Mini Painting!

*sneaks in and reads back on this thread*
Ooo, I had no idea this was here. I've been a long time lover of miniature wargames and converting/painting up miniatures... I started on model kits and trains back when I was just a little tyke... then a friend showed me this "Warhammer 40k" thing... I should probably hate him for all the money he cost me over the years. :)
I am currently working on an army of Eldar, mostly old metal models (like 1990s era, a lot of them) bought from another friend's collection. Based loosely on Irish Celtic mythology to go with my Celtic Fury chapter of space marines. I am preparing the Eldar for a new league starting up at my FLGS next year, so I'm excited for that.

So a package arrived this morning.
The contents are:
An Empire General
A box of Greatswords
A box of Empire Militia
A Mordheim Elf Mage
A Loremaster of Hoeth
& finally Illic Nightspear.
Hmmm, I wonder what I could be planning. (Hint, its not an Empire army)

So I've read back through the thread, and I have to say that I am really excited for the Toughest Girls in the Galaxy line as well. I wasn't able to buy into the kickstarter, but I plan to buy some of their existing line and get the TGG when the come out. My marine chapter includes women marines. (Because f**k lore, that's why), and a lot of them would bit awesomely into my chapter. Or into their Sisters/Adepta Sororitas allies/companion force. And they inspire me to put together a group of guard allies as well, so I can field a Jailbirds force. I'll probably use their mech/powerloader suits as custom dreadnoughts, since the Dreadknight is Grey Knights only.. but it looks way to cool to leave out. I just don't know where I'll find the money for all this. My army right now consists almost entirely of two sets of the Dark Vengeance marines and second hand miniatures I've bought from people. Plus a Whirlwind and Vindicator I've made from Lego. :)
I also want to pick up some alternate figures from the Mantic, Scribor, MaxMini and Chapterhouse lines of compatible stuff. And probably a scattering of other bits makers. I am not a Games Workshop hater... But some things I think are way over priced. Sorry, I am not going to pay $50 for a Thunderfire cannon. And I like to have variety and customizing in my armies, to make them my own. The only 'official' force I've run over the years has been Space Wolves during 3rd and 4th editions. Otherwise it's always been my own chapter or my own force with my own paintjob and conversions. The creativity is one of the biggest appeals to me in miniature gaming, which is about 75% of why I can't get into historical games.

The emperor says girls are not allowed to be space marines. because they are yucky. no girls allowed. :mrgreen:
