Two new additions to the force...
Another Infantry Squad (for a total of four so far!)
And another Heavy Weapon Squad armed with Mortars.
I've been in a bit of a painting frenzy the last week and a half. I actually signed up for a 40K tournament on the 24th. It's going to be my first 40K tournament ever. Which seems like a weird thing, considering I'm 46 and started playing the game 30 years ago... (Mind you, I took a 20+ year break from the game, so...). The whole tournament style of play has been anathema to me since forever. I'm not totally stoked on the idea still, but I thought it might be a good chance to meet some of the other local players. And it's only 1000 points and there are some restrictions on big things (no Lords of War, no things that are 12+ power level, etc...). AND it's being held at a bar just four blocks from my house...
Anyway, despite easily having 1000+ points of Catachans I could have fielded, heck, I probably have 1000+ points of TALLARN I could have fielded, I got this stupid idea in my head that it would be fun to field a BRIGADE detachment for 1000 points... all I had to do was paint THREE Infantry Squads, a Heavy Weapon Squad, TWO Command Squads, TWO Officers, the Leman Russ tank (see above) and... well, originally I was going to put together another scout Sentinel, but now I'm thinking if I got two more Roughriders painted up, I could field a second squad of those, and that would be easier.... and all that had to be painted in three weeks...
No problem!
I have the tank and an infantry squad, a command squad (I'll post a picture of those when I finish the officer) and one heavy weapon squad done. Still have to finish up two more infantry squads, another command team, two officers, and a couple roughriders... in two weeks...
