I would arm the plague marines with bowel-disruptors. Sure, there's killing someone with poo; but doesn't more joy come from killing them with their own poo? I'm just sayin'...

It looks like your wait may not be long. I started on the kommando squad this weekend after a very successful bit-trading say at the local game shop (btw - Hat's Games RULES!). There is also another project en route. WIP photos to come soon.

Zagstruck is looking to fill the Birdie gap when I figure out why I would use him. Assault after deep-striking is neat, but every time I deep strike the Storm Boys they quickly earn the title "Crack Suicide Squad"... maybe I'm missing something, but Birdie is currently low on my list.

But, I am gonna have to start branching out into later McDonaldland characters soon. Captain Crook is an obvious choice when I get around to some Flash Gitz (lower on the list than Zagstruck), but the Professor might get used sooner than later. I was going to finish the Big Mek/Grimace thing off with a Shokk Attack Gun, but I feel it would be kind of a cop-out making him Uncle O'Grimmacy (Gee.... green ork. Such originality...).

Again, thank you all for the encouraging comments. I'm not sure my behavior SHOULD be encouraged, but thank you all for doing it anyway!

Uncle O'Grimmacy would be kinda redundant as far as green on green goes. What about making him a dread or something? After all, the mek gets to bring one as a troops choice. Sort of a family tag along.

Listen, my children, as I pass onto you the truth behind Willy Wonka and his factory. For every wonka bar ever created in existance, Mr. Wonka sacraficed a single Oompa Loompa to the god of chocolate, Hearshys. Then, he drank the blood of the fallen orange men because he fed them a constant supply of sugary chocolate so they all became diabetic and had creamy, sweet-tasting blood that willy could put into each and every Wonka bar. That is the REAL story behind willy wonka's Slaughter House!

I opted to not get Zagstruck after having too many problems deep striking the stormboys (85 points to be able to assault after a deepstrike didn't make much sense to me), yet I still wanted to do Birdie so I opted for Warboss/Big Mek (works as either so far) on a bike.
Here is the beginning of the effort... more to come.



Also, I won my first tournament last month! YAY!
