Simply...amazing m8

Keep it up I love your work.
The only thing I don't like is the Hydra, or model you use for one.
Just a personal thing.

Other than that...it's awesome!

very cool

Durloth · Post by **Durloth** » Sat Feb 27, 2010 10:45 am

Great to see someone put so much work into such a large army! The free hand on the banners is great and the hydra is a wonderfull idea. If I didn`t have two already, I would certainly have nicked it:)

Dublindawg · Post by **Dublindawg** » Mon Mar 01, 2010 9:33 pm

Great color scheme that you used thoughout the army. I love the grey dragon cloaks and cold ones, I am getting ready to start painting my cold ones and I might try to duplicate that coloring.

Blaznak · Post by **Blaznak** » Mon Mar 01, 2010 10:26 pm

Fun stuff! I enjoyed the Cauldron the best, and the Hydra second best.

What are your harpies?

Malekith85 · Post by **Malekith85** » Tue Mar 02, 2010 5:13 pm

@ all: Thanks a lot!
@ Jebnus: I think 50% who like the hydra and the rest do not.
@ Durloth: And Durloth is one of the 50%

.
@ Dublindawg: Nice that you like the color scheme. I would like to see your just here in the forum

.
@ Blaznak:

What are your harpies?

Its a conversion with the old daemonettes and the current harpies wings.

Senluthan · Post by **Senluthan** » Tue Mar 02, 2010 5:48 pm

I really like you painting..

But the harpies looks too much like butterflies! and the shades as i see them dont have chain mail, that will make too much noice when they move and hinder there stealth.. About your hydra i like the model. but i would call it something else and take the stats for the hydra... but still - amazing to see!

Tribun · Post by **Tribun** » Tue Mar 02, 2010 6:42 pm

Thumbs up...coherent and clean army-sheme! I love the butterflies..err...harpies!

I love the Malekith conversion and the army has a good unified look on the table. My main criticism is that a lot of your runes and icons aren't as clean as they could be. I suspect you are apply the paint a bit too thick straight out of the pot. Also, you should do them in two or more coats to make sure you get good coverage since you are painting light colors over black in most cases.

Again, that is the only thing I would pick up on, and it's not even a problem, but the harpy wings do look a little small.

Having said that, the overall look of the army is brilliant, it's always lovely to see this much painted well

Sorry that I answer only now, but I had a shoulder op behind me. For this reason, I will need to insert a break for the next two months.
@ Senluthan: Thanks, but I like my harpies

! I think I make some new shades but I have this since the beginning of the 6. edition.
@ Tribun: Thanks!
@ Dyvim Tvar: The problem is that I make this army over a long time and my skills are much better now and I don't like to remake some part of my army.
@ FaeLi-N: Thanks and again I like my harpies

.

Durloth · Post by **Durloth** » Sat Mar 20, 2010 8:58 am

Sorry about the shoulder. Looking through your gallery again I started wondering about your manticore. Isn`t it really hard to transport and on the table top with those gigantic blood thirster wings?

Swedenpack · Post by **Swedenpack** » Tue Mar 23, 2010 12:28 am

I like the fact that u have used Malus helmet for the cok champ, I myself think its the best DE cavalry armor ever sculpted. Much better than the samurai or the silly plastic ones. Without sounding too geeky it reminds me of the description of Saurons helmet in LotR long-faced dead horse with big hollow eyes. it looks scary and the line in the middle is just grand.

I use the helm for my 5 knights and it works grand. Still a work in progress thou. Ill post pics if someone asks me.

nice army and interesting conversions all in all, keep it up!

Leonates80 · Post by **Leonates80** » Tue Mar 23, 2010 11:15 am

Well overally looks good - I would try to bring some datails though - maybe some black lining here and there? While it looks stunning from the distance when you give it a closer look it`s so-so TTQ. While you don`t have to redo the whole thing , cleaning it up will give them a real polish they need.
PS I like the cult of slaanesh theme you have there....

Post by **cultofkhaine** » Sun Mar 28, 2010 1:58 pm

Thats quite an army you have gathered there - congrats on getting through the many hours painting it. I like the concept behind the hyrda... something different. I also like the sword you have on your cold one champion. One thing I think you should consider is using a couple of more spot highlights or dark washes.. it might just be the photographs but some of the solid fill colours in my opion look to flat and don't have enought depth to them. Over all a great army ... I wish I could get that many of mine finished and on the table.

Saori_nightstar · Post by **Saori_nightstar** » Sun Apr 04, 2010 6:36 pm

amazing look to ur army, realli good work. The paint gives an almost chalky look to your models, maybe its the colour pallet you have used?
Very Detailed!

Malekith85 · Post by **Malekith85** » Thu Apr 08, 2010 7:07 am

Thanks!
@ SwedenPack: Do you have some pics of your knights?
@ leonates80: I will do this but at the moment I don't have the time.
@ cultofkhaine: Also here if I have the time I will redo something.
@ Saori_Nightstar: I used codex grey, white, black, two different purples and the metal colors primary.
