40k | Dark Eldar - More raiders for Commorragh!

Finding myself heavily burdened with work the past couple of weeks, this weekend I decided to spend some of my spare time sitting down and getting some models assembled. This is probably my favourite part of the hobby for me, perhaps even in front of gaming itself - I find it highly relaxing to sit back in a comfy chair and hack my fingers to bits with a sharp knife, inevitably spilling poly cement everywhere, and somehow end up with half decent models at the end.

First of all, as I already talked about, I've started working on some Ancient Germans for use in various historical tabletop systems. Whilst they aren't the most detailed plastics I've ever seen, they are definitely enjoyable to assemble while watching some rubbish or other on the computer. I'll make a full post (with maybe a bit of a review on the models themselves) once I've gotten them all built and have the time to look them over properly - for now, I'm just modelling them as a means to unwind from stress.

Secondly, I finally got around to assembling some of the final dregs of my current Dark Eldar collection. This consisted of a box of Wyches, 5 Hellion Riders (their skyboards have long been used rider-less) A finecast Lelith Hesperax, and a couple of kitbashed Succubi. Again, I apologise for the poor picture quality - I'm definitely going to be investing in a decent camera after Christmas (assuming I don't get one for the event itself)

The pair of Succubi are made quite simply from the venom crew (the ones that hold on to the wings) given various arms from my bits box - two Scourge arms, a Raider crew weapon, and a converted Archite Glaive using a Hellglaive and a Razorflail arm - and then balanced on a piece of leftover sprue which will end up being part of a bunch of rubble on the base.

Next post will likely be about Call of Cthulhu (our last Friday session was sadly cancelled at the last minute) so be sure to stay tuned for that! Until then, happy gaming!
