Oh, it's a Dark Eldar vs Sisters Battlebox with the Lilith NO ONE saw coming.

Guard Executioner. Honestly kinda happy with how the Plasma turned out. Not super impressive, but decent.

Not bad! A few easy advice:
-The front sections of the plasma guns can use a different metal colour.
-There is some yellow on the tracks.
-The rivets can be grey gunmetal.

These are the ones I use because I'm horribad at drybushing or highlights.

As you can see its not much but helps without it being super hard to do.

Nice. And I have sorta done the different plasma gun colors on my commissar (see below.) but I don't have a proper brass/gold color, so I have to mix my Yellow and lead paints. Might get some next time I go shopping. The rivets I'm indifferent on, though I might go back and do them if I have the time.

Doesn't have to be gold. I use brass but can be any colour, even a different shade of metallic silver. Some of the guides have the gun painted in a non metallic colour and just the front part as a schorched metal. It is just a relatively easy detail to add, since its a big part of the model that you can paint without the need for much finer motor skills and it still looks decent.

On my later models I try to add blue glow to the tiny vents on the sides but its hard, you can easily just use a wash and make them look darker and that's another good detail.
 
Just wanted to say that I'm getting really sick of the preview shit. Like this preview was real fucking light. We have literally known about lilith for a year+ and we saw the sob lieutenant months ago.
Also why are they trying to pitch lilith as a drukari when she is supposed to be a ynari? Don't even get me started on her fucking face.

Probably because Wyches like Lelith are the faces of the Dark Eldar.

When people think "Ynnari", they think of Yvraine with her weird headtail. When they think "Drukhari", especially succubi, they're going to think of Lelith with the bone-spikes in her ponytail and the lack of clothing.

That's my impression at least.

Lelith is only in support of the Ynnari for her own sake. Accord to the Lexicanium, it is so that she can capture Lucius the Eternal and permanently kill him to create the greatest duel in Commorragh. There is also a Commorrite politics aspect to take into account. Lelith's Cult of Strife has strong ties to Vect's Kabal of the Black Heart. Vect, who has essentially declared himself to be a god, as a living dark muse, has also declared for complete extermination of the Ynnari in Commorragh. If Lelith took the Ynnari red, she may be condemning her followers to a civil war with Vect. One which she will undoutbably lose.
 
AoS is getting dedicated Slaangors, not just in Underworlds. Getting kidnapped was the best thing to happen to Slaanesh, he's even getting a new BT (ahead of Nurgle, who really needs one). Actually, I'm thinking there might be an Emperor's Children Codex on the horizon if Slaangors are going to be a thing now.
 
You know. There is a weird powerleveling going on with the blood angels. Like yea the lamentors are a meme at this point. But the blood angels as a whole have almost been eradicated a decent amount of times. But at this point I'm pretty sure they are the most psychicly mighty loyalist geneseed outside of the fucking grey knights. But that doesn't really show outside of them having librarian dreads. But in the newest blood angel book. Mephiston throws his soul straight into the maledictum to lead the blood angels fleet through, and he a LITERAL dragon ball z fight with the thousands of lesser daemons floating around out there. He was also fucking slapping around a fucking keeper of secrets like a bitch who didn't have his money till he got a headache. Really strange. I get they've been fighting Tyranids forever at this point, and they aren't great to show your psyker power on. But still.

Even sanguinius himself. The build him up as the king of all trades but an ace at none in the wider lore. But he dabs on ka'bunder like a joke and pretty much one shots a warhound titan. Like the lion and Russ couldn't do that, but they are known as the most martially adept primarchs? What's going on here?

The Blood Angels seem to have a case of resilience. Even during the Great Crusade, Blood Angels would suffer heavy losses, only to survive and replenish their numbers for the next brutal warzone. It is more of a psychic imprint on the Legion rather than a power. It might come from Sanginius dealing with the duality of his nature; noble warrior and savage combatant, superhuman but mutant. And it often seems that the Blood Angels follow that precipice with those who remain noble and suffer (Lamenters) or those who relish in their dark nature and are viewed with scorn (Flesh Tearers). Fuck, this is making me want to build a Blood Angels army.
 
Even on the table top, the Blood Angel received a trait similar to Disgusting Resilience (actually its better than DR, surprisingly).

Thats all well and good. Ive been a blood angels fan for more then a decade at this point. What I'm really saying is that the blood angels have all these aspects to them that arent really brought up. Like most people dont even know that if a blood angel is alive in black rage mode long enough, they turn into a giant bat monster. Like its always a pretty surface look at their duality. Sure them finally adding the black sanguinor to the mix is something, I just hope we get something else that isnt a fucking tyranid fight or Mephiston being goku.
