Over the past couple of months I have been tidying up my 3rd Ed Dark Eldar army for use in 9th Edition. I did play Dark Eldar in early 8th Edition but the figures were mostly from Jack's 5th Edition army.
For 9th, I wanted to build a list that used as much of the mix of plastic and metal models GW released in conjunction with the 3rd Edition launch back in 1998. So I have been painting extra models to beef out units. The only real post 3e units are a small Court of the Archon (I wanted to paint a Sslyth!!!) and the inclusion of Wracks (using models that were 3rd Ed Grotesques).
Most of the army was painted by Troy Forster - a regional manager for GW in the 00's - and featured in a six page spread in White Dwarf around 2002. I have been sourcing the original metal models and painting them to replicate Troy's paint job.
I've now finished the army except I have to replicate his basing - this weekend's job.
Here are a few army-wide pictures:
Once I have standardised the basing I will take some unit photos. I will also pull out the original White Dwarf article, scan it and post a copy here.
The list I am using has three Patrols.
