Welcome.
Hmmm how to start this off? Well I suppose most people start off with an explaination of who they are and what the blog is for. Well, if it's good enough for those people then it sure as hell is good for me. I'll keep it brief so not to bore you.
So who am I exactly?
Well my name is Mark, I'm 20 years old and I've been playing Warhammer for 7 years. I started off on Warhammer Fantasy with an army of High Elves. Over the years I amassed around 4,000pts of Elves and dabbled in Slaanesh Chaos Mortals and Wood Elves. Since late October I've been building a decent sized Brettonian army which has grown to the 2,000pt stage. For the battlefields of the 41st Millenium I fight for the Dark Eldar (1,000pts) and the forces of the Emperor with Imperial Fist Space Marines and Grey Knights (both at the 1,5000pts level). And now, as of the 7th February 09 the Imperial Guard (more of them in a bit).
What exactly is this for?
To motivate me to get an army finished for once. Like numerous people I get to a certain point in building an army before my eyesight wanders onto the next project. Now don't get me wrong, I am not one of these people that has to have ever new army when it is released because it must be the best. If anything I'm the complete opposite. If one of my armies is updated I won't rush out to get all the new stuff on the release date, nope, I will leave that army alone for around 2 months until the little kiddies have moved onto the next best thing. This however means that I have yet to completely finish a single army. So yea, hopefully this will motivate me to get my Guard finished and to improve my painting standards.
Essexian 23rd Mechanised Imperial Guard
I've always loved the sight of massed tanks on the tabletop. From the sleak Eldar vehicles to the spikey vehicles of the Chaos gods. The problems I encountered with my other armies meant I couldn't field as many tanks as I would have liked (have you tried painting yellow? I tell you it's a fragging pain the butt). So the Guard seemed like the perfect excuse, plus I just love thier Chimera's. My next decision is on what models I wish to use. Cadians - cheap but most people use them. Mordians - lovely models but really expensive. Valhallans - lovely models and I just love the Cain series of books but again expensive. I'm gonna have a think before making my final decision.
In conclusion
Hopefully you have read up to this point. If not well that was a complete waste of time wasn't it :) I hope to update this at least once a week (work permitting) and share my progression on whatever I've been up to. Any comments or pointers you wish to share with me are more than welcome.
Cheers,
