Fantastic army! Really! And very large!
Not compared to my 20+K of Eldar.
Squats are rare. I keep an eye on them on ebay. They are offered once in a while but never in large quantities. It must have cost you a fortune and quite some time to find and get all these minis.
I started my last project almost five years ago by collecting models, which was a daunting task.
Five years? And I always thought that I was slow with my own projects.
It is not me being slow actually, but that they are so rare. It took me a few years just to gather enough models to actually get started on this, and while I was beginning to model/paint these guys I was on the lookout for the final pieces I was missing. Right now I am only missing the Exo-armour Hearthguards on bikes, but they are so rare I don't want to spend a fortune getting them. My normal bikers are enough.
You must be a very patient man.
You have no idea.
Is this a gaming army? If so what rules will you use? 2nd Ed. or the fan made codex that could be found on the internet?
It is indeed a gaming army. I have run it through a few tournaments as Marines actually, and using Scouts as troops I can model most of the pieces in, but it lacks a lot of flavour. No, I use
these rules for them, and playtesting has been
long and oftentimes
very messy. That list has gone through a LOT of testing, but only two battles are up on it currently. My opponent has the stomachflu, so no game last weekend, nor this one.
The next project starts in... 25 hours. The blog will awaken...
