Yes...Thanks for taking the time to comment, chaps.<br /><br />Yes: I've been dyed-in-the-wool 40K since the nineties, and this is the first departure from it that I've made. <br /><br />The rules are the key. I know they're not perfect, but they're so very well thought-through, and not being a competitive player myself I love how the central premise really seems to be a cooperative one - even for competition!<br /><br />The minis do seem expensive, as I've hardly bought any models in almost three years, but yes, a bit of shopping around really can pay dividends. <br /><br />Now I have a backbone of infantry, I can see some cheap plastic Shermans (5 for £14!) and some artillery will be just about my lot. <br /><br />And that's only if I can sneak them past Mrs. Drax.<br /><br />Oh GW: why do you expend so much effort to alienate us?Admiral Draxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07476823273954165890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898341582574934477.post-36911108922346154882011-12-12T21:19:01.083+00:002011-12-12T21:19:01.083+00:00It's kind of amazing, coming from GW's wor...It's kind of amazing, coming from GW's world, to see all the competition in the 15mm WWII space. A whole tournament army for $150 - $200?
