Got these last year and painted them up.  Finally shot some pics today.  Enjoy!

Just saw these on your blog, I am jealous of these figs, they are full of old school character. Great blog as well, lots of Citadel goodness.

Very nice work.  I love those models, but some of them have enormous feet.

I especially like the placement of the champion of Slaanesh sword in the hand of the leader.  I ordered a half-dozen of them when you could still buy bits.  I wound up using them for corsair conversions.

Great stuff - loving the Hussar look to the leader.  8)

Whenever I think of Dark Elves, I always think Marauder, which is weird since they were only around for a short time. Really must do the ones I picked up for my Slaaneshi warband soon.

Yeah, the Hussar jacket hooked me too.  He was holding a hand crossbow, but I snipped and filed and gave him the sword from the Slaanesh Champion that is currently in production. 

I love the croatian/cossack feel of these minis.

Not seen these particular minis before - very nice indeed.

 Always had a soft spot for Marauder Dark Elves.

Thanks.  I dig these minis huge.  I chopped the crossbow pistol out of the leader's hand and replaced it with the sword from the latest Slaanesh champion.

I have about 8 of the Marauder Dark Elf warriors still to paint up.  I'll post 'em when I paint 'em.

Very nice Faust! I actually sorted mine out of the lead mountain yesterday evening to put in the "tentative LPL sub mountain" instead. There's a piece missing though... I need any of these two crossbow hands:

I can help you with one of those, Phreed. PM me and we can discuss it. The preferred component for that figure is this one, though:



GW actually packaged that figure with a random selection of all three, but the MM70 crossbow and repeater crossbow shown do not fit the figure very well.

You might want to contact the store Great Escape Games in Sacramento California, USA.  Its where I bought my models from their consignment case.  $2 USD each.  I think they have a few left.

Got the mini, just need the hands + weapon. =)

I can help you with one of those, Phreed.
Cheers Mike! Your suggestion is the best fit, I agree!
