Best Laid Plains of Idiot's and Madmen
Posted 01-12-2008 at 04:35 PM by Captain Slow
Okay. so, last time i posted in this blog i presented you with a simple armylist that this army is going to be based around. its not flexable i grant you, and its not mobile but thats not what its for. in a straight out fight it shoudld put up a dman good fight. in an objective based game......anyones guess. BUT im not here today, at 12:35 in the morning overhere in boreing old britton, to talk about the aarmy list.
I am here to talk about the hobby side of this army.
and to start, how this whole thing is going to work.
now, most people decide to do an army and stick to a liost, however they buy things at will when they have the cash. am i wrong so far?
well, with a total lack of a job, and very little cash comeing in, i cant do that. so, i need a timeframe, and some rules.
so after thinking things through, heres what ive come up with:
DA RULES:
I can buy one boxed set a month, however the boxed set cannot come to anymore than the sum of £30. if i spend under that price, the money that is saved is carryed over into the next month.
EG i spend £25 in the first month. i have £5 left over, so the next month i have £35 to play around with.
as for gubbins and sprues they can be mail ordered trhough The trolls at GW HQ, however the same rules as above still apply.
whatever i buy during the month MUST be painted by the end of the month, at the very Least to a gameing standard. Base and all.
so theres the rules i have, with any luck ill stick to them. and if not, i ask any of you here to beat me with a 2 by 4. espically those who know me at my local GW. I'm talking to you petey.
Well, thats all i have for you at the moment, so I'll leave you with something Nice to look at.
until next time.

| |  WHY?! Why doesn`t the face match the draw style match the rest of the pic?!?! PS I have a feeling you won`t be able to stay on track with that little plan  Hobbies that cost both time and money are hard to manage :P |

| |  It's from Warseer's guys before they stopped doing them right? (As far as the style goes it's identical if not from the same guys) And of course, Nice pledge =] Why a box set though? could easily be blisters hehe |

| | Well, as for blisters...same ruels apply. and even tho there not on the list. im very tempted to get a termie chaplain, and a termie lib, as well as a full shooty termie SQD plus FW pads..and that why ive set myself these rules. so i cant suddenly go to town adn spend all my money on one sqd, and have nothing left over for the next month. or for an emergency. a hooby emergancy that is. ^^ |

| | Hehe. Trudat bro, trudat. And btw, just get termie chaplain this/next month, and save all that extra 15$ or so for later =P He is AWESOME. (I find myself uncomfortable describing a dude as sexy, but the termie chaplain is DEFINITELY SEXEH, it just has to be said) |
