This is the first in a series of showcase articles, each displaying parts of the FlashGitz' armies. First up is Virus and his Dark Elf army for Warhammer Fantasy Battles.
Phil has been collecting Dark Elves on and off for several years. Its most recent incarnation has grown beyond anything that has preceded it; at last count, it weighed in at just over six thousand points, and that's not counting special characters and magic items!
In typical style for Virus, many of the units in the force are at least partly converted. The example shown here is just one of three War Hydras; he has two of the older models, and one from the newer release. The model has had some of its heads repositioned by careful application of a hobby saw, a little brute force and some green stuff. The creature has also been mounted on a crest of slate, and the end result is quite striking.
The handlers have also been converted, one of them now carrying a pair of whips. The 'anime'-like hair colour is something of a recurring theme amongst the army, and the colours range in places from the mint green seen here, to blue, to pink. When asked why he went in that particular direction, Virus simply gave the answer: "Why not?" It looks good arrayed on the battlefield, however, and at the end of the day what more could you want?
