Privateers

After the Splintered Fang I cracked out a quartet of corsairs and crossbow-aelves.
Lokhir Fellheart, the kraken-mask guy, is a cool concept but a somewhat poor execution in metal. The way his right leg sort of melts into his sea-dragon cloak is just dreadful. And the flash! Ugh! As you can also see, I put him on a 32mm base (a Fleetmaster should be on a 25mm base) because he has such a wide pose. It doesn’t matter much.
I look forward to getting my hands on the plastic Black Ark Fleetmaster kit so I can see how it compares.
The cloaks turned out particularly well:
It’s basically just Terradon Turquoise with some extra highlights. The interior is Fyreslayer Flesh, highlights and then… Druchii Violet? Something to add some purpley depth.
I also painted a Darkshard (repeater-crossbowman) to go with them:
After these I have a real hankering to finish up a unit each of Corsairs and Darkshards… and then maybe paint some more Cities of Sigmar aelves 
Here is the complete Darkling Covens warband:
All ready to land on Szargorond and find some treasure in the cursed city of Ulfenkarn! It’s not the most competitive warband, but it’ll do…
