Well, with the Thousand Sons and Eldar having departed to Sheffield to take to the fight under new generals, I’ve been inspired to think about which armies I should field. I went through my rather extensive collection of remaining space marines, in conjunction with the new terminators from Space Hulk, and worked out a 1500pt army list for Blood Angels, and a further 1500 point list for Ultramarines! Although a fair amount of painting will be needed to get them up and running, the smaller size of the Adeptus Astartes forces makes it a lot, lot easier to put a force together! Indeed, I actually have enough marines left over to put together a third 1500pt army for the Imperatoris Aquilae too!
I also took at look at the Ork hordes, and can (barely) scrape together a 1500pt force of Ork Boyz, Nobz, Deffcoptas and Warbosses. Its around 80 models large, so its going to be quite a ways down the painting list, but the models do look “ded fun n shooty!”
I don’t think Necrons are particularly likely to see the field again, though their unstoppable nature and their mindless desire to massacre all life does make them quite good opponents for a solo game here or there, and I doubt I’ll get the Blood Angels done for Christmas gaming, so the Tau may have to make a final appearance!
As soon as I get some models done, I will have some pictures heading up on the site!
