Well after much thought and waiting for several months for GW to sort DE out, I’m signing off the gaming part of the hobby, I’ll continue to do single pieces that interest me and commissions.
It’s sad having the army laying about doing nothing and I could do with some cash in, as I need to buy a POS bike to run over the winter to save my Blade (british winters destroy machinery)
I have personal reasons for letting the army go too….
Here’s a link to some full army shots I made last year so you can see what it looks like on the table.
I won best DE general with this army and had full feature in ‘whats new today’ which came in the top three for that year , linky
Army comes with a full custom cut Battlefoam case which has room to expand the army into, it cost a fortune by itself … there is a glossy brochure/army list which I produced for TOS also included and a set of dice/objective markers that goes with the army colours.
I think most of the pictures are HERE my Flikr pool, a few of the DE models there are not part of the army, but I’m happy to discuss selling them as part of the collection.
I have often been told this is the best DE army out there, If you fancy owning it hit me up on Sorrowshard@gmail.com to discuss, please no time wasters only email me if you are genuine and understand the sort of money this is worth.
I look forward to hearing from you.

PS. I’m putting this up here so my regulars have a chance at it first , but in a few days this will be advertised everywhere else, I doubt it will hang around much after that ;o)
Sad to see you giving them up!
That is one amazing army and I wish I had the money to take it off your hands.
You deserve a kings ransom for the amazing painting so I hope you get a good offer.
I just really hope Phil Kelly visits this site and feels like a bitch right now. You DE are one of the best painted evil kin armies i saw. Thanks for all the inspiration. (Aren’t You waiting for the next batch of Faqs? – every day i pray that GW will turn the state of DE with them)
GWS doesn’t make a habit of fixing xenos armies with faqs, they just ruin them. It would be nice but the codex is flawed at the deepest level. Its actually reasonable at really low points, but there are massive diminishing returns one those ravagers aren’t 25-30% of your army.
At the more widely played levels it just doesn’t compete. I mean to put it in perspective I’ve heard talk that normal eldar are now more competitive…
So it’s time to hack to GW home page and write our own faq’s like ” Huskblades are ap2″, “Agonisers are ap2 and haywire”, “Razorwing and voidravens have vector dancer”, “Lances have the beam rule” – that kind of shit
Sigh.
Your DE are really, really amazing, and you are a painter of enviable talent.
I have, so far, been avoiding 40k like a plague, but I suspect the Ultimate Rival is gonna force me to at least try it.
Blah.
But, hey- I figure I can hate on it properly if I understand the workings a bit, so that’s something.
I’d hate to see you leave the hobby altogether. Yes, motorcycles are cool, but I hope you’ll find time to throw dice at sumpthin.’
Like Infinity. I’m sure you’d paint the hell outta those things.
Stupid GW. Look what you’ve done.
-_-
The new ruleset isn’t all that bad, there are a few issues like random charge range and the silly new allocation system but overall I think it is mainly an improvement.
Allies add a nice flavour to the game, but unfortunately the struggling armies stay struggling. From a fun perspective though its huge and very good for the hobby.
The allocation changes was a bad way of fixing a major problem that was being abused last edition…
The random changed the viability of certain units and forces but that can be designed around for most armies.
I think overall the new ruleset is reasonable, but certain armies won’t be happy. Ie DE.
