Almost straight away I saw, on page 70 of the 2009 codex, an image of a Kabalite warrior painted in dark green armour, with red undersuit and a dash of orange, belonging to the Kabal of the Baleful Gaze and I settled immediately on that.

I bought the Urien Rakarth model on a whim, was surprised how much I liked it in real life, as opposed to on a screen, painted it and then went and bought a battleforce.Īfter Rakarth, I thought a lot about different colour schemes, and then bought the codex for inspiration.

However, after some time collecting some Space Wolves, the repetitive paint scheme started to bore me and I looked for a project with more diversity and variation. If you look closely, you’ll see a fair bit of dust on these! When the army was released, I was heavily into my Imperial Guard army, my initial reaction to the Raider model was negative and the release passed me by. I started my Dark Eldar army in September 2011. I assembled the other Scourge to look like they’re bouncing around, but with this squad, I’ve tried as far as possible to make them seem as if they’re steady and just blasting away at long range, which is how I envisage playing them.īy contrast, the following 5 Scourge were painted a few years ago, in the previous edition format, with 2 Haywire blasters. I paint blue drugs tubes and vials and try to create a sloshing free-surface level effect on the vials, which you can sort of see here.

These guys have black feathered wings, which I gave a streak of random pale blue too.

I free-handed some random runes on the wings, as well as a small Coven symbol on the back, which you can’t see. This was a change to my usual recipe for Dark Eldar flesh I’ve been experimenting a little recently, since the colours I used in 2011 are no longer available. I painted the wings with a bluish grey basecoat, and worked up to a flesh colour, with the intention of making them look wan and sickly, but it didn’t really work, and doesn’t hold up to close scrutiny.
