| Wow, that is certainly some of the coolest freehand that I have ever seen on a 40k model, and may I say it is one of my new favourite DE models anybody has painted, ever.
If you want more inspiration for weird and slightly messed up images for freehand I would suggest looking at H.R.Giger concept sketches for Alien. They're so dark and brutal that they would fit perfectly in your army! | |

| Thank you.
@Cavash: I thought about doing something Giger:ish, so I'll definately look into that. Thanks for the tip! | |

| A raider with splinter racks completed.   For some reason it was quite hard to get good photos of it. And a closeup of the freehand.  The actual rose did not turn out that well, but I'm really happy with the image as a whole. | |

| I couldn't do that drawing or painting on a canvas let alone on some tiny raider! That is sheer amazingness embodied. You should be eternally proud. _________________ Darkness falls across the land, the midnight hour is close at hand, creatures crawl in search of blood, to terrorize y'alls neighbourhood.

AWESOME work on these DE, you have given me a TON of ideas of my own army. I have 30 hellions (Love me some hellions!) and I have been searching for ideas on board markings/designs for a LONG time.
Thanks for the inspiration! | |

| Dang, those freehands are (as might have been told already, but still) great. Actually gives me some feeling of the old Castlevania games... Flames are always pleasant. | |

| After a short break from painting DE I am back again. This time with another Ravager!  For some reason the shading on the skull and rose does not show up at all on the photo, but it is there in reality.   And a closeup of the freehand on the sail:  I was a bit worried about this one when I started. Would I be able to make it look like an eye when I could not paint a pupil? And the fact that the eyebrow would be almost completely covered did not make it easier. But in the end it turned out much better then I had hoped. | |

| As always, brilliant freehand work! And is that a White Lion's shoulderpad I spy there on the front? It certainly seems to be the newest fashion around these parts! _________________ Siticus Empyrean Vision - my Facebook page with various painting projects Siticus' Empyrean Visions log - the project log for my Aeldari works and beyond | |

| Thanks everybody!
And that is indeed a White lion shoulderpad. I use it to represent Night shields. Som kind of shadowy creature on a somewhat shield-like bakground. I figured the Dark eldar would craft their shield generators into something stylish. | |

| I really like how you've painted the klaives; looks like they're made from extra-planar crystal or some such. _________________ Taming the shadows with questionable wit.

| Oh yes, now those are AP2 klaives! They look downright brutal and ready to make mockery of any armor with their sweeping strikes! I quite like the bone-like helmets as well. _________________ Siticus Empyrean Vision - my Facebook page with various painting projects Siticus' Empyrean Visions log - the project log for my Aeldari works and beyond | |
