Jeremy Baldridge's Dark Eldar
Updated 08/19/01
This is my Dark Eldar army, the "Kabal of the
Glowing Feast". It's my only finished and painted army to-date, and surprisingly, it
won "Best Painted" for me at the first Rogue Trader tournament I attempted. I
have a pretty good win record with it, considering it's my "beater" army (haha,
pun).

This is Rife Saturnal, my Archon. I barely ever use him since I
prefer the Haemoncubike combo below. However, he attracts a lot of attention because of
the almost tribal way he's painted. I'll have to give him a Jetbike or Hellboard to play
with one of these days. |
| This is Lorces Almstet, the Chemist Haemonculus. He keeps the Kabal
fully-stocked with drugs of all kinds, and is the personal advisor of Rife. Also, he's the
boytoy of Kaali below. This conversion wasn't too hard: just the body of a Reaver biker,
the head of a Warrior, and some accessory blades on the hand for a Scissorhand effect. |

This is probably the best conversion in the army: Kaali
Mongres--the speed junky Haemonculus. Her conversion was a bit more difficult, since the
body of a female Warrior doesn't quite fit the Rider legs or the posture in the jetbike.
Her purple mohawk is a chunk from a DE Warrior plume. The pole is just a piece of sprue
and the unfortunate victim lashed to it (complete with sewn-in pistol hands) is a Human
she once favored, and decided to keep around after she was through torturing him. Grisly!
The corpse is from the OOP Zombies set. |

This is my Hellion Blaster conversion (since you can't buy them
with Blasters). I got the gun bit from GW and cut off a Warrior's fists--and glued them
on. The knife is from the Warrior sprue. I especially like the blending of green and
yellow on the armor and the two-toned red and purple hair. Big gun for a scrawny little
Dark Eldar. |
| This is my Hellion Succubus (male), complete with blood splatters
and trophy heads. |

These are a couple of Warriors to show the paint scheme of most of
the army. The Sybarite in the middle is actually a Scourge without wings. The trophy rack
is a conversion and his sword is from an Eldar sprue. |
| This is my Talos, "Parasite". I have a project underway
to sculpt my own Talos, but that's been a long time coming--and I keep dismantling it
because I have better ways to do it. I wish GW would've given the Talos some upgrade
options so there was more customization one could do with them. |

The above is the product of about six hours of work.
It's a scratch-built Raider, made completely from mat board, toothpicks, wooden dowel rods,
and balsa wood. With a little fine tuning, it could probably pass
for a purchased one. Click

| To the right is a basic plastic DE
Warrior converted into a Wych. I used the ponytail head, a knife
from the sprue, and clipped off the barrel of a splinter rifle. I
had to remove the knife hand and rotate it on the wrist, but the
conversion was very simple for the most part.
Otherwise, I just painted some areas flesh-colored
and tried to give the pant legs an appearance of being slit open.
Still need to base it... |
