As I look at my Grey Knights, and my wins/losses with them, I eye my old Space Marines wondering what will become of them. because of the expense this game ensues, and how bad I am with money, my wife has capped me at two-armies. Honestly, who needs more than that at any time?
I'm not ready to put the GKs down right now, and being more interested in the hobby portion of the game, I've still got so much I want to do with my already 2500 point GK army. But I look at the box taped and ready for travel to my new home, the boxed is marked "SpaceMarines" It's my first army, the first set of models I built and painted, the first army I ever had a victory with and I've shared more than my share of losses with. As a hobbyist the SMs [of all types] have so much to offer the world of customization, it's why I'll always be stuck with them. But I want to repaint and renew my SMs after I top off and finish up my GKs.
I've been looking at Blood Angels, and now as a Grey Knights player I have but one question: "WHY THE F*** DON'T WE GET A LIBRARIAN DREANOUGHT?!"
The answer is probably more simple than I'm making it, but I'm sure that it's along the lines of: "Grey Knights already have every damn psychic power bonus on the planet, and do you really need another giant robot with a force weapon?!"
Touche`
Back to my thoughts on what I may soon pass off as Blood Angels. Here's where some people get mad at the hobbyists: I want to do a counts as army using the Blood Angels codex. And to be even lamer than that... I'm thinking an Ordo Xenos / DeathWatch army using Blood Angels Codex.
And by this point if you haven't quit reading or started trolling me, I will say again that yup, I'm an Imperial Forces, For the Emperor kinda guy. If I did play a Xenos army I'd probably play Tau, cause they're just as fanatical for their race as the humans are.
I'm kicking around ideas, but mainly I just want to paint a bunch of black troopers with different army insignia, there's just something about Special Forces, Black Ops that appeals to me and doing a DeathWatch army seems like a fun paint job. We'll see though, it's just a crazy idea for the time being. I've still got Grey Knights to paint, and hopefully start hitting some friendly competitions once I get out to Austin.
