on a side note, the table that my armies are pictured on was scratch built by yours truly. It fits together with latches and a few dowel pins for stability at the ends. overall it's 8x4 feet, and can definitely fit some good sized games in there.

So, a bit of fluff to set the scene:

The central theme for this army is of a Dark Eldar Kabal that treats old, chipped and tarnished equipment as a mark of pride because its level of craftsmanship is so high that it literally takes thousands of years to become weathered and worn.

This Kabal has come to regard what we would see as objects impossibly perfect in form and function as merely the results of tedious “manufacturing” exercises. After all, the Eldar race has had the skills to produce such things for millennia. Instead, arms and armor are only truly coveted once they exhibit the patina acquired in countless battles and the residue of untold deaths.

You can't really see much of the weathering in this shot because my digital camera is also an ancient artifact! If this interests you then take a look at some closeup photos are in the Dakka Gallery and my P&M thread.



I have a new respect for people taking army photos now that I've tried it a couple times myself! Not only are the armies in this thread stunning, there are a lot of great photos as well! Any tips on how to take good army photos? I've found guides on taking individual miniature shots but not so much on whole army displays.

Here is a few shots from a tourney... but just realized I haven't taken a full shot of my army in a long time. Once I finish up my current project I'll have to get on that, but it'll be a while.

@Ovion: I don't know either.. I think its human nature to ignore rules made by someone without the power to punish them.. I repeated it more than once.. ONE Pic per amry.. can't help some people ignore it.. My respect goes to the ones who have posted one pic per army..

My question is why would you even enforce such a "rule"? It's not a competition, so it's more of a guideline, you could've rather said to try and take as few pictures as possible as not to flood the thread.

I'd rather see army shots plus whatever people are proud of enough to take closeups of, enforcing a rule forcing people just to take a far away wide shot to show off how many models they have compared to being able to tell what models they actually have seems like a epeen contest to me.

But hey, your thread your "rules". To me it seems counter intuitive to enforce a limitation in a thread where we're sharing, especially since it's not a contest.
