I've had these Dark Eldar Warriors sitting around on the sprues ever since the 3rd edition boxed set was released. Finally, when brainstorming on where I could find well-armored spiky elves that would be easy to convert, it occurred to me that I had the perfect base figures.

They are basically just D.Eldar Warriors + D.Elf Spearmen arms + various spiky bits + greenstuff cloaks. Definitely not perfect, but they're good enough. I held one up to another Dark Elf player at the local GW and said "If I put this on the table in my Dark Elf army, what do you think it would be?"

He stared at it for a while...
"Ummmmm, a Black Guard?"

Works for me.



This 2nd pic gives a better view of the "halberds" as well as showing how they'll rank up. Two ranks of 7, with the 4 "attacking" figures and the command group in front.





There's no telling when I'll update this with the other 7 figures (including the command group). I haven't GS'ed their cloaks yet, because I HATE sculpting. This unit has been sitting on my desk half-finished for probably over 2 months because of it. Still, I thought I'd share. Maybe it will inspire a more motivated converter to knock together a dirt-cheap unit of Black Guard for their own Druchii army...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/263323/1081146.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/263323/1081146.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/263323/1081164.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/263323/1081164.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/263323/1082189.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/263323/1082189.page GMT
