Send in the clowns : Skål's Leader month (1050 points)


Isn't it rich?
Are we a pair?
Me here at last on the ground,
You in mid-air,
Where are the clowns?

Another fun month. I may have had a little too much fun with the colors. It kinda looks like Rainbow Brit's drunk Gnome ex boyfriend vomited.


But anyway here is what I was up to this month.


I had an absolute blast painting up these murder clowns this month. The Venom (45pts) was a beautiful 3D print from AWS Hobby Shop. The print was super clean and reminded me so much of the original Venom from the Citadel Journal I figured I would get a few for my killer clowns.




I ended up painting a colorful black, red, orange, yellow gradient first and then cut triangles out of blue painters tape and did a green to purple gradient. I think the effect over all came out pretty good.

Next up was the Dark Eldar murder machine the Master of Blades, Drazhar (90pts).



The Solitare (140pts) for me has always been a sick looking model with their Kiss and crazy crystal structured looking Fusion Gun (?). 


Next up the High Warlock (360pts) with the crazy smooth mask looking all Cobra Commander with class. Such a fun model to paint and has the classic Wood elf vibe with the knee high boots.


This version of the High Avatar (195pts) always had the Joker vibe to me so I mad sure to add a hint of the purples to his color scheme.


I wanted to keep this model pretty plain in the front yes a little bit of party in the back all mullet style so I added the diamond pattern to the back of his coat.



The Warlock (220pts) was an easy choice as I really dug this model.



Overall the month was a low model count but it had a lot of color and a who lot of points for a leader month. I can't wait to get everything onto the table and see the entire army at one time.

High Avatar (195pts)
 High Warlock (360pts)
Solitare (140pts)
Warlock (220pts) 
Drazhar (90pts)
Venom (45pts)
Months total: 1050 pts

Don't you love farce?
My fault, I fear
I thought that you'd want what I want
Sorry, my dear!
But where are the clowns
Send in the clowns
Don't bother, they're here


Till next month
Skål

    Amazing job with your last batch. Love to see the glow effect coming from Drazhar's blades.

    Those are some serious airbrush skills on those gradients, or even more serious brush skills if you did it by hand. The patterns look as crisp and clean as the print on the venom - amazing! The murder clown command group is also a thing of beauty - bravo!

    Stunning paintjob on the Venom! Dazzling range of colours but it works really well - smooth gradient and very crisp rhombi. Love the High Warlock and the High Avatar's cloak. Great job!
