Is 'Eavy Metal Calling?





UK

It's been a while since we've had a proper poll. but with some elements of life starting to return to normal, GW shipping again and plenty of LGS set to open over the next few weeks, I think it's time to go back to more traditional topics for the challenge. So as per usual, there are four topics to choose from this month, and the runner up will feature in next month's poll.

In A Supporting Role: Not everyone on the battlefield is a mighty warrior, From medics to clerics, diviners to tacticians, scouts to engineers, you entry should feature models whose main battlefield role,is in a supporting function rather than direct combat.

The Rivals: Across every setting there are stories of bitter enmity, long held grudges and ancient feuds. Your entry should feature characters famed for their rivalry with a certain enemy or type of enemy, or indeed models from both sides of that conflict.

Fresh Blood: Before there are hardened veterans, there are strangers to battle thrown into combat, Whether eager recruits or press-ganged conscripts, your entry should feature models representing the less experienced elements of their faction.

Going Solo: While some fight in rank and file, or hunker down with their brothers in arms, there are those who face the enemy alone, with no support and no allies at their side. These lone wolves are often as deadly as a small force in their own right, either through skill or sheer strength. Your entry should feature models that typically fight alone, rather than in units.

Supporting role - but only because I can think of a couple of choices off of the top of my head. Should be able to manage any of the choices with a bit more effort

... GW shipping gin ...

The problem with GW gin is that’s it’s just the same stuff you can buy yourself, relabeled and marked up to twice the price.
Drunken Manster thread should be down the page a bit. Got two hours and a frosty beverage? Try a different challenge!

I voted for Fresh Blood, but could do any of these.

We’ve had come from behind upsets in the polls before, but this is a pretty big lead.

I’m sure you can find something and wow us with it. I have faith in you.

(See, supporting role is easy!)

I could probably make any of them happen TBH. I voted for Solo because it would give me the chance to paint a single model and really focus on it.

My armies (re-counted and updated on 11/7/24, including modeled wargear options):
Dark Angels: ~16000 Astra Militarum: ~1200 | Imperial Knights: ~2300 | Leagues of Votann: ~1300 | Tyranids: ~3400 | Stormcast Eternals: ~5000 | Kruleboyz: ~3500 | Lumineth Realm-Lords: ~700
