Over the course of the last many months I've been collecting a number of painted units from Ebay with the intention of creating a small Dark Elf Warhammer Fantasy Battle army. Most of them were painted to a good standard, and I simply needed to touch up each unit, adding some details, re-basing, and dipping (using my normal method) for some consistency. I added the Dark Elf Assassin I painted a few months ago, and also added a Dark Elf Repeating Bolt Thrower that I painted up a couple of weeks ago. Finally, I printed some appropriate banners from Kinko's, and the army was complete. I'm very happy with the minimal painting time and cost.
The figures are a mix of Citadel and Marauder Miniatures from the mid-1980s to around the mid-1990s. My favorites are the two Doom Drakes - proto-Cold Ones - that have a more primal and fun look, (at least to me). Finding square bases of the appropriate size will continue to be a big challenge, but I've already started buying painted units from Ebay for small Chaos, High Elf, Dwarf, and Empire forces (when the price is right).
