Alai Mercenaries

[Ramses135]

Painted JUST ANOTHER guardian (which is kinda boring, I'll show the entire squad, when the time comes), but I also painted first of my Proto-Avenger models. I own 7 more...

Regular Dire Avenger just for comparison.

 

[Ramses135]

Which reminds me. Here are my Dire Avengers.

Very tasty. Lovely sharp edges.

The pastels and the smooth taken to almost white highlights certainly give them all a lovely older vibe. Beautiful work.

From you, sir, I take it as a great compliment! Your work is astounding.

That's very kind... but smooth 40k armour is not my strong suit!

 

[symphonicpoet]

Lovely looking stuff! I'm need to get a bit more work done on my elves. Your are looking quite lovely.

 

[Ramses135]

I fear that I'm getting tired and sloppy. I can see so many mistakes now, on the photos... When I finish the second squad (now it's 16 Guardians painted, so 4 more to go), I'll carefully revisit each and every model yet again.

 

[twisted moon]

lovely.

 

[Ramses135]

OK, I am done with the cult. Hopefully, I'll get back to some Eldar soon.

 

[Ramses135]

Although, I might have a small side project before me now...

 

[twisted moon]

as i've said on the discords, lovely work on that cult.
look forward to what you do with the dragonlisk.

 

[ManicMan]

I must admit, the open mouth of the box art looks better then the closed mouth of the mini ^_^

Yeah, as you are active on two same channels as myself, you see it for the third time, heh.

I actually prefer the closed mouth. For such a lower (and somewhat stupid) dragonkin, it looks surprisingly regal and elegant.

Just can't decide about the paint scheme.

Original fluff states, that dracolisks (or, as they were known, dragonlisks) are always mix of black dragons and basilisks and that they are brown.

In D&D 5e, they could originate from any evil dragon and could have greater color variety.

Still, I like the black dragon heritage, but I'm kinda leaning to painting him black, not brown...

 

[Ramses135]

And with the speed of a growing glacier, I did some work on my oldschool Eldar.

Due to a 2e game happening this Sunday!

 

[batu]

Oh Oh wonderful Eldar. I have to paint mine at some point. Can't wait to see more of yours though!

 

[Ramses135]

Strange thing, how motivating can a game be. Finished the squad.

 

[twisted moon]

nice work again.
