Averland and Empire Old and New Army Pics

Having posted on http://www.warhammer-empire.com/ forums with some pics of my Averland General, then someone asked about old figures, so I had a rummage around for some. These are probably some of the earliest that I have that were used in an army when Warhammer 1st edition came out, as opposed to DandD figures. I still have the boxed set upstairs. They were from the Dark Ages range that Citadel Produced some time late 70's to early 80's. Worked as bowmen quite well and probably still could use them as Kislev troops.

This is my current Averland Empire Halberdiers (just a sample) with the Moon Duke as champion. Metal halberdier and then a plastic one with a head swap to make him stand out from the crowd.

These are some of my current Averland greatswords. They include one of the F5 Paladins from 1986 (on right). I used a bronze armour on these guys. Rather than a simple steel plate armour.

Dark Elves Spearmen and Repeater Crossbows

Some shots of my Dark Elf force, this army has been reasonably successful, and this is with it using a Black Dragon as a mount for the Dark Elf General. Depsite putting mega pts into this arrangement it seems to work. The army colours use an antique gold for the helments and extra metal fittings with a purple for cloth. Also have leather details in a creamy leather for that flayed looked. The Dark Elves Spearmen unit uses a mix of figures, there are some older metal figures in there for most of the spearmen, the champion and the musician, whilst there are also a few of the newer plastic figures. I also used a mix of shield designs, some hand painted and some with plastic skulls, but all using the skull motif. The Repeater Crossbow Dark Elves also use a mix of metal and plastic figures, tied together with the same colour scheme. The unit has no standard but does have a musician.

Slannesh Chaos Marauder Minis

Old Citadel Barbarians or Norsemen from around 1986 which I now use in my Slannesh Chaos army as Chaos Marauders. This was before they got rid of the combined Chaos force with the release of Chaos Daemons. Talk about a backward step.

Wood Elf War Dancers

There are a number of warhammer armies that I have been collecting since Warhammer began really. Having moved house this was an opportunity to get some of them out of the attic and view them in more detail. The armies in my collection are Wood Elves High Elves Dark Elves Spotting a theme! Empire Chaos Warriors Skaven Dogs of War With significant collections of dwarves and orcs/gobbos. Plus lots of models I got just because I liked them. In terms of 40k Dark Angels (Main collection) Eldar Imperial Guard Chaos Marines I'll try and lay some out so I get more of them up, but this post is just about one unit. Wardancers I have only done half of them here, as I need to get the photography set up with a tripod for indoor work. Anyway, they follow the basic theme for my Wood Elf army, quite a bright green for most of the units with some being a bit more russet. Half my Wood Elf Wardancer Band Colour scheme is a lighter flesh, with bright green and bro
