Khymerae Substitute

The Dark Eldar Beastmaster unit has become a popular choice among players due to its hardiness, mass attacks, and relatively cheap cost. My unit contains 4 beastmasters, 6 razorwings, and 5 khymeraes. I've chosen to use the Flesh Hounds of Khorn instead of the actual Khymerae models and painted them in my purple and blue scheme. I wanted them to appear darker than normal so I left the majority of their flesh black or dark purple. Nevertheless, I made the highlights in light blue and white to maximize the contrast and reflect their mystical nature.

Ravager Battleship

The Ravager model is a simple modification of the Raider transport by adding two dark lances to each side. In the GW version, the center sail is insignificantly different. I wanted this ship to appear heavier and therefore added a second set of sails (as compared to my Raider model). This makes it stand out against the transports when combined with the whole army and I think it makes it look more like a battleship.
