Painting the Third Scourge Part 6

Last weekend's bank holiday gave me the opportunity to settle down and get some serious painting time to myself. As a result I've finished painting the body for my third Scourge.
I'm relieved to have painted the last bit of the brown under suit on this mini as I've had nothing but grief blending the colour this time around. I'm pleased with the result but I didn't have a happy time getting there! Once the arms were finished I moved on to the spear and from then on it all went a lot more smoothly, both literally and figuratively. I really got back into the swing of things and thourougly enjoyed the painting experience. It feels good to have finished this stage of the mini on a positive note after my earlier struggles.


Next I'm going to stipple another pair of wings and when they're done I can finally start to put the Dark Eldar diorama together.

  1. I hope to see your finished Diorama at one of the GDs this year (GD UK?).

    And whoever wants to snatch that Sword from you has his or her work cut out ^^

    1. No pressure over winning then!!!
      I'm well on target for the GDs this year so yes (if all goes to plan) I'll be taking the diorama to the UK GD.
      But I don't think I'll be counting any swords before they're forged, so to speak.

  3. That's just really beautiful. I always look forward to your updates. OI have a question, are the vials done? They seem a bit less finished than the rest of the piece.

    1. Hi Zab & thanks,
      I thought the vials were done! Although now you point it out...
      I'll wait until the wings are painted and fixed in place then I'll review the mini as a whole.
