Shadows of Commorragh - part 7

Far above the glinting metallic peaks of Commorragh are the Ilmaea, or "black suns," dying stars ablaze with poisoned light that were harnessed at the height of the lost Eldar Empire. Though held in sub-realms of their own, these celestial phenomena provide a near-endless supply of energy to the Dark City. Their twilight hues glint from the hulls of grav-vehicles that swarm from spire to tower, from arena to battleground. Every now and then, a thin solar flare curls from a captive sun out into Commorragh, briefly illuminating the horrors below. Each such flare is reflected from a billion panes of crystal across the Dark City, and yet it will be barely heeded by the teeming citizens, for they know that the suns' claws were blunted long ago. Though a few solar cults still exist in Commorragh, most Dark Eldar view their tame stars with contempt; to them, they are but another resource to be mercilessly exploited. It is said that no starlight can shine upon the Dark Eldar without being harnessed, bled away and eventually snuffed out altogether.

Five more Drukhari completed for the Shadows of Commorragh campaign! (And a bit of moody photography)











The Kill Team so far, with the small scenery pice I made as a "middle-ground" backdrop for photography, and a couple of objective markers.


Ozuruin (Civilian / NPC / Beastmaster?)
Wildwood Ranger with female Dark Rider head and Wych arms.


Lakbyrn (one of the Parched)
Cairn Wraith / Wych kitbash with a Wildwood Ranger open right hand



Arzomar (Kabalite)
Pretty much just a normal Kabalite with a Blaster, but with a Wych's head.



Tagather (Wych)
Dark Elf Blood Bowl witch Elf with Wych hands.





Morghdrax (Succubus / Wych Cult Hekatrix)
Tenebrael Shard (from WHQ Silver Tower) with a Wych Splinter pistol and an Archon's sword.



Some more group shots.



I really need to get on with making scenery now!

  1. Slaanesh have mercy! They look lush.
    I like them all but Lakbyrn looks so wonderfully menacing, he has to be my favourite. Great work fella.

  3. The pics with the scenic lighting are the real stars of the post. Just fantastic!

    I'm not sure if it's just that I'm more used to the sculpt or that the paint job helped it, but Morghdrax's pose looks much better painted.

    I don't actually care about the answer, but Tagather makes me think "Which Witch Elf went with which Wych weapons?" Try saying that ten times fast! ;)

    1. Thanks WestRider - I've been wanting to do some proper lighting since seeing Curis's work on Ninjabread!

      Either way I'm glad you like him now!

      Which Wych weapons would we watch Witches wield?
