Brushwork, Friday 13th July

Spent a bit of time at the desk today painting up some bits.

First off, a better shot of the commission Dark Eldar I’ve been working on – now that I’ve been able to finish off the first unit and their transport:

Next up, I decided to work on a few of my own models, first re-highlighting my Incubi and a unit of Reavers:

They were originally painted in Coal Black (a Privateer Press colour) and highlighted with a turquoise, but it never looked quite right. With the advent of GW’s new paint range, I picked up Kabalite and Sybarite green, which provided an awesome two-stage highlight which looks a hell of a lot better.

I also worked on my Court of the Archon, which I picked up for display purposes (Mrs Leeman has allowed me to put some of my miniatures in our action figure display cabinets!)

First up, the Archon himself – Kher’akan Zarak, The Eye-collector:
