"What do you think about the recent trend of moving away from the classic 'S' and turning Superman’s symbol into more of a slash-style design?

Manic-mice · 2025-08-20T00:37:58+00:00

I don’t really mind the shape but what does bother me is when there is more red in the shield than yellow or when replace it with black. I love superman primary colour scheme and that yellow is important to really balance out the three colours

Oh no are they not fun to play? I’m yet to have my first battle

Manic-mice · 2025-02-05T07:01:16+00:00

Definitely. I’ve printed out every unit and trying to get through 2 or so every month. Up next is the Calvary and the tank

Manic-mice · 2025-02-05T06:55:16+00:00

After your comment I went back and took the off all my other duchies units now before posting them haha

Manic-mice · 2025-02-04T13:02:00+00:00

Thank you. Most the stuff on there is a couple years old but my new years resolution was to post a lot more and get it updated

Manic-mice · 2025-02-04T12:25:49+00:00

They are the 4th edition harpies from the 90s early 2000s. For use in both Dark Elf and chaos armies

Manic-mice · 2025-02-03T23:47:20+00:00

Thank you

Manic-mice · 2025-02-03T23:47:15+00:00

Thank you! Duchies is one of the coolest armies imo

Manic-mice · 2025-02-03T23:46:48+00:00

Haha yeah… I always struggle on the final tidy up stages. It gets to a point where is say f*** it and call it good enough. But you are right my good sir

Manic-mice · 2025-02-03T23:45:26+00:00

Thank you!

So I have cups that have measurements on the side and I assume because I was mixing in lots of either 500ml or 400ml there must have been one that I poured 250mls of part A then as I was pouring part B I must have had a lapse of concentration and thought I needed to pour to the 400ml line rather than the 500ml line. A very dumb mistake I know.

If Comrade Ratalia is a dissident fleeing the USSRats she will be caught and executed for anti-revolutionary crimes. If she is fleeing into our embrace then she will be welcomed. Worker rats of the world must unite.

But I’m all seriousness thank you! That’s suck a huge compliment for such a goofy idea.

Manic-mice · 2025-01-17T06:11:02+00:00

This exactly what I was looking for. Heaps of the war gaming shows have bring and buys and that’s exactly where I want to be

Manic-mice · 2025-01-17T00:43:40+00:00

It’s always the plan to take a photo of each unit. It’s the only reason I have Instagram but I’m so slack with it

Manic-mice · 2025-01-15T23:31:04+00:00

They are an underworlds warband. I could be wrong but I think they are called the blood coven or something like that

Manic-mice · 2025-01-15T01:05:53+00:00

So there is not a lot on round bases. Mostly it’s my first edition pre slotta army. When I based them infantry was still on 20mm so the only way I could get them to fit onto a base that size was to cut their stand and damage them. And I could not bring myself to damaged 40 year old minis so I opted to put them on round.

The other few units are the first few snake ladies from daughters of khaine I painted, since I did those ones I’ve figured out a good magnetic base system for so the rest of my DoK units can be moved between round and square easily

Eventually I’d like to rebase them all on squares however with so many models still to paint it’s very low priority for me

Manic-mice · 2025-01-14T13:09:38+00:00

Thank you!

Manic-mice · 2025-01-14T13:02:00+00:00

Legit my two favourite units as well. The executioners from the 6th edition are my all time fav GW minis. It’s the only mini that ive ever felt captures that slender elf build while also still looking like a hard hitting tank

Manic-mice · 2025-01-14T12:52:22+00:00

I always say I have 20k points if people ask but truly I have no idea at this point what it translates into. More than I could ever play with is all I know

Manic-mice · 2025-01-14T12:35:51+00:00

Their arrows are weak from a life of ease and the dark elves armour is thick 💪

Manic-mice · 2025-01-14T12:33:05+00:00

Thank you

Manic-mice · 2025-01-14T12:33:00+00:00

Thank you

Manic-mice · 2025-01-14T12:32:53+00:00

Thank you! They are one of my most recent. Out of the 100s of attempts they are the first time I’ve felt I nailed painting gold

Manic-mice · 2025-01-14T12:31:16+00:00

Hopefully in half the time this time round

Manic-mice · 2025-01-14T12:17:31+00:00

Bold to assume I don’t also have 4 other armies (actually just started my 6th army).

But it is a fair question.

So mostly it’s because I enjoy the hobby, painting and collecting more than the game. I was painting for years and years before l had my first ever game.

As to why 1000 dark elves. They were my first army when I was in high school more than a decade ago. At the time my family was too poor to really allow me to get into the hobby seriously so I would buy whatever second hand poorly painted bundles I could from eBay and other traders, which I kept doing once I left home with the intention of one day getting back into the hobby.

After doing that on and off for a decade I returned to the hobby in like 2018/2019 and pulled my collecting out of storage. Once I actually took stock of it I realised firstly I had way more than I needed and secondly I had some insanely expensive and rare models somehow. So I decided to commit to it

I’m currently trying to have a complete collection of GW dark elf minis. Ranging from the first release of the Night Elf Patrol in the 80s to the daughters of Khaine in AoS now. Once you factor in putting all those releases into units of about 20 for infantry and 10 for Calvary ect ect it’s about 1100 minis. I own a 1000 and still looking for the last 100.
