Dark Elves: Waiting for the tide to turn

Druchii: Waiting for the Dark Elf Army Book

I have finally dusted off all of my Dark Elves, all have been magnetised, most based, and almost all have been fully painted. Still have to do the second Hydra, but patiently waiting for the New Army Book.

Sucked into the Arms Race that is Warhammer Fantasy (And 40K, for that matter, but have got rid of all of them critters...)


I have been spending most of my time expanding my WWII 20mm armies in expectation of Kursk later in the month, working on Soviets at the moment.

Had to clear away the half painted and partially painted DE's I had obtained as a cheapie off TradeMe in the process, so thought I may as well finish these and take a family photo:

So here they are, my Druchii Family:

So now we wait. What will the future bring? Likely monstrous cavalry, a monster or two, and flyers, if we can believe the trend. Probably a new Cauldron or similar boosting device, and new characters in fine cast - IMHO
