What is this silver helmet color? It looks awesome.
Molotow Chrome: geni.us/uzyiB
thx for asking
the same, the siler/chrome is really catching the light and attracting the eye
man such a great video this is top tier quality content@@Miniac
Came here to ask the same question. Awesome xenos filth you have there.
Huge upgrade on your previous scheme Scott. Very unique and thematic. Love the new desert dhrukari!
This video was fantastic. The scheme got a huge upshift, I loved seeing your methodology, and the sense of personal perspective as to why you were making them. Thanks for making this. Super high quality.
Dude these look soooo good. I can’t wait to see the future of this project!
These kinds of videos are honestly my favorite. I'm pretty new to the hobby so I don't even know what other kits and bits are out there. I can say though that I've put off building my Desolation Squad because I dislike the look so much, but I haven't figured out a way to change those guys yet. Hopefully over time I'll start to have a better spare bits collection to pull from...
Love seeing the fluid trouble-shooting and hunting out solutions for the conversion work. The focus pulls were a lot of fun too!
Happy to see you working on your Dark eldar again! Loved the conversions.
Scott. I've been following your podcast with Jon, trapped under plastic, and listened to how you feel like you've been in a bit of a views rut on the channel. This video feels like a return to why, I at least, started following you in the first place. This is a hit!
They look phenomenal, loved the chrome domes too 👌
Love the videography, with the range of shots and camera angles..Great stuff.
Dark Eldar were my first army ever after the range refresh (I think back in 4th or 5th ed). I was VERY thrilled with building them, the thinner bits were very easy to repose and mod. I found some similarly creepy models from other brands to kitbash with. I had no clue what I was doing or if the models I was making were even going to be legal to play. WYSIWIG be damned!!! I even converted an Eldar Wraithlord to the dark side, adding a bunch of spikes and chains. Come to find the Dark Eldar don't have their own version of a Wraithlord (dammit) but I played it as counting as a pain engine instead. Got my ass kicked a lot because back then it wasn't cool to teach the new guy how to play and everyone expected you to know the rules for every army in your head I guess??? Sadly I shelved my DE army and took a very long break away from 40K. Perhaps it is time to do a similar re-visit to my creepy little BDSM elves and re-learn their new rules and give them a new paint job.
Gorgeous, seamless results - that first model looks like what I'd expect from a 10e refresh of the whole Kabalite kit.
Scott, I f****** love this video on so many levels, I love your openness and honesty on your last work, I love your approach to your new work, this feels like a Miniac video from 2 ish years ago when I first found you and I feel your passion for the hobby again more than ever, and yes Scott, lastly, I love you!
Top 5 fave vids from you easily, incredible stuff! So satisfying to watch you kitbash, create a scheme, and execute, all in one video
Music choice was on point this video Scott! Gave it a Grim dark Firefly feel!
Brilliant work! The new color scheme is incredible and your insights into your creative process are really cool.
They look flipping good Scott!
You adapted and overcame, but a quick sculpting tip if you'll allow me, rub the tools on your nose! The oil on your nose is the perfect lubricant to stop the putty from sticking to your tools! And it's right there!
I have to say, this is one of your stronger videos. Well done. Pacing was solid
What is that chrome silver metallic paint used for the helmet visor?
Molotow Liquid Chrome: geni.us/uzyiB
Love the conversion work, the scheme, the videography, everything really, to the point where you now got me keen on D Eldar where I wasnt previously.
Seriously cathartic to see someone catalogue the journey from a project they weren't entirely happy with, to a place where that fire has been lit again 😊
Ahhhhhh its so good to have hobby content that isnt Leviathan finally! Was like I forgot the taste of fresh water, the sound of wind through the trees, or the smell of tendies cooking in the fryer 🥲
Those are some amazing conversions. Great to see you working on these guys again and thanks for sharing your progress with such high quality production value!
I hope you manage to realise your vision with this force and hopefully we'll get to share in that with you!
Was the speed paint you showed the shade for the armour panels? It made some really interesting shadows.
Boney Matter was applied with an airbrush for some general shading, and then I used some brown/yellow acrylic paint to paint in recess shades. I would do something simpler for an actual army scheme.
The knee-axe-wingdinger-things are actually also present on plate armour (though usually they look a tad different), they're for extra protection of the joint.
Damn, this how a peak painting video should look like! Kitbashing, paiting schemes, music, camera work, editing, interesting topic. I tip my hat Miniac.
In love with how your converted Drukhari look!
I admire the journey, and your commitment to this army after 2 years
Your army represents the hobby to me, exploring a space in the grim dark or fantasy universe and making it your own
great work Scott!
That paint scheme looks absolutely AWESOME.
I love the desert paint scheme you came up with there! I think I'm gonna try to copy it for this "combat patrol" box of Adeptus Mechanicus I just picked up.
Great sculpting, very careful and beautiful
It's kind of expected that my modeling skills would continue to improve from watching so many talented painters on UA-cam, but so have yours. These Desert Dhrukari conversions were scrupulously thought out and brilliantly executed. You nailed it.
Thank you!!
Nicely done, your sculpting really adds a lot and is a big improvement on the old dhrukari designs. I watched TUP yesterday and thought the domed helmet was some of the best NMM I've seen, but now I see it's actually a super reflective metallic. What is that, Molotov Chrome? The bounce lights and reflections are way beyond what I'm used to seeing from a metallic paint.
Molotow!
Those things on the side of knees is part of the poleyn. It's there to protect from blows to the knees. The little side wings make attacks ineffective unless their from the direct back.
I absolutely love the new scheme you came up with
The shared pain of trying ot paint an army is my favorite YT content. Thanks Miniac!
fantastic , ive never felt like Dhrukari matched their description , your conversions hit the theme spot on and the new scheme is dope
dark eldar have always been the mad max equivalent of eldar for me, i feel that their tech base should have that visible eldar lineage but more dangerous and scrappy
would it be possible to snip the existing warrior legs at the hip joints and repose them and fix or hide the seam ? ... ,could be a way to scale the project better
with 10th being very fun to play and having cleaned up rules, you picked a great time to get back on this project
id love to see more progress on this in future videos
Miniac hobby montage with sick jams playing; this feel like Scott has his inspiration flowing!
Sick scheme! I love the teal popping against the yellow. The khaki armour is also super cool!
"Maybe it's too big, but I think it works pretty well" - I wish I could say that too!
love the scheme and your thought process behind it. Keep up the good work sir
It looks very much like the paint scheme I painted a friend's Drukhari many years ago, love it.
The scheme is definitely desert dark eldar and I like the narrative around that. Really pleased you have something that fits the theme and that you like to paint. I have some old dark eldar still knocking around, inc asdrubael and the og lelith, plus a few kitbashed jetbikes. Never settled on a scheme tho and then drifted out of the hobby. Am back painting now and sculpting too, working up a white scar successor chapter (leopard themed). This video does give me some ideas to paint up my dark eldar old boys tho.... Keep up the inspiring work!
Awesome work, I typically have no interest in this army but the one you did with the round helm reloading the pistol looks so amazing! Would just be a cool mini to build/paint to have around.
Awesome conversions!
Sidenote: You turned me on to Splasher with the song in this video, so thanks for that they rock so hard.
I liked the editing of this video, nice!
I think a full army painted with that scheme would be dummy gorgeous on the tabletop or even to display.
Nice, I love the functional taupe…very much Dune vibes. And the splashes of teal and yellow heraldry are great. Keep that momentum up!
They've got serious Sardukar vibes!! Great scheme 👌
Really enjoyed this video man - love the new scheme and would really like to see more of your adventures into this army x
Oh man, listing the time for your scheme and how to improve on that, starts kitbashing a unique model. Love you Scott!
Top vid Scott. I could watch conversion and painting all day
Thank you so much! Every video about Drukhari is like a goblet of tears for the Archon ❤
Damn dude, you definitely went far and above to make your paint job and your army significantly yours.
Much respect.
i LOVE the look of the smooth silver helmet! guy-manuel de homem-christo has never been so intimidating
Incredible work. Glad to see you do something different with the DA poses.
Nick is a legend. Highly recommend mixing your milliput with apoxie sculpt.
That chrome dome is awesome!
…as a craftworld lover, I've never seen a drukhari scheme that I liked, but I like yours. They feel more like some Mad Max inspired corsairs though which might be exactly what you're going for.
have been looking forward to this video after hearing you talk about it on the podcase.
Jay from Aeons just did a little wee, he snuck in "Piratical" 😂
Totally agree with the drukhari helmets. Drukhari is my one and only, faction but I swapped all my kabalite helmets with heads w/ faces. That's really cool to go hard in the sculpting and modifying to the Corsairs to turn them more Drukhari, I kept mine as is.
Love the subtler color scheme that lets the yellow and blue draw in your eyes/attention. You may be able to find some references for pointy desert power armor in the new Dune movie during the armored desert combat visions if you're looking for inspiration.
Cant wait to see 3 blocks of 30 of these bad bois Scott! They look siiiiick
settttllleee doowwwnnnnn
@@Miniac horde army say whaaat?
I use Patroleum Jelly instead of lotion, more neutral and I also like to use it to lubricate various hobby tools while I am working and in a pinch it makes a passable Flux for soldering.
These look incredible! I love the little pops of yellow as a secondary colour. What is that chromatic paint you used for the visor?
Damn they look cool! Love the upgraded scheme!
And the conversions are too notch!
The middle chrome dome, gives saurdakar vibes.
This may have been one of the best, if not the best cut and filmed yutube video I have ever seen.
That's a very kind comment, means a lot
Wow dude that paint scheme looks amazing
This video was a really fun watch! Also really well structured. I really enjoyed it, thank you.
Very nice work with those Dark Eldar. Absolutely gorgeous.
But what was that Song during the painting montage? I need to know!
With this video starting out on: "I want to enjoy my dark eldar army, so I found a way to tediously kitbash 120 legs," I was honestly facepalming. Glad that turned around. the colour scheme is amazing and the Delf with the chrome dome looks so badass!
Thank you for this video! It's one of those posts that incredibly motivates and inspires me to keep going with my own projects!
Dig that Khaki and Yellow scheme! Nice Conversions
DAMNIT SCOTT .. I have a final to study for I don't have time for your fantastic videos! Why do you do this to me!!!!???
Love the work you've put into this. The results look great. Would be thrilled to see it on the other side of a table some day!
Wow, those conversions are awesome! Bravo! The paintjob is also amazing, I love custom colour scheme :)
i love the dark eldar; i saw it first release and i love the karbalite warriors. i am not sure i like the wracks or the witches, but karbalite are great. i sprayed my bone white. it been couple of years, i think next i will give it a wash of orange brown, then wipe most of the wash to give it a "dirty" and worn look..
Ive always felt this way about Tau. As a mech fan I've always wanted the army. But I hate their heads and legs. My solution is to kitbash with other ranges and repose them to look unique!
My Crisis suits have their hands in front of their chest which makes a hunchback look, they also have their chosen Drone hover where their head would have been with magnets! Super cool and I'm gonna keep making them look different!
ALSO! My lore is that they're mercenaries and each have their own custom suit so I can have the freedom of making them all look different and their own schemes!
Came for the clickbait, stayed for the sick conversions, nice work dude!
"I couldn't finish my 40k army because it took too long. So I decided to solve the problem by converting every single model with sculpting and custom bits, including troops!". Wow this person
That quote is incorrect. Wow this person
That model with the "daft punk/biker" helmet is fantastic! Really giving me some Sardaukar vibes. Great work as always Scott.
Bro that molotow chrome is killing it on the helmet, gives it a" one way mirrior visor" look instead of the typical metallic helmet you see others attempt. Also glad you showed your dissatisfaction with the original scheme, giving ppl the confidence to change the schemes if the originals just aren't vibing. Good stuff
It was really helpful to see your process!
Rockin', man. Big Respect. Thanks for painting more minis.
This truly is a work of love, these guys may have a common evolution from the planet Remulak. A race of Coneheads known to consume mass quantities of food and kill a six pack of beer in one short mass consumption lunch break. Awesome kit bashing very informative.
MORE KITBASH/CONVERSION CONTENT SCOTT
I think my biggest take away is to just have fun and do you. Whatever that may be. Maybe you like replicating box art or you have Dune on repeat in the background and the inspiration bug hits ya. This is a hobby that you devote your limited time and resources to. Make it worth it! Thanks Scott for always being your authentic self!
Great way to make a faction your own! Suggestion: I bit of saliva on the sculpting tool (similar to brush licking) prevents the Milliput or green/gray stuff from sticking to the tool.
When you were filing the knee, and it pinging out of your hands...
I feel from that one thing, you represent me now, lol.
Awesome stuff Scott - that scheme is beautiful! ❤
Its amazing how much a headswap really makes the Dark Eldar look less goofy.
agreed!
What an amazing video Scot! So good. Loved the badass country music there too.
Smashed this video mate, great to see some sculpting.
Great vid Scott. The auto caption called them Jakarii which kinda sounds awesome. Like desert jackal drukarii
They look great
Right on, great video sharing a new and interesting way to Dark eldar.
One of my favorite vids Scott. Your doing great man
Do you have a template that you test colors on? Also how'd you get that creamy sleek metallic on the visors?!
I just test on the models themselves and then repaint them later. Sometimes I'll do basic things on paper towel or my thumbs in the heat of it. The metallic was Molotow Chrome!
I concur whole-heartedly about the helmets. Love the playstyle. Love the lore. But those helmets, man! Basically the same with vanilla Eldar, too. "Hi! We're Beldar and Prymatt Conehead!"
That reflective metal visor helmet is just pure sexy.
What paint was used to get that effect?
@@cameronfotheringham6659I would also like to know! It looked so reflective !
Solid work, these dudes look really good. But damn, sculpting 50 or so legs must be one hell of a chore.
Thank you for sharing your experiences and opinions!
Fantastic video, and insight into your process right now. The new models blend in fine with the finished army. Are you going to leave them? Come back to them later, maybe? When coming back to a project I frequently wrestle with this subject. Even with test models, squad or complete units painted up. When you have the majority left to paint, and you genuinely dislike the original scheme, sometimes you have to bite the bullet.
On top of the color scheme change, you've decided to modify some of your models. Very cool results, and certainly personalizing your army is important. Thes are definitely speed bumps in getting to the table. I have a painted army and haven't played 10th yet! Good luck on getting the army to the table, you will really enjoy the satisfaction of playing with the cool af minis you spent all this time working on!
I think im going to try to rope in the previous 2 yellow schemes every now and then to make the whole army a mix.
Love me some heavy conversions! Very satisfying vid to watch😊
