WHFB, I can't justify spending that much money on them. Games Workshop has lost yet another customer due to their outrageous pricings.

So that aside, I was wondering what are some good companies that make nice looking Dark Elves models and are cheaper that GW?

They won't be cheaper, but they'll probably be better.

Also, as an Aussie - buy GW products from Discount Games Store in the US. You'll pay roughly half our retail. I just picked up 3 new space marine strike forces for $177 each - they're $350 RRP each here, and have $495 worth of models if bought individually. DE Dreadspears are $27 compared to $45 for example. Alternately, there's China.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/557297/6140422.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/557297/6140422.page GMT Good alternatives for Dark Elves? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/557297/6140726.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/557297/6140726.page GMT Good alternatives for Dark Elves? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/557297/6140769.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/557297/6140769.page GMT Good alternatives for Dark Elves?

I feel you on that lol.. Having a large Dark Elf army I cant continue to expand it with the current pricing of the models..]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/557297/6140776.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/557297/6140776.page GMT Good alternatives for Dark Elves? DE beasties, and bones material works much better for them. There's a really nice hydra model you can use as...a hydra.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/557297/6140908.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/557297/6140908.page GMT Re:Good alternatives for Dark Elves? 30 Gamezone warriors cost about as much as 10 GW dreadthingies.


Raging Heroes will make a Dark Elf release some time in the future with nice alternative designs, could be cheaper than GW as well, noone knows ATM though.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/557297/6140948.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/557297/6140948.page GMT Re:Good alternatives for Dark Elves?
One option (and cheaper) would be the Mantic Twilight Kin


Although, about £1.70 per miniature not as cheap as a lot of their ranges.

Otherwise would second Kroot's Gamezone miniatures, have an army of their dwarves and they are lovely little miniatures - here is a painted example:


And their riders are awesome.. and check out their Harpy as well (which is approx. 8000 times better than the GW version)


There are lots of character miniatures around, made by different companies, but Avatars of War is worth checking out


Hope that helps! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/557297/6140967.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/557297/6140967.page GMT Good alternatives for Dark Elves?
I'll have to have a look at all the above posts and see which one is the best price and which ones I like better

I particularly like the gamezone miniatures and will definitely be getting some if only to convert them into some lords or something!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/557297/6143251.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/557297/6143251.page GMT Re:Good alternatives for Dark Elves? Those minis are first of all made for looks. Not a problem for foot soldiers, but a big metal dino balancing on one toe is a challenge to transport and play with. Also multi-part models tend to have bad fitting, making use of greenstuff to fill the gaps necessary. If you can, wait for restic versions.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/557297/6143333.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/557297/6143333.page GMT Good alternatives for Dark Elves?
