Huzzah for another Winter Guard army! Poor guy.
Glad to see the full MW deployment worked as planned!

“I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.”
― Thomas A. Edison
I dont view this battle as a horrible tragedy, but found a strategy that didnt work, hopefully it doesnt take me 10000 to find that though...and the reason my list is fairly upgraded is that 1)in the past i have gotten by very good on the list and 2)i dont have any primer in madison and so have no way to paint any other tanks really, so will probably have to wait a while before i can expand the list.
also, are winter guard armies common? im gonna be pissed if they are because i thought that mine was sort of original, that would be a buzzkill

No.
Which is why I celebrate them, as my own Guard is winter guard.

Done and done. I must admit that I always thought this was the best view of this figure, even though you miss more than half the detail that way. I suspect this one will have a long run.
But graven... that avatar is much to steely and scary to be you! As long as Yggsie doesn't change... all is right with the world.
@fatty: My eldest really likes your avatar... but then he's still susceptible to "cute". I'm sure it'll bring him to a bad end when he gets old enough to date.

I had pet rats when I was a kid. Benji and well... Benji (2). Neither made it too long as they're lab rats and predisposed to develop tumors, but Benji 1 lasted several years and Benji 2 lasted a couple, maybe a bit more.

yeah but some how i don't find his mantis warrior as good as yours. i think its becuase he just wants something quick to paint. just a great paint job isnt all what makes a model awesome.
on another point yeah as soon as my own custom warboss is ready i will change my avatar

Well, it is interesting that the things he doesn't like about the old MWs are pretty much what I do like and visa-versa with the new ones. I find the drab new scheme quite dull even though he does an excellent job of painting it. That's the cool part about the hobby though... we can have very different views on the same chapter and both come up with something legitimate. Though I imagine GW would like his version much better than mine.
