Why did I start my army?
Somewhere in the early 00's I discovered
WHFB, and started out with Warriors of Chaos, because they were the coolest. I liked the fat armor and big axes. After a loooong break I returned last year, this time trying
40k. And those big suits of armour, horned helmets and big axes still appealed to me, so
CSM was the natural choice. Then I read up on the fluff, and discovered that I actually like that as well. No other armies really appeal to me at the moment, I'm quite picky.
Does it have a theme?
My first batch of
CSM were Red Corsairs. I was going to write up my own legion at first, but the concept of Huron Blackheart's space pirates appealed more to me. Unfortunately I didn't know much else about the Legion, what their tactics and preferred units and such were, so I ended up with a really mixed up army that wasn't super fun to play. I needed structure, guidelines. So I took another short break, bought me some Plague Marines and discovered they're awesomely more fun to paint! So I started over with a Death Guard list that I'm still working on. I just got the
FW conversion sets for marines and termies so I'm really excited about them.
Does it have a back story?
Well, the Death Guard have a pretty long story, and I like it as it is. I'll try to work in Typhus' old Death Shroud squad, though. His elite
TDA bodyguards. Also his horde of plague zombies are modelled after various Guardsmen models, from previous battles that he's dragged along as plague hosts.
Usually I like to work in fluffy things, like each marine's personality and such, but it's much harder with Death Guard, since they're all rotting fatsoes without any charisma. Do you have any suggestions?
Do I still like my army?
Well, as mentioned there isn't much fluffy stuff to personalize my own army from, other than a plague-ridden wall of death, which is exactly what the Death Guard are. I haven't played with it yet, but I try my best to make it as fun to play with, and against, as possible. It might be
OP at first glance, but I've left several weak spots in it for my opponents to find.

So fluff-wise, I don't like it that much. Gaming-wise I think I will love it, though.
