Ive been staring longingly at "not epic 40k" miniatures from Vanguard for a very long time now, wanting to do a full 6x4 Imperial sector with two large Heresy armies.

After I purged all my failed projects recently (a huge relief btw) I've had to come to terms with myself with my hobby ambitions. Like you say above, its either all in on enough for 2,or I don't do it at all, saving the much needed money for existing armies. Its been a pretty satisfying approach so far, and allowed me to make a lot of progress on Battlegroup armies.

All in, I think I need about $400 to do 6mm 40k properly. Unfortunately, that's just too much money to spend on toys at the moment.

Aaaaannnd I ordered some terminators....

For many years I dreamed of 15mm scale Warhammer 40K using some variant of Squad Leader rules.

Damn that 40k/ASL project is awesome!

I have some 15mm 40k stuff from Vanguard, but decided their 6-8mm stuff would probably better get me to where I want to go. After reading thru this thread I decided to finally start pursuing my grand scale 40k project, even though I will be violating my own rule of buying things piece meal. It's something I've been dreaming about for a year now, so I feel confident at this point that it is not just an impulse.

With this economic stimulus package on the horizon in the US, I got a feeling that a lot of these projects may actually come to life

Two more projects Ive always dreamed of.

1. A custom copy of hero quest. Fully painted with converted miniatures from the GW range to stand in for all existing HQ models. Custom made map, ect.., and even a fancy wooden box with a HQ logo burned into it.

2. A 15mm zombie survival game, where teams get to actually build their own bases throughout the turns, while they go through town scavenging for food, ammo, and gasoline.

I started the project I wasn't supposed to start because of this thread. Pretty happy about it really.

First unit almost done, just two more stands to finish. Kinda fun fitting 40 Death Guard Terminators in the palm of your hand.
