Dire Avenger Group Shot...

It certainly has been a day! Navin from PaintedFigs.com just got back to me with this group shot of (66/70) Dire Avengers - that is not an insignificant amount of Shuriken firepower ;)

The remaining 30 will be shipped over towards the end of the first batch being done, for a full 100 in total. Very happy with the way these turned out, i'm sure they will look sexy as hell next to their dedicated Wave Serpents on the battlefield!

EDIT: Now I have a few individual shots to share :)

Seven Exarchs (of Ten);

Regular Dire Avengers, front and back;

... Dire Avenger Sample...

Ok, so I had approved this little sucker three weeks ago, however with all the shenanigans (and the fact I had the previous version on here), I forgot to put it up! Bad Dave.

So here is the final sample in all its glory, which Navin has mentioned is being stamped out en mass. Seventy of these little buggers are being painted up right now, with another 30 to be sent over in the near future. Each has their own Wave Serpent I might add, just so no one feels left out when lapping with the lads.

Stay tuned for the group shots in the coming weeks :D

Next up? Well it's either Shining Spears or Swooping Hawks... place your bets now ladies and gentlemen!

... WIP Updates ahoy!...

Well things have been a little slow this last week (work being work and a media server crapping itself during a rebuild to blame), so I thought i'd post an update.

I have updates from 3/4 commissioned artists, each are WIP, so please understand they're not the finished products :)

First up, Vincent (aka Duskfrost) with Farseer number 3 of 20 aka the Frostseer. Each Farseer will have different elements painted on their respective cloak (with the exception of the Whiteseer, that will be something else entirely);

 

Meanwhile, Navin over at Paintedfigs.com has had his lads working on the Dire Avenger concept - the first he admitted was a bit rushed just to see if the colours would work, the rest will be a bit tidier, but i'm loving the theme starting to really come out in the army now;

And last but not least, an update on the Jetbike Warlocks and Shining Spears from Luke & Adam at The Sound of Machines! There are one or two bits left to go (a blue energy stripe down each side of the length on the canopy). I've not seen the finished Spirit Seers yet, however they were much the same as previous Warlocks, so i'll leave them up to your imagination;

And a group shot just for good measure ;)

 More goodies to come in the next few weeks!

... Prototype Jetbikes enroute...

I've just had confirmation that the Prototype Jetbikes are enroute to be painted en-mass. So whilst I await the Dire Avenger test sample (to approve mass painting of the little buggers), these guys will shortly follow up - after the Swooping Hawks and GW Shining Spears are also sorted out.

Thankfully, with Finnan's (from Dakkadakka) blessing, I was able to pinch his colour scheme used - as it uses the same palette currently in effect. Credit of the images below goes to Finnan of course ;)

In short, imagine the following, except with blue/green gems, bone coloured shuriken catapults and a tiger striped pattern on the canopy;
