Month: July 2023

Hey everybody,
In case it wasn’t obvious from my recent spate of posts, I am really into this whole Aeldari army idea right now! I’ve been plotting and planning how to go about getting this force built almost constantly, and have painted little else since I started getting my army together. After my exhaustive look at my plans for the army last week, I’m still looking through the list of units as to what else I might like to get my hands on, when time and funds allow.

I have included a single Warlock in my main list, but they come in boxes of two as a Warlock Conclave, so I would naturally end up with a pair of them when I eventually get that far into the list. They have the same weapons, with the same stats, but they have slightly different abilities. The Warlock by himself is a leader that can lead either of the Guardians units, but the Conclave doesn’t have the ability to attach to units. Instead, they themselves can be led by a Farseer and, having that guy in with them grants them access to the Protect psychic ability, making the whole unit -1 to hit. They also have a 4+ FNP against psychic attacks, which in fairness is probably going to be something that comes up rarely in my games. I mean, JP has some psychic people in his armies, but not a great deal, and he doesn’t really use them a lot, while James plays Black Templars, who abhor the witch!

I do sort of struggle to see what the point of the Warlock Conclave is. They have a psychic flamer-type weapon, and a psychic spear, which suggests that they want to be in close combat. Their witchblade is anti-infantry 2+, so I feel like they’d be best used as a bit of a scalpel unit, moving against some key unit in the enemy force. Or perhaps they could function as a sort of mini-bodyguard for the Farseer (and Eldrad Ulthran is a Farseer, remember). If there is a character like that making a nuisance of himself, it could be quite useful to have him guarded by a unit of guys who are toting flamers and anti-infantry blades.

To some extent, I’ve been keeping away from the still-finecast Aspect Warriors, because they’re all expected to be replaced in plastic soon enough, and there’s no telling whether their datasheet will remain the same when those new models inevitably come out. Of course, the design team have said that the codexes will largely keep these things the same, but I suppose until we see these things for ourselves, it’s difficult to say. Anyway – Swooping Hawks are an interesting unit, as they don’t have a great deal going on for them, on paper at least. They are armed with lasblasters and close combat weapons – lasblasters remind me of boltguns, S4 AP0 D1, though they are four shots with lethal hits and assault, which is nice. Especially when you see that the Hawks can move 14” to begin with. Potentially moving up to 20” in a turn can be quite spectacular, and their special ability allows them to go into reserves if they’re not in engagement range at the end of your opponent’s turn, meaning they can basically be used absolutely wherever you need them to be. A full unit of 10, making 40 shots from up to 24” away, and any 6s to hit auto-wounding, makes them look pretty good to me.

Their Phoenix Lord is Baharroth, who gives the Hawks +1 to hit, and after they have made their shooting attacks, he lets them make a normal move of up to 6” (though they cannot then charge). Fire and Fade, after already making a potential 20” move and still being able to shoot has got me very excited indeed!   

I think I’m still holding out for the Fire Dragons first, because a melta squad sounds amazing, but Swooping Hawks have also got me really quite excited for the possibilities.

Rangers are a unit that came out of the 2022 mini-refresh, and I see a lot of talk about them online as they appear very cheap for what they can do. 55 points for a five-man squad, with Infiltrators and Stealth, packing a long rifle that has both heavy and also precision, so they’re intended to be the snipers of the army. The rife hits on 3s, and is S4 AP-1 D2, so five of them should be able to do some decent damage against any visible characters within 36”. Their natural leader is Illic Nightspear, a finecast model who gives the unit he is leading the ability to re-roll the wound roll when they make an attack, and also prevents them from being targeted by enemies if they’re more than 12” away.

Somewhat adjacent to the Rangers is Amallyn Shadowguide, originally from the Blackstone Fortress line-up of heroes, and now with 10th edition rules thanks to the recent Warhammer Legends slew of datacards. I had initially hoped she would have some ability to lead Rangers, but sadly not – however, she has the ability to redeploy both Rangers or Shroud Runners, the Forge World-specific Aspect Warriors. Otherwise, she is very much a Ranger herself, albeit with Lone Operative which gives her the same benefit as Illic Nightspear bestows on his unit. It’s Amallyn that has prompted me to start looking at the Rangers, though, because I have her model from BSF. She could of course be used in the army anyway, as a lone operative she doesn’t have a great deal of impact on everybody else, but the ability to redeploy before the battle seems really useful, so it makes some sense to try and get her in with some Ranger friends to make the best use of that ability. In the meantime, though, I am thinking about getting her painted up at some point, if for no other reason than she would be a useful hero for the army I have at the minute, because otherwise my troops are all without a leader!

---

I am incredibly excited for the Aeldari project, and I can’t wait to see how the army performs on the tabletop. In writing this collection of blog posts about it all, I’ve come to realise that I’m actually really excited about the whole idea of it, which is a similar position to how I felt about Drukhari way back in 7th edition (when they were still Dark Eldar). Back then, I wound up buying far too much stuff for that army, and have now found myself in a position where I’m trying to off-load the multitude of kits that I have, because there is simply no need for me to own so many things. I’m therefore trying, as much as I can, to stop myself from getting in the same position here – obviously, I now have kids to think about, so I can’t be throwing my money at GW with wild abandon as I used to! But while I think it would be good to have one of every unit in the codex, I don’t think I’m going to simply buy it all up and then see where I am. Planning things out as I have been, and painting things up as I get them, is the best way to go about it in my view, so I will keep chugging along with things for the time being.

On that note, keep an eye out later in the week for a bit of an Aeldari painting catch-up! I’m hoping to get my Corsairs finished in the next couple of days, so will have a post about them soon!

Hey everybody,
I’ve been thinking a lot about building my Aeldari army lately, and indeed, have been focusing my painting pretty much entirely on that whole process, as I have been aiming to get all of those models that I have for the force painted. Admittedly, I don’t have a lot right now, but even so, I want to ensure that I have got everything painted before I move on to buying yet more plastic. When that glorious time comes, though, I want to make sure that I’m buying the right stuff, and not risking a repeat of the Dark Eldar process of just buying everything, then ending up with a massive pile of shame. By planning out the army that I intend to build towards, I think that should help to keep me under control!

I’ve written two lists – well, one list, but broken down, if that makes sense. So I’m aiming ultimately to have a 2000 point army, so have split it in half, making sure the first half is a fully playable force. That way, I should be able to play games with it while I’m building towards the other half. So let’s take a look!

One of my principal goals with this is to get a sort of “classic” Aeldari army – I’m not going for some kind of specialist force, like all-bikes or all-Wraith or something. It’s got a bit of everything, for good or ill. I know the meta right now seems to be all about Wraithknights, but I don’t want my first Aeldari army to basically be three giant models and nothing else – I want to collect some of these beautiful miniatures, and feel like I have a good-looking force on the table.

Something that I’ve learnt about myself over the years playing 40k is that I actually enjoy a good mix of unit types in my armies, and I dislike copy-paste units. I know sometimes you’ll need to have multiple units of course, but I like a flexible variety wherever I can. I also really enjoy having a wide range of unit types in terms of their role and size, so bikes, vehicles and infantry. These principles are behind the current list-building, although added in to this is the fact that I want to keep it all-plastic, so have avoided any of the older finecast models for now!

So let’s take a look at how this all breaks down. Get yourself a cuppa, because this is a very long post!

The Aeldari army rule is Strands of Fate, which allows you to roll 12 dice before the battle, and use these as a pool much like Sisters and Miracle Dice – as the battle goes along, you can use one of these fate dice to substitute for a dice roll once per phase. You must make the substitution before rolling, however, so you can’t roll and then decide you don’t like it – it is a bit of a gamble, in that sense! A few of the units in this list interact with this rule in different ways, so it’s useful to know! The detachment rule allows units to re-roll one hit roll and re-roll one wound roll during an attack, shooting or melee, as well.

The first half of the list involves two units of troops, one of which will be in a transport. I have two units of jetbikes, along with a character on the same, a small unit of more elite troops, a big centrepiece and a couple more characters. In terms of purchases, it is two characters, a vehicle, and the combat patrol box, so it doesn’t require a great deal more because I already own some Guardians and some Corsairs. At retail price, this will set my back £180, but hopefully I can get a couple of these from the local store and save some money-pounds! 

While it makes sense to buy the Combat Patrol box, because it’s a good deal for the models inside, the jetbikes wouldn’t necessarily be top of my list for this early in the army build. They’re great looking models, don’t get me wrong, and I would probably want some sooner or later, as they are great for objective-grabbing in the game. Each model has OC2, and they can re-roll their hits against a target that is sat on an objective. So they have some utility, and a 14” move is not to be sniffed at, either! I think it’s something of a problem with these sorts of boxes, though, where GW is building my army for me – while that’s helpful when you’re just starting out, I do like to have more control!

The Wave Serpent is the big transport for the army, with a capacity of 12 models, and it comes with a twin shuriken cannon and twin shuriken catapult, both of which can be altered to suit different purposes. I’m going to use this for transporting my Storm Guardians, I think – the more melee-focused version of the basic troop choice. Storm Guardians all come with pistols and close combat weapons, but up to 2 of them can have a flamer, and up to 2 of them can have a meltagun. They have the “sticky objectives” ability, so once they control an objective it remains under their control even after they move away, until it is taken by the enemy. So I could see these guys going up the field to get control of objectives before harassing the enemy in close combat. They get a 5+ invuln save thanks to the little weapon platform they have, so they would hopefully hang around for a bit, and with OC2 they shouldn’t have an issue taking objectives.

I’m going to stick the Farseer in with these Storm Guardians, because he has the nice defensive psychic ability Fortune, which makes a friendly unit within 12” -1 to hit, so with his unit being so far up the field, I think that could be useful. He also has the ability to use a fate dice and automatically change it to a 6 before use. This ability is shared by the Farseer Skyrunner, who I’m chucking in with the Windriders, but he also has the Guide psychic ability, which allows a friendly unit within 12” to re-roll their hit roll. I have to admit, I’m not sure why this is going to be useful when the detachment rule allows you to do this as well – clearly, when the codex comes out and we have new detachments, it could well come into its own, but for now, it seems a bit redundant. But it is a useful clue to have when we’re thinking how codexes are going to look – presumably, these datasheets aren’t actually going to change very much, in terms of their abilities like this.

The other character in the list is Eldrad Ulthran, who is principally there because he lets you roll an additional 3 fate dice at the start of the battle, which sounds like an amazing utility! He also has a sniper-like psychic attack, and the psychic ability Doom which lets you target an enemy unit within 18” – on a 2+, each time a friendly unit targets that unit, they get +1 to wound. I’m throwing him in with the unit of Guardian Defenders, because it feels like he should be kept a bit further back, and can be used almost as a backline sniper. The Guardians themselves all have shuriken catapults, which are also 18” range, so it makes sense to keep them with Eldrad. If they control an objective, then you can add a fate dice back into your pool (rolling it first) during the Command phase, so that’s nice to keep the pool going.

I have five Corsair Voidscarred in the list, mainly because I already have the models for them and they should be quite useful in terms of what they can do – they have the ability to select an enemy unit at the start of the battle, and gain lethal hits and precision when targeting that unit. The Voidscarred are the slightly more elite choice of Corsairs, and they have the rules for all of the Kill Team upgrades like the bird and the psykers, etc. While I’m intending to paint the whole unit of 10 up regardless, I think when it comes to playing games with this list, I will be using the bird-guy and the soul weaver – the lady with all those channeller stones – because they give the unit ignores cover, and the ability to change damage to 0 when you fail a save, respectively. Otherwise, this unit is equipped with swords and pistols, but I’m planning to keep them back with the Guardians and Eldrad, because I think they could function as a useful bodyguard-type unit (although not a Bodyguard Unit in terms of the 10th edition rules).

The final piece of the first part of my list is the Wraithlord. He’s a nice, big centrepiece-type unit that has some very interesting weapon options, and the ability to equip quite a lot of said weapons. He comes with two shuriken catapults as standard, and these can be replaced with flamers if you prefer. He can additionally take a ghostglaive, which is quite a powerful melee weapon, and he can additionally take one heavy weapon such as a shuriken cannon, bright lance or starcannon. I’ve become a big fan of the starcannon – the Aeldari version of a plasma cannon. The Wraithlord also comes with the ability to re-gain fate dice every time he destroys an enemy unit, which is quite useful.

I do like this particular army build, anyway. There is a lot of variety, which I always like to have, and some very useful abilities doing the rounds, so I feel good about this half of the list. And this is what I had been hoping for – I’m excited about building up the Aeldari army, regardless, but I am excited for this particular list, as well, so that’s really nice.

But let’s move on to the second half of the build. This is a slightly more expensive part, probably due to the fact there is no combo-box yet like the combat patrol, so I’m having to buy it all individually. £256.50 for the lot, if I pay the full retail price, so hopefully I can either get that cheaper at a local store, or else there could be an Aeldari battleforce box for Christmas that helps me to save a bit! They didn’t have anything last year, in fact they haven’t had any battleforce box since 2018, so I think that could mean it’s time for one!!

I knew, going into this army project, that I wanted an Avatar of Khaine. The model is huge and glorious, and one of my favourite 40k models for sure. At nearly 300 points, though, it’s also quite the points-sink, but is even more of a centrepiece model than the Wraithlord, and I just couldn’t not have one. It’s interesting, really, because my usual approach to starting an army would be to leave something like this for a while. I suppose, though, that would be the old way of army building, where you need your troops and your HQs. At any rate, the Avatar is a brutal monster that halves all incoming damage as he strides along the battlefield, somehow shooting with his sword before getting into melee, where he can do six attacks at S14 AP-4 Dd6+2, or twelve attacks at half of that. He also gives friendly models within 6” a +1 bonus to advance and charge rolls, so could work well alongside the Storm Guardians if they’re trying to burst into melee. At toughness 12 and with 14 wounds, I think he might be a problem for the enemy to deal with, but I suppose we’ll see! 

The Warlocks are a curious unit. They are warriors who have left the path of the warrior to follow their psychic potential. Warlocks have a weird kind of psychic flamer weapon, as well as a spear that can be used in the shooting phase because it too is a psychic weapon. They can attach to units that already have a leader, so I’m going to put mine in with the Storm Guardians because of his psychic ability Runes of Fortune, which allows you to add a flat 6” to the move characteristic of the unit he is in rather than make an advance roll. The Runes of Fortune also has the ability to subtract 2 from enemy charges coming at the unit, which would potentially be useful for the Guardian Defenders as an additional defence, but I want to see how this guy holds up in melee first. 

The Autarch is the general of the Aeldari army, so you might be thinking it a bit odd that he’s not in the first half of the list. Well, I suppose it was just a question of points, really, but I already have a fair few characters in that first half! The Autarch is a lovely new plastic model, and in true representation of the lore, has the ability to take a variety of wargear due to his legacy of having worked through each of the aspect shrines in turn. He can use the ranged weapon of the Dark Reapers, the Warp Spiders or the Fire Dragons, as well as the melee weapon of the Howling Banshees or the Striking Scorpions. It’s a very customisable kit, and I’m not entirely sure yet how I’d like to equip him. His abilities grant a bonus command point in my Command phase, and once per turn he can target his unit with a stratagem even if it has already been used that phase. I think I will most likely throw him into the Guardian Defenders unit, kicking Eldrad out at this point, and give him the Dragon fusion gun (melta). Eldrad can then hang around with the Corsairs as an informal screen for him while he does his thing, but all of them can probably hang out in one big blob, I reckon.

I’ve also given the Autarch an enhancement, The Weeping Stones, which gives him an ability similar to the Wraithlord, adding a fate dice to the pool every time he destroys a unit. Hopefully with a meltagun, that won’t be too difficult!

Speaking of Corsairs, I have a full unit of the Voidreavers in this second half of the list. These are the more basic troops type, and while they all come stock the same as their Voidscarred brothers, you can equip all of these guys with shuriken rifles instead of pistols and swords, which opens the gates for swapping a rifle for a heavy weapon – I’ve gone for the wraithcannon, more for aesthetics, but it is a massive S14 AP-4 Dd6 weapon, albeit one-shot. The shuriken rifle is a bit like a basic bolter, but for ever five models in the unit, one can replace their rifle for a blaster or a shredder. I feel at home with these weapons, being Drukhari staples – indeed, while the Corsairs are a blend of Aeldari and Drukhari, I think the helmet options in the kit make them look far more like the dark kin, even if their armour still has all the curves and stuff that the Craftworlders have. The Voidreavers can re-roll hit rolls of 1 natively, and when targeting an enemy on an objective they can re-roll the whole hit roll – much like the Windrider jetbikes, they seem to be made for objective-grabbing. They also have the Scouts 7” rule, so can make a pre-game move that can help get them in position. Hopefully, then, these guys can do some good work out there!

So far, we have got two of the Aspect Warriors kits released in glorious new plastic, although the Dire Avengers are already in somewhat old plastic now. Of the two new kits, though, the Dark Reapers are perhaps my favourite, so I’ve gone with getting some of those into my list first. These guys have got the ability to ignore any and all modifiers to the ballistic skill when shooting, so any enemy units that are -1 to hit are ignored, which is nice. Their guns are the massive reaper launcher, 48” range ignores cover, with a dual profile that allows for either one punchy shot, or two fairly powerful shots. The exarch has the option for being equipped with a missile launcher, shuriken cannon or a tempest launcher instead – the missile launcher is quite nice, as it has the same long range, but the tempest launcher sounds like fun, making 2D6 attacks, though at a slightly smaller range.

I’m putting these guys in the Falcon, the Razorback of the Aeldari. This can transport up to 6 models, and in the shooting phase, if the unit that disembarks from it also shoots the same target as the Falcon, then they can re-roll the wound roll. So I think the transport could get them into optimum position, before then everyone gets out and they start their offensive. I think it would be interesting to see how all of that would work out, anyway!

The final bunch in the list is the Wraithguard and Spiritseer. Now, when I first started talking about the Eldar on my blog, I said that I had never considered an army of them before, due to the old models and finecast issues, but that isn’t entirely true, I’ve come to realise. Back in the day, when I was first getting into the hobby, I used to watch and re-watch the videos on the different paints, with a very young-looking Duncan, and the model he used to demonstrate the base paints was a Wraithguard. I can remember thinking, well that looks cool – if I start an Eldar army, maybe I could use those instead of Guardians? That was pretty much how far it went, but still!

The Wraithguard are big models, and they come either with wraithcannons or D-scythes. I think in the fullness of time, I would like a squad of each, but for the moment, I’m leaning heavily towards the wraithcannon – it’s only one shot each, but S14, AP-4 and Dd6 with devastating wounds could be, well, devastating. They have a pretty great ability where they can shoot back at an enemy unit after that unit has finished making its attacks. That in itself is good, but then we also get the fact that their weapons gain the pistol ability, so even if an enemy unit charges them, they can fire those wraithcannons in close combat! Toughness 7, 3 wounds each, they should be able to take a bit of a hit, I would think, especially with that 2+ save.

What makes them more durable still is the Spiritseer, who grants the unit he leads +1 to hit rolls and gives their weapons lethal hits, but he can also return one destroyed model to that unit in the Command phase. It’s quite a deadly combo really, and I think it could make for quite a tanky unit. Otherwise, the Spiritseer is pretty unremarkable, but I am very excited to see how that combo could work out!

I realise that this post has already gone on far too long, but I want to talk about stratagems before I finish. There are some very interesting options here. Feigned Retreat lets you fall back and still shoot and charge, which is very useful if the wrong unit gets caught in close combat. Matchless Agility lets you add 6” to the movement of a unit instead of advancing, just like the Warlock’s ability. Fire and Fade allows you to move-shoot-move, though you cannot then declare a charge. It’s 2CP, but could be absolutely worth it for a high value shooting unit like the Dark Reapers or the Wraithguard, to get them into range, then get them into safety rather than moving into the open to take their shots. Bladestorm improves the AP by 2 on a critical wound in the shooting phase, which is quite nice on something like Guardian Defenders, where you’re making a high number of attacks so likely to get a lot through, but they don’t have much else going for them. Phantasm allows you to move a friendly unit up to 7” at the end of your opponent’s movement phase, letting you pull a key unit out of harm’s way if need be. Finally, Lightning-Fast Reactions makes a non-Wraith unit -1 to hit when your opponent targets them in the shooting or fight phase, which is a nice defensive ability that could be very useful.

If it wasn’t clear already, I really like how this army is looking, and it has got me really excited to build and play with them. I’m having to hold myself back a bit, mainly because I am not made of money, but I also don’t want to find myself drowning in a sea of plastic. Having 20 Corsair models to paint (ten of which are already coming along well, thank you for asking) is probably my limit for the time being, so I don’t want to find myself with more and more in the pile of shame. I’m quite happy to just buy and build/paint, then buy and build/paint, although something tells me I could well be buying the models for the first half of the list before too long, just so I can start playing some games with these guys.

I’ve spent a very long time talking through all of the units that I want to get so that I have a 2000 point army, but I can’t help looking through the index of what else is available for the Aeldari, and it has got me thinking even more long-term about what I would like to get.

One of the things I liked the look of was the Autarch Wayleaper, which is the Autarch with wings. I think this is one of the things I might get once I am at full capacity with my Aeldari, so I have the option to swap him in to replace the regular Autarch. It wouldn’t feel right to have both of them, after all! I would like to get Maugan Ra to lead the Dark Reapers, as he grants +1 to the hit roll of the unit he is leading, and has a pretty good big gun, himself.

I know it’s a bit cheesy right now, but I do like the idea of the Support Weapons platforms, they’re a bit like the heavy weapons team for the Guard. They also have the ability to make any unit that was hit by their attacks -1 to hit for the rest of the round. They have some interesting weapons options as well, so that could be interesting, and they come as a gunner and a single Guardian model, which is a bit weird. But I think they could perform a function, so I’m intrigued!

I’m also intrigued by the Vyper, which is a bit like a heavy bike, with a gunner in the back a bit like the Harlequins bikes, they have the usual array of options such as bright lance and scatter laser, but I think it could be useful to have a couple flying around in support with the Windriders – their ability essentially removes cover from any unit that they hit (they don’t have to inflict any wounds to activate this). So that’s quite interesting.

There are only two vehicles in the list, and I do find myself thinking about including more. The Fire Prism seems to be an auto-include in all of the lists I’m seeing online right now, but I am more intrigued with the Night Spinner, whose cannon has the ability to decrease the movement of enemy units when it hits them. That’s something that I could see being quite handy. The thing that always bothers me a little bit with tanks like this is how big they are, and how big a target they consequently become, in relation to what they actually do. These things basically have two guns, a big cannon that might only be 3 shots, and a standard shuriken catapult like the Guardians. It feels like a big investment, both of money and of points, for what could be a small return, as a lot of the games I play involve a lot of infantry. Though there is something for shooting a massive cannon into a daemon prince… So while I would like to see about getting some more vehicles, I don’t think they’re a priority for me right now.

Now, these next models are all currently finecast and old, and some of them aren’t actually available to buy right now anyway, being part of GW’s made to order range rotation. Prince Yriel is top of my list here, as he can lead the Corsairs and give them +1 to their OC, but also he has the same ability as the Genestealer Primus, redeploying up to three units once deployment is complete. He’s also a really cool-looking model, and I think he’s one of the later finecast models where he looks great, if you manage to get one with no miscasts! I know a lot of the finecast range was made with the metal moulds, so some of those earlier kits were horrible, but he looks a lot like he might be a great model with some very crisp detail.

If GW intend to re-do all of the aspect warriors in glorious plastic, then I really hope the Fire Dragons are next on their list. These are the meltagun guys, so melta is always very nice. Their dragon fusion guns are melta 3, so if they can shoot something within 6” they’ll be inflicting D6+3 damage, and if they’re shooting a monster of vehicle in that range, they can re-roll wound and damage rolls of 1, which is very useful! Their Phoenix Lord is Fuegan, who gives Fire Dragons +1 to hit, and he also has the ability to come back to life on a 2+ the first time he is destroyed. So that could be fun, assuming these units keep their rules when the come over to the plastic side.

But all of this is just my random thoughts for the future. I don’t know when I could actually be looking at completing this army project, because it feels like there could be a lot of work ahead, not just for the first part of my 1000 points list, but also when I think about all of the other stuff that I already have that still needs some attention! I have come a very long way, in all fairness, in selling off a lot of the stuff that I have decided is just clogging my painting queue, so I feel really good about that side of things. But I still have a large number of models to finish painting for my various armies, so it would be good to get those finished as well. It should all work out well, though, if the Aeldari do end up with a battleforce box for Christmas, as odds are I won’t be in a position to be launching my phase two offensive until around then anyway, but would at least know what’s coming because they usually get announced November-time.

I believe they have said that every codex release will be coming with new models, so there’s the cue for those finecast things to get re-made in plastic, but from what we know so far, Aeldari aren’t due to get a codex until Summer 2024 at the earliest, so there’s quite some time for me to consolidate my riches! 

Anyway, this blog has hit 4,500 words now, so I really need to stop typing and wrap things up! If you stayed til the end, then not only are you a wonderful person, but you deserve a biscuit. If you skipped to the end, well… I can’t say as I blame you, really! At any rate, this is an army project that has got me really excited, and I can’t wait to get the models and get playing some games with them!
