I'm sorry I couldn't resist posting this.

Let's just say that I have a good job and I enjoyed treating myself this Christmas.

Has anyone else here ever splurged on the 'Workshop Craziness? This was inspired by Apocalypse but I'm sure I'm not alone. What crazy armies have sprung into being ove rthe lats few months?

This is insanity! This is Madness! THIS.IS.WARHAMMER!

 

[GDMNW]

Yes well

Yes well there are 300 troops here so perhaps I could go spartan...

 

[Diggums Hammer]

Who hooooo!!!!!!

I have to have a secret credit card so that my wife doesn't see my Warhammer purchases!;?

 

[The Toon]

Wow. That is alot of guard. I want to see them all painted.

transport

Ah.....thats bloody crazy!!!!! you sad son of a b!#ch......kids...no really thats crazy, the thought of how do you plan to transport that many men?

280 troops in 14 boxes

24 weapons platforms in 14 boxes

14 plasma and 14 melta in 14 blisters

6 officers in 3 blisters

10 command guys in 2 boxes

372 models total

Let's say you average an hour per guy to paint via assembly line, and you paint 4 hours a day on average 6 days a week (rough average), you could be done by mid-March.

God bless you sir, and good luck.

Also, total price tag for that looks to be $1254 U.S. Quite the treat indeed.

294 models total

Rounding off upwards, this is what it's going to look like. Better start painting and the Emperor's Blessing upon you, because that's one big truckload of cadians.

As far as Christmas shopping went on my side... I bought two boxes of CSM, two defilers, one chaos predator, three chaos rhinoes and one pair of World Eater forgeworld doors, three boxes of khorne berzerkers, 16 additional berzerker helmets, 20 chaos warrior shields, a whole bunch of other similar bits, 8 chaos space marine bikes... but I think your purchase beats mine.

Almost but not quite

280 troops in 14 boxes, 280 Troopers

24 Heavy Weapons Teams in 8 boxes, 48 Troopers

14 Plasma and 14 Melta in 14 blisters, 28 Troopers

6 officers in 3 blisters, 6 Troopers

10 command guys in 2 boxes, 10 Troopers

372 models total

I have added a couple of important changes in bold. What really gives me the giggles is that this is on top of the 1500 point lists that I have been posting in the lists forum. I may not keep all of the stuff this way either. As you can see this stuff has all been left seled so if I decide to abandon the all infantry slant then I can trade some in for a tank or ten...

That is manymuch Guard.

I've kind of done it. At the beginning of the fall, I resolved to order the army I'd decided to create... my Angels Ascendant. I scoured bits pages and had my army list looked at repeatedly, playtested it a bit, etc... I wanted to make sure this army was something I'd use for quite some time. Finally, I ordered it... total of 2000 points, over $1200, a big chunk of the money I'd saved over the summer.

Now, I have a lot of models, and I've weeded them down a bit to a tourney list that I love to use so far. I just need to get them painted decently, and hopefully I'll head down to one of the bigger tourneys this summer with my gaming club!

But I have so much painting to do...

Everyone knows

Everyone knows you die if you paint the last model that you have waiting to be painted. I see this purchase as a sort of life insurance policy.

 

[stayscrunchyinmilk]

I hope you got the Infantry company boxed sets?
I was blessed with a marine company, by my beautiful wife, who'd picked up my latest purchase and taken it into the store, and surprised me. They were my tactical marines i had got to have as demonhunters indentured troops - i thought about doing DH for a laugh / inquisitor conversion bits.
I now play Imperial guard, with Witch hunter / SOB allies AND Marines. when i make them. maybe next year. oops. I love you wifey. xxx

Clearly you plan on living into your mid-180's with purchases like that.

 

[Lil Tweaker]

Hoo-lee crizap!
You have got to start a WIP thread in the projects forum. Make sure you have a paint scheme you like. That is a lot of little men. And my wife almost killed me for buying one little man ...granted, it was a $500 little man.

 

[GDMNW]

:d

I bought one of the very last Marine Battle Companies tonight too. I think you are right. A WIP thread is over due.

Let me go and sort that out.

 

[Imperator100]

That is ALOT of men. You never have to buy Imperial Guard again.

 

[GDMNW]

Haven't you

Haven't you heard the rumours about plastic storm troopers? If that actually happens I may well find myself down at the local GW store shelling out just a little more.

I can't remeber who asked me, but yes, I did just buy several of the company boxes. WHat a deal that was. Shame its over really.
