Dark Elves






A young Mengal Manhide pays a visit to a neighbouring settlement, within a month he will be it's new King. I have a real soft spot for the old pre-slotta Dark elves. They were designed by the perry's way back in 1984, but I didn't get around to collecting them until 1986, by which time they were all being re sculpted and suck on plastic bases. I managed to pick a couple up on eBay last month but they cost me dear. For some reason they remind me of my childhood more than any other figure range, which is odd because I only had a few.

Agreed. I wish I'd never sold mine.

Talk about a flood of memories. Fortunately I managed to hang on to roughly 95% of my D&D figures from my youth.

Lovely! I am lucky enough to still have most of my Dark Elves from this range plus the old Mengil Manhide regiment. Great stuff.
