Dr. Clock Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Well it finally happened; a real Space Elf Pirates release. I ran the FW Corsairs list back when, and have long maintained that my Drukhari aren't actually Commorites but rather denizens of a large expanse of shattered Webway. Anyway, been missing a consistent posting habit for painting motivation on here since Call to Arms etc., and having splurged on the launch box I figured I'd start a WIPlog for these 20 infantry, 2 characters and skimmer. So far: Got 5 on foot converted to Darkweb Reapers in the pipe as well this week... Cheers, The Good Doctor.

Dr. Clock Posted March 29 Author Share Posted March 29 They're through the ugly stage! The Cult of the Golden Skull - I guess the Corsairs found an Exarch helmet (the Golden Skull), and the last survivor of a ship's Kindred put it on a few centuries ago instead of leaving the fleet to follow the Path of Sorrow... Sole survivors now join the Cult instead of joining other Kindreds as way of cleansing their skeins and temperaments in the cold fury of the Reaper's Path. There's another guy with Autarch's reaper launcher I converted to count as a death jester a couple years ago, so with these 4 I'll have a legal unit to throw in a falcon. This is the first unit without the corsair orange in the army too... I was halfway through painting them when I realized it's basically just the classic scheme for TMNT Shredder. Still more gold details and clean up to do, but working out pretty well. What do you want to see next? Starfang, 'Deepweb Dragons', or Skyreavers? Cheers, The Good Doctor.

Dr_Ruminahui Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 I really like both units, but find the addition of the orange in the first one particularly fetching. Even if you can't work that into your reapers, I would recommend that you definitely do so for your future units.

Dr. Clock Posted April 1 Author Share Posted April 1 On 3/31/2026 at 5:39 PM, Dr_Ruminahui said: future units. mos def, dear colleague - this recent batch is the continuation of no small number of historical units. It's my original Drukhari scheme, and also my 7th ed. Mymeara-era Corsairs scheme, and my Idoneth scheme, and now again my Anhrathe scheme... When I was doing my Idoneth it sunk in that it is pretty much a 'The Little Mermaid' scheme, or more charitably perhaps, Miami Dolphins. Anyway, it ain't going anywhere... More WIPS! pretty close now: Also realized yesterday that these guys are clearly in the Hawkeye lineage, and it made me like the scheme that much more: The robes are looking alot better after some Carroburg Crimson and final highlights - especially fond of far right here: And now, back to the Dolphins new quarterback, having thrown the ball precisely when the portents aligned: Still a good bit of work to do on the Big Hat Dreamer, but an admirable start: Anyway - next update when these first 10 are all based and complete! I'll try and find the 5th Reaper for next update as well cuz she's a nice little kitbash based on a Scourge body. Cheers, The Good Doctor.

Dr. Clock Posted April 9 Author Share Posted April 9 Hoped to post earlier in the week, but it was not to be... Anyhow - first tranche is based! I forgot to track down that fifth Reaper, but hopefully next week. I'm trying to push through on this beauty for a game next weekend: It's definitely in a bit of an ugly phase, but it's going pretty quickly... despite the fact of needing to paint the sides in the blue tac. I also couldn't pass up the extra gubbinz in the kit so I bodged this together... it was a 'venom' from back before that kit was released. It was a secondhand rescue at the time so not ALL of the think paint is my fault. In fairness it was more than 10 years ago, and I still don't hate it enough to fully strip: Lance / EML ftw! Feels like it's gonna be even more spicy once its suppression rule stacks with cover : ) I'll post again when the Starfang is assembled. Cheers, The Good Doctor.

W.A.Rorie Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 It all looks great! Even the Rescued not Venom. It has a "it is still flyable and the airframe is solid. So let's add stuff to it and make it work." vibe too it.

Dr. Clock Posted April 12 Author Share Posted April 12 Tabletop readiness achieved! Lock S-foils in attack position! Kinda wanna revisit the racing stripes to add some additional interest by way of a wave motif, but likely going to move one with other things this week. The new one is obviously quite a bit larger than the old one, but I like the old one well enough after this bit of spit and polish. Thanks for looking! Cheers, The Good Doctor.

Dr. Clock Posted Saturday at 05:44 PM Author Share Posted Saturday at 05:44 PM Game with the army ytday let me grab this: I'm going to go back the to one on the left and bend it over to my Gold Skull Cult for sure. Also grabbed these of some other stuff in the army: Next Steps - The Voidblaze Kindred Planning on running guy in the middle as a Dragon Axe Exarch and then possibly even an Autarch there as well so they can actually crush something on a charge from time to time ; ) Cheers, The Good Doctor.
