So roll on harvest time: scrumpy, wanton wenches and plenty of reaping

Seconded!

Fantastic, gritty paintjobs Janner. Very inspirational.

I know scythes have been used in combat, but as far as I know it has been used by peasants who could not afford a real weapon. Surely an elite marine could do better.

Anyway, it is an impressive army you have and I hope we soon see a group picture.

I think you are right that the use of a scythe would have been limited to levied or revolting peasants. However, in the diversity of medieval weapons, the difference between an agriculturally influenced polearm, such as a fauchard, guisarme or bill, and the halberds and glaives carried by elite formations is problematic. Even Oakeshot lumped them all together as staff weapons. So I'm not sure that a men-at-arms who had been tripped by a bill and then had the point stuck through his eyeslit or up his nethers would agree that it wasn't a real weapon

Still, as you know, these have scythes because they are the elite of the Death Guard and their boss looks like a Pratchett-esque version of Death, scythe and all.

Now I want to do a squad of World Eaters with a chainaxe in one hand and a bolter with a chainbayonet in the other. Paint them up in lumberjack plaid.

Cue the Lumberjack Song:

'I cut down trees, I wear high heels
Suspenders and a bra
I wish I'd been a girlie
Just like my dear papa'

That is one deadly tactical squad!

My aim is to have finished painting the whole force by 15th August - only a couple of characters, ten termies, a dreadnought and a squad of Destroyers to go
