Yes, I like the dark elves. Actually I started collecting the Naismith ones first and prefer those, but soon enough I got a few of the Marauder ones in a motley ebay lot and so the logical thing to do was to add a few more. The marauder ones are so large and distinct they will need to have their own units, if not their own warband altogether. I actually really love the general style of the armor, helmets, shields and hair, yes, the hair too. If they were just a wee bit less pudgy... but you can't everything.<br /><br />the 40k advert does a great job of succinctly summarizing the state of the product line at the time, and all of it was awesome.Spooktalkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09436639944558607691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283315887973123007.post-19315770807125134412013-09-18T14:50:17.360-07:002013-09-18T14:50:17.360-07:00I'm not the biggest fan of Marauder's rang...I'm not the biggest fan of Marauder's ranges. There is something about them that just looks 'off' to me. There are some nice sculpts in each range but not enough for me to consider collecting them.

I have some of the dark elves and it is some kind of dark elf tetris to rank them up. especially if you have some with the original bulky round shield. But I love them.<br />Markus Schenkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13923558453104939851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283315887973123007.post-51440756021997354282013-09-18T07:12:51.260-07:002013-09-18T07:12:51.260-07:00Great blog update.

They are great miniatures and lovely detailing, but the problem I found is that they were not easy to rank up into units without it turning into some sort of Dark Elven Tetris! Great for skirmish games, and they do have that raiding force feel. <br /><br />I'm less of a fan Marauder miniatures as I did'nt like the rounder chunkier sculpting, although some of the landsknecht were very good, and the Goblins were not too bad. <br /><br />Always good to see a Rogue Trader advert :) <br />Goblin Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14931436821182962785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283315887973123007.post-26853654563171692862013-09-18T06:14:31.502-07:002013-09-18T06:14:31.502-07:00I'm very fond of this range of dark elves, DE6...I'm very fond of this range of dark elves, DE6 and DE23 being my top picks. Generally I do like Marauder, the MM90 chaos dwarves and MM50 skeletons being firm favourites.Mr Saturdayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03092917415087033316noreply@blogger.com
