That is included in my calculations!

I have a lot on my "to buy" list, though - I should get some more terrain to get ready for the Epic event, the 6mm not-Tau by Onslaught are being released this summer, and I have a long-standing and long-ignored promise to Mike to resume collecting my Flames of War army. I think I need to pick up some more translation jobs to get a cash infusion!

I see, I see.

Well, no rush. I and Gannon are getting ready for Gen Con, we`ll (at least, I`ll) be focusing on WarmaHordes and Monpoc to get ready for that.

DzC is our "fall project". I might buy the minis some time this summer, but I won`t get to assembling/painting/playing until September at least. So, you have some time...I mean, we have some time. (they`re calling to you - The Scourge...)

They are if, like me, you pick out all the little "bumps" in different colours like the official colour scheme does.

I know what you mean, there are even extra bumps on the bumpy parts; the more I look at the Shaltari, the more challenging they look to paint. Scourge, on the other hand, look like a dry-brusher`s dream.

It`s official, Gannon has jumped in (head first) and gotten a sizeable PHR force. I told him I`d choose my force in the next week or so. Shaltari!...or maybe UCM...or maybe even Scourge....

Other than the blue and green lights, the Shaltari are pretty easy; just the main red hull colour, some details in gunmetal and the wing areas in gold, finishing with the black cockpit canopies.

I'm a big fan of the chrome PHR colour scheme, myself.

for PHR I like the gun metal paint scheme and the white gloss one (looks a bit Stormtrooer-ish)

I think the copper oxide paint scheme does wonders for the Scourge.

Well, I`m "all in" with Dropzone Commander. The minis look fantastic, BTW and the battleboard is awesome (even has a basketball court). I`ve just ordered a massive UCM (Humans) army.

Danguinius

Hum. Extremely tempting.

For 60 GBP, you get 2 starter armies (which each retail for 68 GBP - the starter set is in plastic instead of resin / metal), a roughly 3" by 4" card battlefield, a rulebook, dice, cards, markers, and even a tape measure. I just wish I was more excited about the rules...

That looks like an awesome deal. If you ever wanted someone to go in on this I am interested.
