Title: Building a Dark Eldar Fleet
Post by: Alchemy on May 09, 2015, 08:28:17 PM

Hallo.
Just starting a Dark Eldar Fleet to challenge myself, no miniatures availables, only two models... I think it is and odd fleet  :) I saw in TMP that somebody did a very good job using WK40 Dark Eldar Jetbikes… so starting my story here… with Jetbikes as cruisers and Hellions as escorts.

As starting point, I want to create 4 cruisers and 12 escorts.

After looking for ideas, I decided to go first for the cruiser with launch bays. Jetbikes as they are looks "thin" in terms of hull, to to make a more bulky main hull, I glued two jetbikes main hull.

I like the result, as really looks like a hangar in the prow :) :)

Very cool, what kind of paint scheme are you thinking?

I'm doing some trials, the first one is leaving the black hull with dark blue strip pattern… still "work in progress".

Very nice.

Maybe some gradients on the blue flashes would look cool?

I know I should… but I'm so bad with color gradientes. I will make a try
