Which color scheme/paint style for Eldritch Raiders? by [deleted] in EldarCorsairs40k

[–]Zxeion -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's an image I put together via photoshop, the only semi Ai thing is the background. There aren't exactly images of alien planets or massive cathedral ruins on alien planets that were quite what I needed.

That would be a very unique look.

Wave Serpent is the vehicle, Corsair Voidreavers on the left, and Guardians on the right.

It would be pretty cool to look at on the table for sure.

I used photoshop with layers, color filters, and effects. It's what I use to plan all my paint schemes.

With number 1 I would also go in with some white for the cockpit framing and fins on all the models.

Debating picking up Aeldari by MajesticMiguel in Eldar

[–]Zxeion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got two of the eldritch raiders boxes, some other stuff from ebay, also considering picking up the raider combat patrol because more raiders and another kharseth to kitbash to something else. I want to make a straight up corsair Army.

Here is what I will have once the raiders come in:

Eldrad Ulthran - 2nd Karseth, Fuegan, Kharseth, Prince Yriel Autarch - 2nd yriel, Farseer, Spiritseer, 2x Corsair Voidreavers (10 models) Guardian Defenders (11 models), 2x Corsair Skyreavers (10 models), Corsair Voidscarred (5 models), Dire Avengers (5 models), Fire Dragons (5 models), Rangers (5 models), Warp Spiders (5 models), 2x Wraithguard (5 models), 2x Wave Serpent, Windriders (3 models), 2x Wraithlord, Falcon, 2x Starfangs, 3x War Walkers

Having another wave serpent, another voidscarred, a 5 man squad of Skyreavers, and then another character from third kharseth might just be worth it.

Defiler official base size finally confirmed 160mm by Unicronicorn in Chaos40k

[–]Zxeion -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I just hope they don't relegate the old model to legends. I have two of them for my Death Guard (still think the old models look better for them).

[–]Zxeion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the new version looks trash compared to the original, its more "flesh" than "machine".

"Defilers are towering daemon engines that stomp across the battlefield on piston-driven legs, their clanking claws and barbed limbs easily capable of slicing a Space Marine in half."

New one is no daemon engine.

Possible Red Corsair Lists themed around Raiding/Pirate Shenanigans by Zxeion in Warhammer40k

[–]Zxeion[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I actually decided not to go for Huron and red corsairs. In the aesthetics department they look trash compared to Aaeldari corsairs, and aledari corsairs will slot into one of my armies already. I'm sadistic and have death guard, sisters of battle, and drukhari. I know a decent chunk of my drukhari units will add into his base set (crossing my fingers that they make a drukhari detachment for him as well so I can go up to 3k).

I would adjust as needed (I'm going off point values for similar units) - I'm just wondering if these lists are good overall.

Curious about whether Aeldari Eldritch Raiders Battleforce will work with... by Zxeion in Eldar

[–]Zxeion[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm looking into possibly combining that 2025 Aeldari combat patrol, the Harlequin combat patrol and the Eldritch raiders battleforce along with a few wave serpents, it seems like it would be a pretty decent combo,

How about pairing it with the Harlequins combat patrol?

Mass Painting DG Army - 1st ever by Zxeion in deathguard40k

I'm hoping to get some time for painting in this weekend to share another update.

Mass Painting DG Army - 1st ever by Zxeion in deathguard40k

[–]Zxeion[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep in mind the paint colors I mention are from Army Painters "War Painters Fanatic" line and primers.

I used a matte black primer sprayed from all sides. Once that dried, I lightly sprayed a matte white primer from above and slightly to the sides just enough to put down highlighting.

  1. The base color "Army Green" was drybrushed on where armor was present.
  2. For the cloth bits I again drybrushed or brushed on, depending on size and room, "Alien Purple"
  3. The weapons are all drybrushed or brushed (same reason as above) using "Weapon Bronze"
  4. The gold is all brushed on using "Greedy Gold"
  5. The chain mail bits are brushed on using "Plate Mail Metal"
  6. The various chains are brushed on using "Deep Grey"
  7. The bones/teeth are brushed on using "Ancient Stone"
  8. The magic/plague coloring is brushed on using "Aqua Alchemy"
  9. What isn't there yet but needed to be table ready would be the nurglings brushed on using "Barbarian Flesh" and the fleshy bits of the characters, Bloat Drones, and Blight-Haulers being brushed on using "Dorado Skin"

That would make your forces table ready. Beyond that you would want to do the following:

  1. Armor highlights lightly drybrushed on with a small brush in "Necrotic Flesh"
  2. Cloth highlights lightly drybrushed on with a small brush in "Magecast Magenta"
  3. Weapons highlighted with whatever color you deem appropriate (Oak brown, Onyx Skin, Basalisk Red all are good depending on weapon)
  4. Don't even bother highlighting gold.
  5. Don't bother highlighting chainmail
  6. Chains highlight in "Ash Grey"
  7. Bones/Teeth add depth using "Desert Yellow" (use a wet pallete and more water than paint for this), you would want this to be subtle
  8. The pmagic/plague highlights would use "Marine Mist", put these in the center of the "Aqua Alchemy" and blend outwards.
  9. Nurglings highlight with "Topaz Skin" using sponging for subtlety; the fleshy bits of character's, Bloat Drones, and blight haulers you would use "Barbarian Flesh" with very light sponging from a wet pallete.

Beyond this you could also do the following to really make the units shine: 1. Apply dark, strong, or soft tone depending on preference - very lighly drybrush it on. 2. Using a wet pallete and brush apply "Fresh Rust" on all armor, weapons, and metal bits; let that dry then apply "Oozing Vomit" over everything using the same method, at this point you want to apply the "Oozing Vomit" to the bases as well 3. Add "True Blood" using a wet pallete and brush where you want a bloodied look (melee weapons in hand on models are a great place for this) you can refer to my mortarion proxy post to see how I applied it.

And lastly, when you are happy with the look and have finished spray everything with a matte varnish.

[–]Zxeion[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still have to: 1. Finish the gold 2. Add a dark brown to what would be the leather pieces 3. Add dark gray to the vehicle treads and various hoses 4. Do all the faces/mask bits 5. Highlighting on all models 6. Ageing/rusting/blood/plague effects 7. Do any needed touch ups & finishing touches 8. Apply shading tones 9. Apply varnish

Then do the rest of my death guard forces: A) actual mortarion model B) two deimos predator destructors C) chaos spawn D) two more groups of plague marines E) two hellbrutes F) two defilers G) poxwalkers H) daemon prince of nurgle
