I had in mind making a scout company, and I have the unfortunate habit of drinking and going on ebay. One day there were a bunch of Bolter armed scouts up for bid, three or four squads of them. I wanted one of them, so I bid on all of them. I won. Net result, 53 marines ended up in a box with my address. I already had about 35, mostly snipers and ccw armed.
In Fairness, most of the rest of them, came in "army purchases" where I bought an army which I needed or wanted some other part of the army, but ended up with a few more scouts. I have used as many as 40 in a game, but I like them any way and what the heck, I am old enough to get what I want once in a while. (I am 53). |
