Grotesques Complete

I finished the grotesques.  I like how these came out.  I need to make an agonizer for the aberration, and I need a better photo setup. 

Some Dark Eldar Painting Progress

So I have been finishing a lot of models lately.  Here are some pics.

Custom cronos

Drazhar

Medusa

Sslyth

Super easy custom Medusa

Easy SSlyth Conversion

Ever since the dark eldar were updated, I have wanted a squad of these guys.  I love the thought of four armed, snake-men.  I like the finecast model, but monopose for a unit of over 2 doesn't work for me.  I built these from original metal tyranid ravener bodies.  I cut off most of the large tail blade they have.  I also trimmed the width of the top of the ravener snakey tail, where I glued the first set of arms, to fit with the width of the dark eldar waists.  The metal was nice to work with, because I was able to bend the tails around to give each one some of its own character.  You will recognize other bits from dark eldar warriors, shard carbines from the scourge kit, dark elf weapons, harlequin weapons, wyche weapons, hellions and even a sword from the shining spears kit.  

Dark Eldar Aberration with Scissor hand WIP

I decided my aberration needed a new scissor hand, and I need to finish the paint job on this squad once and for all.

I used the end of the raider horizontal sail arm, and a vambrace blade off of the dark eldar warrior sprue.  I bent the end of the blade to hook down.  The hand is from a tyranid warrior, with the thumb cut off. 

 I was really trying to copy the awesome scissor hand on the wrack sprue.

 The squad almost finished.  Still a little work to go.

WIP Dark eldar Grotesque Unit

Here is a pic of my progress on the Grotesque squad.  I've since added some orange, and some Nihilakh wash on the copper.  I hope you like them.

 The abberation is missing his magnetized left arm.  He had a Ichor injector which I was using as a scissorhand.  My corpse thief claw formation stole the Ichor injector.  I need to make a new scissorhand.

 Real fish hooks.  Careful moving him.
