Trueborn cloaks finished

The painstaking work on my 2 units of trueborns is finally complete. Tonight when I get home from work, I will prime them black.

Trueborns :)

So I'm taking part in a narrative campaign at my local gw this coming sunday and I'm frantically trying to paint up the rest of my 2000 points of dark eldar. First point of call is to finish sculpting the cloaks on my trueborns.
I decided to break them into 2 groups - 4 shardcarbines, 2 splinter cannons and the duke in a raider.
And secondly, 3 blasters and a dracon with a blast pistol in a venom.
I decided to do that because they both have a specific purpose and having them all in the one big deathstar was certainly an invitation for disaster.
I converted the dracon from a spare incubus.

And finally we have a sneak peak of my talos pain engine in progress.

Sculpting progress

Been doing some sculpting today. Duke Sliscus' flayed skin cloak is very nearly complete, maybe an extra patch of skin sewn on or maybe too. 2 trueborns with shardcarbines now have cloaks underway also.

It really surprised me how long it was taking to complete the fabric cloaks compared to Sliscus' cloak, especially considering the level of detail going into the stitches, a face and a few fingers. I was really having some trouble with the folds and contours in the cloaks.
Perhaps I'll start the trueborn's cloaks again and this time make them from 'a very rare leather'.

Black Guard, Trueborns and more

Work continues on the Black Guard. Yellow, I've decided was a bad choice for the cloaks. It takes so damn long per layer!

Here are those Dark Eldar Trueborns with Duke Sliscus I mentioned a while back. I went to sculpt the cloaks only to find that my greenstuff had fouled, so I had to buy some more. The paint scheme for these looks terrible, ergo I am repainting them once they're sculpted (obviously) to match the rest of the army. 

Here's a closer shot of the Duke himself, with the beginnings of his flayed skin toga which I sculpted from milliput. The rest of it will be with greenstuff. 

Also, this happened. I like it.
