I've had a Dark Eldar army for a while now, but I don't play 40K. So I've been turning it into a fantasy Dark elf army. These are some of the work in progress pictures. The only model that's finished is the cauldron of blood. I'm concentrating on just getting it tournament legal right now. Then Ill work on making everything look really good. So you will notice most of the models have unpainted or only primed arms.
First the center piece of the army, My cauldron of blood. Its made with a Mortis engine, some foam board and a few Dark Eldar witches. The statue of Kain is a Hordes miniature. Great because the scale is a little bit bigger then Warhammer.

Witch elves. They are pretty much the same in fantasy and 40K. They just need some touch ups

And my favorite part of the whole army and one of the most broken things in the dark elf army book. Heroes on Pegasus.

Thanks guys. I know they still need a lot of work, but I'm excited with what I've got so far. Ill have them "legal" for the Lost Legion Tournament. Then its all detail work until TempleCon. By then I want to have the army and a display board finished.
I got My Dark Riders Based and partially painted

The tower is so huge that its hard to get a good picture of it. Its on floating rocks, like the cauldron. The tower itself is a typical sleek dark elf design, its going to have a black and green color scheme to tie it into the rest of the army.

Measuring in at 21"tall. I give you the dark elf folding fortress. The largest warhammer project I've ever done.

and a view of the base of floating rocks.
It's made out of. Modeling clay, foam board, pink foam, green stuff, and the blood of a thousand innocent children.
