Does anyone know where to find 6th Ed. DE concept art?

Post by Rogue-gladiator »

Hello all,

A few years back, Games-Workshop had a section on their site of some Dark Elf Concept art that was used to create the look of the Dark Elves in 6th Edition. Included in the art was the Black Guard (I think), Executioners with axes, a sorceress (may have been Morathi?), and a Manticore. The only one I vividly remember was the manticore- lion like body in mid stride, with a somewhat elongated face to match the elvish look. They all appeared to be pencil sketches.

I thought I had saved them to my external hard drive, but I was looking for them today and found nothing. I was wondering if any of the Druchii.net members knew where to find, or if they had, the concept art that i am looking for. I would be most grateful, as it was some amazing sketches and would love to have them to reference.

Thanks!
RG

EDIT: I just found the executioners with axes in the album section, I should mention all the sketches are by Dave Gallagher. Here is the executioner to give you an idea of what the drawing style of the pictures are:

I know the ones you mean but sadly they all disappeared since the revamped and super-corporate new GW site :(

I know... unless someone has the artwork saved to their computer and can upload it to a picture site like image shack, I may have a go at emailing GW themselves and asking if they would still have the images to send to me. Next to no chance of accomplishing anything, but it's better than nothing...

There is a concept art section in my Dark Elf collector's guide here:

This dead ends at the 5th edition, however.

after a bit of searching deep in the bowels of my computer, I was able to find the manticore art! I'm almost sure that I don't have the other pictures stored anywhere, but I thought I would at least share this image with the community. I've uploaded the image to the album, with credit to Dave Gallagher:
