One of the things I enjoy most about this hobby is just brainstorming ideas on what armies, themes, and teams would be fun to collect, build, paint, and play. The only downfall is that I end up doing a lot of thinking and very little actual building, painting, and playing. The main drawback to games like WFB and 40K is the model count. I'll have a nifty idea for a themed Dark Elf army, but then I have to fill in all the core requirements, etc in order to make a legal army. Same thing goes with 40K. I've been thinking a lot about a Blood Angels army all because I want to model a Death Company that looks like Vampires. I think that unit would be pretty cool, but then I'd have to buy some tac squads and other filler just to make a legal army.
To make a long story a little bit shorter, I'm wanting to put some effort into smaller model-count games such as Bloodbowl, Necromunda, and Mordheim. These games will allow me to have fun converting and placing more emphasis on single models instead of focusing on entire units.
A while back I decided that I wanted to make a Bloodbowl army out of Gorkamorka Diggas. Well, tonight I started playing around with the new saw attachment for my Dremel, and thus came up with the following image:
We'll see what happens when I put some more work in. Now what I really need to do is browse the web for miniature hands, because I'm having to amputate a lot of gun/knife arms...
