Well, aren't I just the fellow who hates the bandwagon.

When GW gave us Dark Eldar, I made a small Eldar army... now that Grey Knights are all the rage, I've dedicated myself to heresy

Anyhoo, I'm excited and eager (despite the crushing presence of exams) to get to work on some fairly cheap units I've secured... Totalling a 1500 point entirely Nurgle-centric list.

Even if the daemons are bland in Codex: CSM.

That's nice...

Sorry, I'm being a little kid and trying to vent my enthusiasm somewhere.

And again with the triple dot!

Nope...

Ah I see what the op means.

I picked up a hybrid mech/biker iron hands spaz marines force around christmas. mainly to be as fast as I could and run something interesting.

I've contemplated picking up my tallan imperial guard when the tau codex gets re-done.

I've been looking at an eldar army for some time.

In fantasy, I've been wanting to make a foot soldier based Britannia force, with minimum calvary.

I mean I have tau, orks, CSM and vanillia iron hands. Not exactly the most up to date books, yet I still can't seem to paint everything, hahahha

Any thoughts on this as a colour scheme for the non-Death Guard marines?

Sorry, it's not showing up, so can't comment.

I'm starting up an Eldar army and thinking of Tau and Necs, so yeah, I go for underdogs.

Excellent.

I may rid myself of my SM someday and then be able to say wholeheartedly (barring my IG) that none of my armies are "default" choices

PRAISE ELITISM!

...I always imagine Grandfather Nurgle as Father Christmas. One day I'm gonna mod and paint that. Oh yes, I will.

Along with the grot carolers.

But make sure you show us when you're done.

Absolutely.

The "Orks suck" mentality made me start taking them to tournaments. After suitably dominating, I retired them for Dark Eldar (the old ones) because no one brought them to tournaments. And now that they have suitably dominated, I'm using Necrons. Presuming they get a new codex in 6 months or so, I'm not sure what to turn to next....I can't think of a bigger underdog than Necrons.

Certainly, hell, here's an awful pic (my camera likes to make my models look pink) of my first Chaos model:


I'll post more as it gets done

Witch Hunters? I've never even seen them...

Though I have been told that they are competitive at times.

But a good constraint is to be a fluff nazi; the reason that my army is going to be a mix of renegades and Death Guard is because the DG don't have any non-possessed/non-Nurglite-commanded vehicles...

And walking slowly towards the enemy with a 100% Plague Marine army (there are no non-PMs in the DG) doesn't sound competitive to me.

This would have been better suited to a painting and modeling blog where you posted pictures like the one above.

This thread wasn't intended to be showcasing

I'll likely make a new one when I actually have, y'know, moar stuff.

I don't know how you feel about irony but if you start playing SW in a year or 2...

OT:Nice work on the Nurgle fellow.

Thanks, your praise earns you forgiveness for the triple dotting.

Oh, and you get kudos for teaching me what they're called... ellipsis.... ellipsis *commits to memory*

I hopped on the Underdog bandwagon too....


when i bought my GKs like 2 years ago

now theres a bunch of Bandwagon jumpers on here, but thats ok cause they'll be gone in 6 months or so

Aurelia got Dark Eldar (she'd been waiting years for new models mind) and I got an Eldar force.

Now my Wraithlord can charge into the fight and watch as Poisoned attacks rip him to pieces.

You'd really think that wraith constructs would be immune to poisons lol.
