People might think I am mad. But I collect a lot of armies. The majority of them are Human.
I guess I like to paint human miniatures. And well I can relate to them as they are human, so when sent into battle armed with a lasgun or a sword and shield I can understand the horror in a way. Just love the idea of Humans fighting aliens or deamons or Iron clad dwarves. And winning against the odds.
So I have been working rather a lot recently on my Imperial guard army. Some 176 fighting men and and 5 vehicles (so far!) and have nearly reached 50% completion. Yes dodging the platoon at the moment, and converting some Guardsmen veterans with shotguns. But it is going to be a nice army when I get it finished. All red and bone. Mind I have also been using browns and blue-greys too!
The Command Squad, the Hero that is well me in games.
And every army needs a special or named hero for me that is Yarrick
In the in the past have always stayed away from Special Characters. Not sure why, maybe it is the fact that the Characters are, meant to be you in battle, and Special or Named ones have their own histories and stories etc.
But I have been painting and gaming with Named characters over the past few months. There seems to be an extra level of fun to my games.
Just a stroll in my cerebral cortex's.
