Webway portals are opening this weekend so we’re throwing it back to this must-see Dark Eldar 40k army dubbed Scorpion Gang by GMM!
Originally from 2019, we hope this amazing project inspires all the new Archons and Haemonculi commanders out there in the current era of 9th Edition.
GMM Scorpion Gang Dark Eldar Army Showcase
For the army, the client and I had a good long back and forth on specifics and taste. Starting with two different schemes and a writeup on each of what I thought optimal. And then taking one and running with it. Essentially the idea was a Dark Eldar desert theme, balancing those two to get a worn desert raider look.
All with the color and contrast often found in Dark Eldar armies. A little bit of Tatooine flavor and the Star Wars “used future” aesthetic draped over a core contrasting and vibrant Dark Eldar color scheme with colors chosen to fit a desert raiding party.
A group that, in the background, might never leave the planet, living on their skiffs, fighting in between other groups and pillaging shipwrecks and anyone who crash lands or attempts to colonize the planet.
A lot of fun both in execution and result. It was a treat working back and forth with the client tweaking ideas between the theme itself, color theory, and his own personal taste. In the end a result I am quite proud of, a good balance of color in variety, contrast, and theme. I certainly love set-palette armies, but it is a fun and different beast doing such a mixed color contingent. Both in the challenge of balancing each unit and each one also feeling new as I go through the roster.
Hope you enjoy, and thanks for looking. Next up will be the charity army for the Adepticon Raffle! See you then.
