Re: [PLOG] Bobba Looba’s Dark Elves

They look great. It may be old models, but I still like the old sculpt. It's a pity they never got a plastic kit, and they have become difficult to come by. I would have loved to get my hands on 20 more!

Re: [TOW] The Curse of Nehekhara

I thought I'd give it my first update already, even though there were 2 weeks between the previous picture and this one. I finished the infantry. A few observations: we don't get enough upgrade sprues to give every infantry and cavalry model a TK helmet, even though they are pictures as such on the ...

[TOW] The Curse of Nehekhara

With the start of TOW, I wanted to join in on the fun. I was also afraid that Dark Elves would not get any support in TOW for a while, and would prefer to play with a supported army. This has me sidestep into 2 new armies: Tomb Kings and Chaos Warriors. I reasoned, I might as well get one of them ar...

Re: Old World Subforum?

Yes that seems like a good idea.
But since TOW is the spiritual successor of WFB, would it be enough to rename the appropriate fora for "the world-that-was" to The Old World equivalent?

[TOW] Rules questions - Stupidity

Greetings, During my first game of The Old World, my Cold One Knights failed their stupidity test. My opponent and I were not entirely clear on how to interpret the rules. According to the rules, the unit must move during the Compulsery Moves subphase in a straight line, but it does not specify a fe...

TOW - 800pts

I got my first game on Saturday. I thought I'd bring something simple to explore game mechanics, and bring as many painted models to the table as I can. I'll put the sorceress in the Repeater Crossbow unit. It's probably not an optimal list, but it's close to something I would bring in 8th for this ...

new spam countermeasures

Hey everyone. Since I had to spend quite some time removing bots and spam, I changed the security and counter measures. So far it seems to help.

Should there be any issue with the new settings, let me know.

Re: Board is back - my appologies

Right, the problem kept plagueing the board repeatedly, in spite of some changes. The root cause was discovered: a security setting was limiting the number of sessions available. We seem to have a high number of guest visits, eating up sessions. I'm guessing these are mostly crawlers, search engines...

Re: After the migration. Report problems?

Yes - But.... I'll need to upgrade the board's software to get it back to work. This may take some time. We might also lose the theme in the process, but we can see.

Board is back - my appologies

Greetings, the board was down for an extended time. The root cause isn't entirely clear. I suspect the host had done a migration in the back, since the server names and all were changed. I think part of the server couldn't get the config and data it needed and "disabled" the board. A reboo...

Re: Is it time to close Druchii.net?

The cost is acceptable. The software running the site will need the occasional upgrade, but for now the phpbb platform is still supported so the upgrade path should be manageable.

Re: [40k] Daeron's Thousand Sons

It took me way too long, but I finally finished these. They really take a long time because of all the details, and sometimes I feel like I could have done even more.... or get a comparable result with considerably less effort.

Re: 4th Edition Dark Elves Army by GeOrc

Beautiful work Georc!
As you mention the small pictures - I've doubled the attachment size and image size now. I'm not sure if that will be enough. If you find yourself still limited, I can increase it further. The old values were getting outdated :P

No, I have not lost motivation! In fact, I nearly completed the building part :D
I'm a few updates behind. I'll try to make some pictures!

The painting, however, won't be something I'll get started on soon. I focus on painting what I will be playing and atm that's 40K.

20211124_110133.jpg Thank you for the suggestion. They seem to stack nicely with diagonal slots, but that does make them face to the side. When I use parallel slots, then they are just a mm shy of slotting nicely. The sword arm stands out a tad too much. It looks like diagonal slots are the easiest...

The person who sold them, ages ago, only had 22 in the box. It's enough for a unit though :)

Re: [PLOG] Restoring my Old World Dark Elves

I always try to seperate the different miniature ranges from each other because the aesthetic changed a lot during the 20 years from 6th until today. Ahh yeah. I felt like 6th edition had a really well defined aesthetic, and so did 8th, with 7th being a cross-over. Playing Total War made me really ...

Re: [PLOG] Restoring my Old World Dark Elves

After finishing the above units I checked out the new box of warriors. I must say... the new models are amazing. I almost wish to replace my dreadspears and darkshards with the new 8th edition models. I guess playing Total War Warhammer has made me fall in love with the aesthetic of 8th warriors. Ah...
