Neither the prices nor the looks of these guys bode well for new DE platics I'm afraid....glad I stocked up on 5th-6th edition minis

But the question remains Scott, what would your wife's reaction be if you bought those clothing items for her ?

I'm looking for suggestions for the shield devices as well as something for the banners. Also considering adding snow to the bases...thoughts ?

I'm sure you could always buy a pair of those leggings for YOUR wife, think she would be suspicious as to why?

Seems like we have similar ideas...I have 4 units of corsairs already painted and based, the bases are made from walnut stripping glued up and laquered for deck planking. Just finishing up 2 reapers and crew as well as 3 sorceresses on foot to go on similar bases. The eventual plan being to have the...

What would you want for just the Black Guard and COK ?

Preferably unprimed/painted

6th Ed. Black Guard
6th Ed. COK (knights without cold ones)
6th Ed. Daemonettes
6th Ed. Fury wings


Let me know what you have and what you want and we can work something out.

Black Guard
Daemonettes (metal?)
COK (metal?)

Let me know and we can discuss prices

Just came across this thread.... Good luck to you and your new adventure, I would point out that the sculptor of some of the best dark elves, Chris Fitzpatrick lives in that area and bases Crocodile Games from there....would be very worth looking into I think. Again good luck, hope we see more from ...

Ahhh the inspiration for me to collect 32+ 5th edition cold ones, I remember these minis well. Great to see them again Scott, what's next ?

I'm still not a fan of purple skin and I like alot more in the way of shading and highlighting, even still the finished product is impressive and you should be proud. Good job

Can you honestly say with a straight face that you could get a mass of goblin archers to lob their arrows at a selected target...even with a unit champion ? I like the house rules idea better.

Actually, the male beastmaster was the basis for the rider of a golden demon entry a few years ago, named Dark Elf Prince or some such, that was absolutely fantastic. Don't seel that one short....there is potential there.

That would be the one.

I ended up doing both, applying sized sheet steel to the figure bases with sheet magnet applied to a custom made movement tray and applied shhet magnet to figure base and sheet steel to movement tray, depending on how well the pre-made steel pieces fit the figure base. Movement trays were all made u...

Washes might be more useful that you think, remember that oxidation will occure more frequently in low wear areas, while a brighter metalic highlight will remain on those areas recieving alot of wear.

Pretty army, considering ebay, you may get a better overall price selling each unit individually. Not alot of folks would be able/willing to fork over what it's worth as a whole. Good luck if selling is really what you want to do.

It's over a year past the 7th ed book and releases, about time we finally started getting some rumors about the second wave. Cavalry works for me, maybe the new rules will provide a reason to give dark riders shields and lose their fast cav rule...

Great job with the harpy wings, their shape and dynamic fit the daemonettes very well. All in all a very cohesive army so far, nice job.

As far as the harpies are concerned, you could start with a white primer and work from there. Lightening your highlights will help as well.

Not to idly pile on the accolades, but that's beautiful work. The competition in Germany must be especially fierce, there's nothing on the GW website from the Toronto GD that holds a candle to that mini.

I like the black base color, it completes the red, silver/white, black color triad that has always been a strong combination. The bloodthirster wings are a great match for the manti....the furry wildness of them works so much better than the dragon wings that I'm surprised we haven't seen that conve...

Not really a complaint, but more of an observation...two things, first; the blue and red scheme should compliment and contrast each other better than they do, the reason why they don't is because both colors are dark with a little too much saturation. If one was brighter or lighter than the other, t...

Great job as always...any chance of seeing a post of the entire army lined up with additional close-ups of each individual unit ?

I create my own to whatever size I need using sheet styrene, styrene "L" beam bordering on 3 sides and magnetic sheet covering the field in order to secure figure bases with sheet metal added to the bottom of their bases.
