So, after meeting and talking to Bigred at Adepticon last year, he convinced me that I should post on BOLS lounge some. Now that the wedding is over, and the second wedding in China is over, I'm able to get back to the real serious business of plastic mandollies!
Rewind back to when Third Edition 40k was released. Dark Eldar Warrior models were cool as hell looking, and easy to come by. Unfortunately for me, once I had obtained roughly 160 Warriors through various means, I realized that my poor wallet was about the suffer the need to buy roughly 10 Raiders and Ravagers, and expensive metal Wych models. I quickly scrapped the army and went back to Chaos.
Now, 12-14 years later I'm "all growed up" and can afford to build the army that I always wanted to!
My initial purchase included:
Codex
5 Raiders
3 Wych boxes
3 Warrior boxes
3 Reaver boxes
2 Incubi Boxes
1 Archon
Tonight I'll be picking up:
2 Ravagers
2 Hellion boxes
I started by building Raiders, Wyches, and Warriors, which I'm not going to post pictures of because they'll look just like everyone else's warriors(especially considering that I mounted them all on Dragon Forge's Lost Empires bases just like every other Dark Eldar player likely will!). After giving the codex a read, I decided that I really liked Duke Sliscus. Not just from a gaming/gamer perspective though, I really liked his story. He's like Yriel, with class. He's got balls, and he knows how to use them!
I decided to screw around with some old Dark Elf corsair sprues that Dylan Gauker gave me after winning some painting competition somewhere:
(The wife misplaced the dongle that you use to attach the camera to our tripod, so I have some peripheral focus issues with my macro lens going on. I was too busy trying to hold the camera steady, but the pictures turned out good enough for now)
Sliscus (Or Trueborn Dracon when I don't want to run him)
Trueborn squad with slightly converted Shardcarbines and Splinter Cannons
Next post: Venom.
