Nope, definitely not. He's DE23 in the catalogue.

I was sure I had commented on your crossbow unit before but must have not submitted. in fact I've just gone back to look at the army shots so far. It looks brilliant, very different from the current edition and your movement trays are superb.

Thanks Booah, much appreciated.

The last 5 crossbows are done. I'm thinking about doing another unit in the future but we'll see.

Over the weekend I managed to get another handful of warriors done to complete the unit.

I'll probably get around to doing a progress shot of the army so far later this week.

As it is now there are:

30 Warriors
5 Shades
18 Crossbows
12 Dark Riders
5 Assassins
24 Witch Elves
and now another 24 Warriors

Cheers,
DB

Best old skool warriors I've seen painted up :) For such retro models they have a great sense of dynamism, especially altogether as a unit.

Your choice of Dragon is nicely fitting too 8)

Thanks guys.

It's the look I was going for, much like the old artwork here

I'm planning to put a sorceress on the dragon.

Cheers.

I have to say that this is one of my favourite DE blogs ever. So many cool models assembled and well painted. An epic achievement, and a real inspiration. 8)

That whole army shot would bring a tear to an 80s player's eye.

I particularly like the "Storm Warriors" guy overseeing proceedings from the stair.

An inspired force 8)

Thanks a lot. All things being well, next week I can make a start on the Cold Ones .

I've managed to find a spare sorceress to ride the dragon too. I'm going to use the male version holding a scroll in the Cold One unit.

That's the thing about the old stuff, they are short on characters.

Cheers.
