Speaking of Crystals... More Crystals anyone? Now in BLUE!

I have a buddy that plays Dark Eldar.  Haven't played him in a while, so I thought...it worked in Field of Dreams, why not here... so I built it, and... well I figured I had to show it off at least before getting to play a game with it.

Now that the set is done, I can see I really need more line of sight blocking material, so a set of hills will be in the works shortly for this set.  But here it is.  The idea behind this was to show the corruptible power that the Dark Eldar inflicts on the very earth they reside in.  I started with a rigid, much more natural looking set of crystals and go through the corruption process to really see the warping effects on the more complex pieces.  Made from blue foam mounted on CD bases.  I went with the dark crystal with a blue glow highlight to match my friends paint scheme.

Expansion plans for this set are pretty exciting too.  This set goes perfectly on the Ashen/Stone mat as you can see, and as this set is mostly small/medium pieces, a few centerpiece structures would be good.  I imagine a web-way portal, a very spiky landing platform, and some tall spiky towers to go with the current pieces seamlessly.

Insufficient Crystals - Hey at least we have plenty of Vespene Gas

So everyone and their mother has a few sets of crystals on their tabletop. As I play Necrons, its pretty much a requirement to have some on the board.  Eventually this set will flesh out to become the awakening Tomb-World I have planned, but for now... Just the crystal sets.

Made from Blue and Polystyrene Foam and on my trusty CD bases or mounted on 3mm balsa wood in the case of the rectangular bases.  I made 10 of the circular bases and 4 of the square ones.  Future plan is to make some hills with smaller versions, make a few for the desert set in this color scheme, and eventually make a set of ice crystals for the arctic set.
