I have always loved these models and even at 14 years old they still look great.

Mortis Engine
When the new Vampire Counts book dropped I knew I needed one of these models. It's a very strong presence on the table due to it's abilities and the sheer size of the model.
Justin's Warlocks
These are just 2 of the 10 or so he has done work on and the 2 that are finished. There are another 8 or so in the works, plus 2 Farseers.

WIP Dark Eldar
Updating my 14 year old Dark Eldar collection is on a slow but steady pace.
In total I have done 3 Raiders and 3 Ravagers. They are of similar paint schemes that I did back in '98, but with much more highlighting. The vehicles themselves went rather quickly, it is painting the crew members that I have taken me more time.
Along with the 4 Venoms I purchased a box of Kabalites mainly to make Blaster equipped Trueborn. I really like these new models. They are a much better model than the old Dark Eldar Warriors.
I wanted my 3 Trueborn units to all look distinct. One of them are new style Kabalites, another is old style warriors, and the third are old style Incubi with Blaster/Shredder models. This still needs some work seeing as the old model had a rather bulky helmet and this with have just a plain head. Most likely I will take some greenstuff and make a high collar so it doesn't look so odd.

I painted this Wyche along with 9 others back when GW re-released the Wyche models in a new 10 man package. Not sure why I bought the box seeing as at the time I hadn't played the army in years, but I am glad that I did. I am not a fan of the new Wyche model and with a bit of updating paint scheme and style wise these are very serviceable miniatures.
An OOP Archon and Urien Rakarth. I was always a fan of the Urien model and always hated the Archon model. I thought a more modern painting style would make him look better. I think it does, but it's still a rather crappy model. Whereas Urien still looks cool after 14 years.
