Dark Eldar Webway Portals and Status Markers from Silver Compass Designs
For the Dark Eldar set I had a blast. Working with Silver Compass Designs - Precision Lasered Gaming Gear I was able to design every piece and started with Web-Way Portals! I've always wanted something decent to represent the portal especially since using regular blast markers ran the risk of them being accidentally picked up or moved during the game.
These have the Rune for my Blood Rain Kabal and a nice retro sci-fi swirl pattern.
The three part pain tokens are a cool idea. Here I've color coded them to make it easier to pick out the correct pieces to make the complete pain token. These are a regular production item but they replaced the evil demon face with my Kabal Rune for no additional cost.
After the long Ork status marker project I opted for a less fidgety approach for the Dark Eldar. These look great and only took about a quarter of the work time the Ork set took. For the Ork counters I did a two tone, comic book style paint scheme. For the Dark Eldar I used a single color inside each cut. Looks very clean and, since there are still several cuts per counter they are very colorful.
The finished set complete with a Bag from Marsbarn. This is a Celtic Knot bag that I'd intended to use for Wood-Elf accessories so I'll likely have another bag made up featuring the Kabal Rune. It may not look like it but there are 201 counters in this set... all stacked very precisely!
The vehicle status markers are all shaped to drop onto the sideboard of the old style dalk eldar raider... OOPS! They'll still work just fine set beside the new vehicles. I briefly thought about having them cut with some sort of loop to hang them from the vehicles but that pretty quickly got moved to the idea of FAIL pile.
This is how the set arrived. Looks pretty cool even before its painted!
