(Rank and File #2)
Reinforcements arriving! Warp Spiders from the Black Widow shrine. Seriously, this exarch is one of those beautiful and incredibly technical and time consuming figures. And I have 2 more exarchs slated for next month...
This is the first of the squads of Warp Spiders I am doing, in black and bone with red as an accent color. I seriously question the color choices of the designers here, and took some liberties with the traditional look, mostly downplaying that red. Unfortunately, the models don't vary much, but the rank and file Warp Spiders are fairly easy to paint, so I am happy. Except for the gems. I counted 46 on each model. Really. 46.
And the last five scouts of the Brown Recluse squad I did 10 of last month- 3 of one sculpt and 2 of another. I think I like the hoodless sculpts best of all, I think they came out great!
5 Brown Recluse scouts- 115 pts
Black Widow shrine
4 Warp Spiders 164 pts
Warp Spider Exarch 50 pts
total 329 pts
A colourful bunch, particularly like how you've tied them together with the touches of blue.
ReplyDeleteLive the amount of colours you are getting into this force while still making it feel coherent.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about the spider models, I always really liked the exarch model but the rank and file spiders less so.
Well at least your getting some practice in painting gems 🙂. Great looking paint scheme on the spiders but I love the scouts.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of gems!!
ReplyDeleteThey look cracking - you've come up with a great colour scheme for the spiders
Nice spiders (and music reference...) I like the color palettes on both the spiders and the scouts. The runes on the back/carapace.
ReplyDeleteTeam Eldar!
I think all my headers have been from music, LOL! Adam has that habit too, I it seems. Thank you!
DeleteNice details on the back of those Warp Spider jump generators. Go team Eldar!!!
ReplyDeleteIt is not common to see non-reddish warp spiders, indeed. Your colours fit perfectly, awesome squad.
ReplyDeleteGo team eldar!
I remember the Warp Spiders coming out back in the 90's and thinking that they were a bit daft compared to the established Aspect Warriors. Must have been more to do with the garish red paint scheme they insisted on at the time, which, like you say, was not very flattering. I much prefer your more restrained colour scheme - still plenty of colour there too with all those gems though - nice work!
ReplyDeleteYour second batch of Scouts look brilliant too - love that crouching mini!
