Title: The Tribute to First of Many
Post by: Tomsche on 19 November 2011, 08:56:34 PM

The Tribute to First of Many

No, this isn`t a tribute to the Borg or some other mass alien invasion race from movie X or serie Y.

This is a tribute to the single most important figure in any wargames army, wether it be fantasy, sci-fi or historical.

He is included in every force, or enjoy a happy old day in a relegated borderpost called display cabinet.

No, I`m not talking about the General. Nor the Standard Bearer, and it ain`t the Mythical Hero either.

First of Many is the valiant soul that fights shoulder to shoulder with the troops. A Thousand Death's are his destiny, he will march many miles, and run many more.

He will face off against cavalry, dragon or tank alike. He will dodge bullets, evade laser beams, survive artillery barrages and block sword strokes.

He will gather around his flag, and will be prepared to lay down his life for the ultimate goal in order to secure victory for your forces.

He is First of Many, he is that very first Rank and File model you paint up in order to test the colour scheme of the army to come...

 lol Like it.

Might sound odd, but my favourite bit of your First of Many is his nose.

Classic Chaos Dwarfs.  Nice.  They get too much hate on the Webotron and not enough love.

Your introduction made me think of this:

Not sold on the colour scheme though. Bit to primary for the "bad" guy for my taste. Doesn't mean it is not good though. I often found out that a single models doesn't really tell you how a unit will look like. I painted a block of blue skinned marauders myself and it only came together when the unit was finished.

Really like th epost. I always test paint a miniature of a new box set/army as well. Don't always end up painting more of them though...
