Dark Eldar Archon with Incubi

     Back in the early 2000s I went on a band trip to Edmonton. It was on this trip that we visited the West Edmonton mall, and my first Games Workshop store. My friend picked up the 3rd Editon Warhammer 40k Starter set, for the Space Marines. Working only a paper route at the time, I had considerably less money to spend, only picking up some metal wyches and the codex. Andrew let me use the kabalite warriors included in the starter set, living in Weyburn, it's easier to hook a friend then find ones that already play right? 

    Since then, I sold off all my Dark Eldar, which wasn't much more then the Kabalites Warriors, which Andrew eventually gave me, Wyches, Incubi and an Archon. The lack of vehicles really didn't help grow my gaming prowess. I eventually turned to Chaos Space Marines as my second army.

    I have now started collecting Dark Eldar miniatures of that era. Here is part of that collection that still needs to get painted. The Archon I painted up is from Hasslefree miniatures with a splinter pistol added to her hand, not much of a kitbash, but looks pretty natural. But what's an Archon without their Incubi?



    Couldn't find a second double fist backpack, but I am not really into them anyways. Incubi are usually in groups of five, but I only found four of this sculpt. I'll need to keep looking for the last one.

    I tried to match the paint scheme I used for these Wyches which I planned to use for Kill Team 2018. Loads more to go! I think the next step will be painting up a Raider and filling out the two units.

    I picked up some miniatures from King Games Miniatures which I will show off here. Hopefully, I can show off some more finished projects soon as well!

  1. Great work on the Incubi and Archahon Jon, hope finding the raiders from that era doesn't prove too costly, can't believe some of the prices I've seen !

  2. Thanks Dave, I do have one older one that I picked up with some kabalites, wyches and jetbikes. I haven't had a good look at it, so it might not have all the weapons or crew.

    1. If your short on crew bits let me know, I may well have spares.
