Benmannens Dark Eldar blog (with lots of baldies!)

Post by Benmannen »

Hello, just wanted to shout out that I am, as half the internet, starting a blog...

But not any blog! A blog about our favorit army in our favorit hobby system: DARK ELDAR, written in the far-far-faaaaar away outpost (even the last outpost some would say) Stockholm in fittingly dark and cold Sweden. Much inspiration is easy to find over here for bitter and desperate Dark Eldar action

I used to have a regular web site but all the html coding made updating too slow, so I shut it down and now am switching over to blogging. I love it, it's so much easier and can be done from my iPhone, so expect lots of updates.

It will of course be all about my Dark Eldar army, it started up as a version of my WFB Dark Elf army, and then just took off... I'm now over 8000p of painted stuff and got a couple of more thousand to finish. The new codex has so many goodies that the army is almost completely revamped.

So as mentioned all about Dark Eldar, and therefore naturally about 40k, but it will also be about my Dark Eldar fleet for BFG and my unpainted and unfinished Epic Dark Eldar force. I might create a Space Hulk Dark Eldar strike force The new plastics would make for a great Blood Bowl team and so on...Who knows, anything Dark Eldar can and will be discussed on the blog.

I'm preparing for one of the biggest 40k tournaments in Sweden that takes place at the end of April, my plan is to blog about the army list I'm tweaking and do a full report from the tournament.. stay tuned for updates on the progress.

So please check it out, and subscribe if you like it! I only got about 5 posts so far but there will be lots of more stuff coming up:

Your blog has been good so far. Thought I'd let you know as I live up the road, well Turku actually ;) , and certainly fit the baldy bit. To misquote an old film, virtual cookies for guesses, nobody trucks with the baldies! 8)

I'm considering the BB thing myself. :idea:

Nice, I've been to Turku a bunch of years ago and had a great time!

What's the Finnish tournament scene like, it's it all down in Helsinki? Any bigger ones you could recommend? 40k or Fantasy...

Turku just hosted the Warmachine Nordic open for Europe which was attended by a good number of people.

Around autumn Turku hosts the biggest event in Finland called the TurkuFanatic. I think theres usually around 50 places for each system, and is well attended. Its fairly common I think for a few swedes to gate crash ;)

If you like I could PM you a bit closer to the time with further details. :?: :!:

Yeah, that would be great if you could PM me, every fall there's a huge 40K tourney in sweden that might interest you. It's a team tournament and a couple of teams that fly in from Europe. They do a WFB tournament at the same time, but it's not as big.

I added some finished Hellions to the blog, check them out:
