names xD So Soul, I'm currently considering the magmadroth from the fyreslayers for it. In other news another talos tail came in as well as 60 kabalite legs.
