Right, so a bit of a change in plans. They've been stripped, and now need to be re-primed and then finished.

So my entry for the elite competition will be a squad of Dark Eldar Incubi.

True that! And not having faces and exposed lesh, they should be a bit easier to finish up.

I feel bad enough not getting my campaign ribbon last month!

Made some more progress today, did intend to do the chipping today (still might) but the unit colours are on at least. Still waiting to receive my club spade shape stencil for the blue shoulder pads (haven't decided what to have on the right) Plan is to tidy the blue up, add the white chipping on the blue, undercoat chipping for the rest of the plate and then finally the white highlights.

Need some input, you may notice that some of the heads are missing that's because I'll be using beret heads from the scion kit, there berets will be blue with a yellow eagle (similar to VDV) anyways I was considering replicating this pattern for the helmets but I think it'll be blue overkill, what do you guys think?
Please excuse my chaotic spelling and grammar, I am Dyslexic, to my friends that means I am retarded and should always wear my water wings and helmet.

Smoke me a kipper i'll be back for breakfast

@Jay, IMHO, I don't think it would be blue overkill, the pattern on the sample helmet only has a small amount of blue. I think it will look great!

Don't panic!!! This means 3 days for anyone else to enter the contest or for any current entrants to change their entry.

The deadline for finished, completed entries uploaded to the gallery isn't till the 27th of June.

Just wanted to clarify.
