I guess we are thinking along the same lines then
Ill grab some pics of my squig based gobbo's later (squig riders, squig chariots, squigapault etc)

I would be going for min core units with maxed out squigs.




On a note here, ive seen tons of people say DKoK.
Whats the catch with them?
Seems every man and his dog are in love with these models.
I just dont see the spark with them myself

if money wasnt a deterrant, i would do a 9k plus point Planetstrike Guard army...

basically, it goes like this:

Command Squad x2 in chimeras(one with straken, one with Creed/Kell)
a Lord Commissar
8 Infantry Platoons, with maximum number of squads, max number of heavy weapon squads, max number of special weapons squads, all in Chimera Transports
2 Storm Trooper squads
Valkyrie squadron with 2 Valkyries
1 Leman Russ Squadron with a demolisher and 2 punishers (w/ upgrades)
1 Leman RUss Squadron with 3 Battle Tanks (upgrades and Pask
2 Full Basilisk Batteries
2 Full Colossus Batteries.

There was actually more to this army, but Army builder, where this list is stored got updated, and so deleted some units. Also, again, if money was no issue, this would be a full DKK army.

Additionally, i would do the Entire Iron Snakes Chapter of Marines.

If money is no issue, I'd buy the company and reorganize the studio.

Sure I might not have a cool army, but I'm sure I could get one painted and it'd be fun to blow a fortune trying all my wacky ideas like open-sourcing rules.

Working on someting you'll either love or hate. Hopefully to be revealed by November.

This is my life's mission with warhammer. Before I die I will have the entire Dark Angels Chapter. I already have the 3rd company (working on getting them pro-painted). I just need some more vehicles to flesh it out. I have 25% of the Deathwing (pro-painted) and 40% of the Ravenwing (pro-painted). I will be buying a thunderhawk gunship after I get back from this deployment. When I have the entire chapter, I am going to take some pictures, write up a nice letter, and email/mail them to JJ and GW. At that point, I hope they do a special feature in WD about lunatics like myself, who have spent their whole life collecting that many models. =D

Then Id have a buddy choose an army and play multi-game a campaign where casualties and vehicles stay dead and keep damage.

Make a Star Wars themed Walker army. Sentinels as Chicken Walkers, Leman Russ converted to be AT-ATs. Some army with Gas masks (Death Korps?) To be infantry.

The question is.... with how horrible your standard stormtrooper shoots, are they Infantry or Conscripts?

If money was no problem I would probably hire some really professional graphics artists like the people who made the DoW 2 intro or maybe the artists over at Blizzard entertainment and have them sculpt 3d models for my Sisters of Battle army. Then have them 3d printed and molds made out of them and cast in plastic (or titanium if I wanted to be silly, or perhaps white gold). Then I would have them painted by some of the worlds greatest miniature painters.

Id pay GW a gakload of money as well to update the Sisters of Battle codex (2ed if you dont know about the SoB codex).

Ah, I can dream cant I. Would prolly cost 50 000 - 100 000 just for the army.
