Also no offense Boomer, but I can't help but think that for your zoanthropes they can only 'think with their balls'

Lol! They are meant to have really big Tyranid spore infected brains! But I know what you mean

Sounds like a fun army, I like running a foot-slogging nurgle horde

Thanks Boomer!

My current army is one I'm working on for 2013 UK Doubles Tournament, the profile for which is here.

To give it the correct, full title, they are the 11th [Machinegun] Company, 56th Krieg Siege Regiment.
Inspired by the British Machinegun Corps of WW1, the idea is that the company is filled with Heavy Bolters, as well as squads of infantry who fetch & carry, help the machinegun sections dig in & protect them when things are getting a bit hairy. The full structure of the company is as follows (check above link for full, Codex army list);

HQ: HQ Section (Company)
Troop: HQ Section (1st Platoon)
Nr. 1 - 3 Infantry Sections
Nr. 1 - 5 Machinegun Sections
Nr. 1 Spotting Section (Marksman + Observers)
Support: Nr. 2 Section, Nr. 6 Troop, 4th Squadron, 111th Krieg Mounted Regiment [Uhlans], 'Deaths Head' Lancers

Everything about this unit is themed around trench/attrition warfare. The uniforms are dark and plain, the Korpsmen in dark greys and the Lancers in blue-grey uniforms. The Lancers are also mounted upon brown Krieg steeds, led by a Commissar mounted upon a neuro-dyed grey Krieg steed. All of the bases will feature mud, bits of debris, duckboards, barbed wire and the like. The Spotting Section will be the one I have most fun with; 3 pairs of Korpsmen; 1 pair mostly submerged in a water-filled shell hole, peering over the top with binocs & scoped No.98 Lucius pattern lasgun, second pair hidden beneath plas-sheets and debris, with only the rifle barrel protruding and the last pair will have the spotter up a small, withered tree with the sniper by a wall below him.

Looking at the list, its full 875pts, you will notice it has 0 AT capability, beyond the Rough Rider Sergeants meltabombs. This role is being taken up by my doubles partner who will be running nothing but AT. Hopefully against infantry I'll have a really deadly list - after all, 51 Heavy Bolter shots per turn? Quite a lot of shooting, plus the lasguns of the infantry to add into the mix.

But yeah. Now I've gone on about it...I'll shut up.

Oh yes, it's all Forgeworld stuff too.

Currently I'm working on a Chaos Marine army called "The Scholars". They're a warband led by Tzeentch Sorcerer Khal'dun, and they value knowledge above all else. They often pull forces of the other gods into their service, such as Berzerkers and Plague Marines, by promising them what they desire most - bloodshed and the opportunity to spread disease. But the leaders are all thoroughly Tzeentch orientated, and the idea is they're master manipulaters who hunger for more and more knowledge, and will do anything, kill anyone or enslave whoever they want in order to achieve this.

I just have a biel-tan army at the moment, my friend who introduced me to wh40k has russian guard(the commissar is a barrel of vodka, they drink from it to regain courage, but then one of them dies of alcohol poisoning ) and is in the process of making redcoat guard. Another guy in my group has daemonic 'nids, he's modelled them with clay defects and stuff like that.

I have a brotherhood of Nod themed IG army, using the greatcoat trooper models from wargames factory as a base. I did a blog on it a while back.
