Bonereaper Challenge

I proudly present you my contribution for the very cool Bonereaper Challenge from Between the Bolter and Me. This challenge was the perfect opportunity to add a new model to my Drukhari Army. A model I hadn't thought of without this challenge - another Haemonculus.

I have looked forward to this project since I first heard of it. Adam Wier did such a fantastic job with his conversion. Masterclass sculpting and I love how otherworldly his Eldar looks. A tall and slender Xenos, just pure awesomeness! Inspired by this I was aiming to get something similar but that hasn't worked well.

After I opend the box of the Bonereaper Mortek Guard my first thought was: 'Damn, these are tiny and so delicate!'. I cutted two models into pieces and tried to combine various bits with different arms and leg parts of all different kits like eldar or tyranids. Due to the fact that my green stuff skills are rather awkward, I started to rethink the possibilitys that this bonereaper kit offered for my style of converting. The head was the first thing I was sure about. Upper half mortek guard and the lower half is a modified head from the Drukhari Helions. I contiued to play around with combinations of bits and finally had a new plan.   

After I had found a good starting point I tried to get the Bonereaper bitz into the game. They were used for the Head, the belly middelpart with loincloth, on his back and for the upper arms. I also used some stuff similar to my other models to get a coherent look. I used the whips of the Daughters of Khaine and added blades and an injector. Inspired by the Codex artwork I created a strange drukhari artifact, which hovers in his hand. A few more details like chains and spikes and I was done and really pleased with the result. The paintjob was done in the same way as on my other Drukhari and was a lot of fun.

 Thank you very much for your interest and I hope you enjoy this model as much as I do. Stay tuned!

Duke Sliscus and some reinforcements

In the last weeks I finished some reinforcments for my growing Drukhari force.

The first thing I created was Talos Pain Engine. It's a very similar kitbash to my Cronos and the main difference is just the weapon loadout.

Inspired by the Codex and some artworks, I also wanted to start my Wych-Cult. The first units should be some standard Wyches, which are one of the coolest Dark Eldar for me. The Idea was simply a more *cough*naked*cough* dynamic look. And the Daughters of Khaine Witches should serve as a perfect match for my vision, The Kitbash turned out really simple - upper half drukhari, lower half witches and a bit green stuff to correct the transition on there bellys. I'm looking forward to do some more of them soon.

The latest addition was an Archon. I thought a long time about the look of my archon and how I would bring it to life. I had a lot of struggle to find the right bits and create something I was happy with. But fortunatly something really cool happend and I had this Archon on my table:

You may think you have seen this model before - and you are totally right. This model was converted by Adam Wier, back in 2014. It is such a lovely conversion, just look at the small additions to the armour or pistol and the trigger finger. I hope my paintjob does the model justice!
Duke Sliscus and his Trueborn retinue always inspired me, since I first saw them. They actually inspired me to build my Aeldari Corsairs earlier this year. And now they are displayed next to each other. I'm so proud to add Duke Sliscus to my army and I'm really looking forward to let him lead some raids soon! Thank you for this amazing gift!

Stay tuned and thank you very much for your visit!

Coven of the Pallid Sun

Stay tuned and thank you very much for your visit! 

I finished another unit for my Dark Eldar army. The latest addition is a unit of three Grotesques. These should appear like the link between my Wracks and the Cronos. My Lady Haemonculus has her very own style as a flesh-twisting artist and I want to show that in my, ehm her creations.

The models are based on a Genestealer torso, which were placed on legs of the Dark Elfs from Blood Bowl. The legs were extended with Wraith-Guard legs. A Scourges back was placed on the shoulders and a Reiver-grav-thing was also placed on the back. The armour which was created this way got it's full effect from the paintjob. The slightly converted heads are from the Wraith-Guards and I really love that Xenomorph-like shape!

Stay tuned and thank you very much for your visit

Ready for the first raid!

I'm working like a manianc on my first small army, so here is a quick update. I reached approx. 450 - 500 points and this is a really satisfying project so far.

My latest addition to this force are two Venoms. I really like their stealth-bomber-like appearance. These are the most out of the box models I've done so far. The only thing I have changed are the crew's heads.

I have a few plans what I want to add to my coven, so stay tuned and thank you very much for your visit! Best regards!
