That idea of a thin layer of resin to simulate a rain-washed street is really cool, particularly with the neon colours underneath... might have to find a project to give that a go on, myself.

The mandrake is one of the best models you have painted so far, if there's one thing cool about art making its doing it over time and seeing how far we've come.

I have the Dark Eldar from 1998, played them until I gave up on playing because Games Workshop kept changing the rules too often. I played 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th editions. Skipped 6th, 7th and 8th. Got back in at the end of 9th, one year before they released 10th. I haven't resurrected my Dark Eldar yet, likely I will when they release the 10th Codex. Then I bet they release 11th rules set in 2026.

Third Edition Drukari lore was so under-developed, that it's hard to even say what the original Mandrake concept was going for. The only things they really had going was their existing in shadows. The whole shadow daemon thing they've got going now just looks so much better. Regarding the old warp beasts, I'd imagine they were largely reworked into the modern Khymerae. They're both slightly feline creatures with sinewy flesh. Similarly, I'd consider the modern Wracks to be the actual successor to the original Grotesques, with the Grotesques being a 05:28 - "Everything came out in plastic" If only that were true... Except for the Voidraven bomber, everything released since 5th edition, has been plastic versions of Metal/Finecast sculpts from 5th edition... and we're still waiting on more. Drukhari are the _only_ army in the game that haven't gained a single new unit option in close to a decade. Even Grey Knights managed to get a new named character. Would love to see Drukhari in the 11th ed starter set, accompanied by a major expansion with brand new units and some of those long absent characters. I still expect it to be some kind of Dark Mech army instead... but if they wanted to tackle another existing faction, Drukhari are probably one of the best contenders out there.
