Anyhow, since you’ve asked people to post their armies I decided it would be more cost effective to start my army with 2 Assault on Black Reach sets, since I read all of the Warhammer books the library had until they got stolen, and I’ve always loved the Dark Angels.

After the two Black Reach sets I’m getting a squad of Devastators and another of Assault troops to round it off, along with a Codex (durr). Vehicles will be coming MUCH later.

This gives me 2 Captains, 2 Dreads, 20 troops, 10 terminators, 5 Devastators and 5 assault troopers with jet packs. Since I don’t have the codex yet I don’t know what bonuses I’ll be using so I can’t give a points count yet.

Like I said, I like the Dark Angels, but I don’t know if that’s the group I’ll end up playing as, so for my paint job I’ll be going with a very dark green, almost black. I also got some ideas from the GW website and I’ll be ‘liberating’ some spare heads from my ‘nid friends to use as replacement armor, along with some plasticard to emulate armor fashioned from dead Ork gear. Not sure what I’ll do to emulate scraps from the Tau or Eldar, but I’m sure I’ll think of something. This brings me to my secondary army.

Apparently, if you Paint It Red it goes faster. I’m not sure how this works, but everyone knows you don’t argue logic with an Ork. After playing Warcraft 3 I’ve decided to run with the idea and plan on fielding an army of firetruck red Orks, and since it’s going to be a Red Army I’m going to fashion together some hammers and sickles for melee weapons. My buddy Matt is a genius with paint and Green Stuff and has agreed to do the paint for me if I give him my spare pocket sized rule book.

Let’s have more, eh…?
