Seeing how we have many new members who might not be familiar with my oldhammer exploits, I thought it'd be a good idea to do a few showroom threads on what I already have painted, categorized by race. First out, dark elves.
Never liked dark elves much, but still it's handy to have a few around for skirmishing (I don't play *hammer, only SOBH, Crom and similar rule sets.) Since I don't care much for the models I realized they would never get painted unless I got someone else to do them for me. First, I sent my RR4 Mengil Manhide's regiment to Pil for painting, a few years ago. Some of you will recognize these from LAF/Frothers or my blog where I posted them almost two years ago.

Last year, I took the remaining dark elves I had kicking about and sent them to JollyBob. Being somewhat of a lazy old codger, I couldn't get around to post them until now. I've had them back for well over half a year. Yesterday I posted them up on the blog though, as can be seen here: http://ministuff.godzilla.se/?p=846

So, that's my complete dark elf "collection" such as it is. I'm glad to be done with them (or rather, have had them done for me). Only dark elves I have to paint myself are the various monopose plastics I've collected over the years, and my old 2nd edition Blood Bowl dark elves.
I must say having models done for you on commission is rather nice. I do the bases myself once I receive them, so as to get an homogenic look with all my models. Once that is done, it's not obvious which minis I have painted myself and which I have had painted for me.
