Axineton Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 So I know nothing about the Drukhari but I think they look so cool if a little bit crazy! I thought I'd start a plog after picking up a few bits over the last few weeks. First things first. I swapped a redemptor dread and a box of aggressors for two razorwings on some trading page on facebook. They were already assembled but need priming and painting. I also have the Drukhari kill team box that I'll assemble and put in here too when I get round to it. I've called my Kabal the Kabal of the Poisoned Talon. I'd like to say I came up with it in a brainstorming session but I found a Kabal name generator online and thought that sounded cool. I'm going with a two tone colour scheme of purple and green with these. I ordered some chameleon paint from greenstuff world so just waiting on it to turn up. So far the Razorwings are built and on their stands. Going to prime them tomorrow after I've been to GW to pick up some bits.

WarriorFish Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 A good start, don't forget that you can't really make an army just from flyers so I'd recommend some infantry next ;) Colour scheme sounds good, I reckon it'll look nice on the larger canvas of the jets. Have you considered some fancy patterns on top? Just in case, GW won't be doing swaps without receipts any more which is fair enough so if any more swaps are on the horizon keep that in mind :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/350716-plog-kabal-of-the-poisoned-talon/#findComment-5176965 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axineton Posted October 20, 2018 Author Share Posted October 20, 2018 I have a squad of kabalites and I also have the kill team drukhari box and picked up the drukhari commander this morning which is a sucubus and I also have an archon plus 3 reavers too. Oh and a few helverins too Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/350716-plog-kabal-of-the-poisoned-talon/#findComment-5176991 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axineton Posted October 24, 2018 Author Share Posted October 24, 2018 So the Greenstuff world paint turned up quicker than I anticipated and I've got to work with using it. Only one coat done on each razorwing so far and it's quite hard to see in the photos but I'll let you be the judges of it. It's a great paint and didn't even need thinning down which is a bonus!

WarriorFish Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 That's a really nice colour, second picture captures it best with the light on :tu: I think white or a cream would like nice for a secondary colour but do you have any in mind?

Axineton Posted October 25, 2018 Author Share Posted October 25, 2018 Thanks WarriorFish! It was quite hard getting the colour to come out in the photos, I tried so many angles. I’ve not thought about other colours yet. I want to get the second basecoat done tomorrow when I get home from work. Great thing about this paint is I think it’s already thinned down! I did think about caliban green for an edge highlight but I’m not sure that’d work.

WarriorFish Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I'm not sure Caliban Green would work either, might be one to ask in the Forge for some expert help? :tu: Lighting is key for photos, with good enough light my potato camera can even pick up some decent detail sometimes. A daylight bulb goes a long way here especially as we approach GMT for winter, it also makes evening painting a lot more viable too :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/350716-plog-kabal-of-the-poisoned-talon/#findComment-5179276 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axineton Posted October 25, 2018 Author Share Posted October 25, 2018 Yep I use a daylight bulb as my main light in my painting room and I think I need a desktop lamp with a daylight bulb too. I have to agree about caliban green as well mate after thinking about it. Might have to do a purple highlight but not sure. What do you reckon for the recesses as well?

WarriorFish Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 If you're going to paint inside the recesses I think a black would be fine, but you'll need to be careful not to paint over your shiny primary colour.

WarriorFish Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 I can see you're putting the time into these, and it's certainly worth it. When do you think you might start getting details on? They'll really pop then :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/350716-plog-kabal-of-the-poisoned-talon/#findComment-5184932 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magos Takatus Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 After playing around with Chameleon paints myself I came to the conclusion that they would look wonderful on Drukhari/Dark Eldar vehicles. It looks like you beat me to it. They look awesome. I agree that it's really hard to get the colourshift colour to show properly in photos. It looks greenish to me from those pictures. Have you considered highlighting the model using silver colours before you do the colourshift stage? I don't know if it would work but it might make the edge highlights stand out? failing that, just doing silver edge highlights afterwards might work okay. I'm got an Imperial Knight in Evil Forest and I'm also trying to decide how to paint highlights on it.
