[r4wr89]

hello all. i realize that i haven't really done anything at all for the last few months in terms of painting or modelling, partly for a lack of money but mostly for a lack of time, design school has REALLY been killing me, mentally, physically, heck, probably even spiritually or something lol

so i figure a turn of events might help me out of that rut. this summer i'll hopefully have some good money tucked away, which will help me with buying and painting this army:
the 1000 point pelossan mech merchants

please, feel free to critique the list as well because this is probably my first IG army list, so take a look, tell me what you do and don't like please !

the modelling idea is for conscripts to use the current cadian shock troop models, while normal infantry use the previously announced new IG models hopefully. if the new boxes come in time, i'll convert every model to fit the pelossan mech merchant's fluff [dress and color wise, etc.] but if the new models don't come out before the end of the year, then i'll have to figure something else out.
:] look forward to updates...later haha.
and good luck to everyone !
