New Dark Eldar - conversions for BFG?

WIP for the DE Heavy Cruiser

Nice.

[Sigoroth]

Very very nice in fact. Can't say I'm liking the colour scheme though. Makes it look drab, but looking past that I can see that the model is mucho excellente.

That's just the base coat, I haven't finished painting it, but my DE's are a Dark Angels Green color scheme

More work done

Nice Pat. I'm excited to make it explode next friday.

Got to catch it first 

[Sigoroth]

Got any photos from different angles? Front, back and top would be nice.

[patghiggins]

I'll see what I can come up with

Here are some new picture, I changed to contrast to show detail a little better

Very cool. Much better than the standard cruisers.

Indeed, better looking.  Wonder how cost effective though.

[Zhukov]

For the U.S. at least:

Dark Eldar Cruiser BFG line: $17.25 per ship.
Dark Eldar Escort BFG line: $15.00 for 3.

Dark Eldar Reavers 40k line: $34.75 for 3.
Dark Eldar Hellions 40k line: $24.75 for 5.

So it's cheaper taking the 40k option stateside. And with no cost to shipping (over $15) it's not a bad thought. Anybody else think the Hellions (with a bit of model adjusting) could make good escorts?

Just saw Pat's ship in RL, totally cool, he's changed the paint scheme up a bit since the photos.

Didn't get a chance to kill it though, he played chaos with a Blackstone this month.

I'd love to see the escort designs-- this is a great idea.
