Perusing The Stuff of legends and later the Collecting Citadel Miniatures Wiki, it has occurred to me, why no pics of the backsides of figures? Booty fetish aside, I'm just as interested in the details on the rear as on the fore, especially impedimenta - important with overloaded figures from Marauder and etc. - and the fineness of mail.
Based on the above page in White Dwarf and the army list for Karasashalla's Reavers, I accumulated 40 of the pseudo-hoplite Dark Elf warriors. I plan on adding/modifying helmet crests, replacing the kopides and the odd straight-edged sword with brass spears, possibly adding scabbards and some Boeotian shields, in addition to the round ones, with a variety of Gorgoneion imagery. Until I saw front and back pics on an eBay listing, after having placed the initial orders with several sellers, had no idea that these warriors were crossbowmen too. Nice of Marauder to offer the equivalent of muskets slung and at the ready, though not sure how the crossbows are slung, as I can't see strapping, unlike with the quivers. Would've preferred the crossbows to be separate, allowing easier conversion, but will now have to work around it, especially if adding a baldric and scabbard.
