In under two weeks' time I will be heading to the North West Gaming Centre in Stockport (UK) for a 30k Horus Heresy campaign weekend. A campaign weekend is sort of the opposite of a tournament - gamers are encouraged to be fluffy, and it's definitely a fun game you are aiming to create for your opponent, not a crushing defeat of your opponent!
As I am very poor, I have decided to build my Death Guard force for the smallest cost possible! I have previously bought about 100 'Space Crusade' Marines for about a tenner(!), so of course they have become the core of this army. I also won a decent amount of second hand Chaos Marines (40 CSM's and 4 Dreadnoughts) for about £30, so the Death Guard veterans will use CSM models, as I figure the veterans would be more likely to convert to Nurgle before the rank and file might do.
Here are the models I have painted so far:

| Death Guard infantry |

| Death Guard command (from left: Librarian, Chaplain and Forge Lord) |
Good on you for being resourceful! I've been dying to start my own 30k, but alas the wallet/wife tells me I can't start another even more expensive army til I've finished the two I have (wolves and bugs).
ReplyDeleteThat's why the entire army cost less than £20! It's the only way I can condone building another army to Mrs. Grazer!
ReplyDeleteWhat she doesn't know is that there's hundreds of models I bought off eBay stacked up somewhere she can't find!
