OK. The Doom of Mymera caused a barclaycard heamorage. I kept it bottled for as long as possible and then, in Karitas' kitchen, after a couple of hours of collective nerdery, it just all came out and I splurged on a corsair army. It was always going to happen; FW has that kind of effect on me.
The Raid on Caster Oil Nine made me want a Elysian army. And an Ork army as well. But I was in France and able to resist. The Badab War made me want Spaze Murheens but it soon wore off.
The Fall of Orpheus is a bit like having the pussycatdolls and sugarbabes come on over, strip off and lube up before rubbing themselves all over me; It shouldn't happen, for so many reasons, but I'm enjoying it so much I don't want it to end. A sort of dirty surprise that I wasn't expecting but is actually quite exciting. Ahem.
You see, way back in 2007, I wanted an Armeggdon Steel Legion, all IFV mounted, to fight my 28mm wars. I couldn't find the ASL on the website (who realised that they were 'collectors' items ?) so went looking and found the DKK. I bought IA5 and was suckered in to the whole DKK and FW thing. I had all the bits for my Armoured Infantry Coy before I had read the army list :(
So eventually after homebrewing some background, I settled on DKK 19 Armoured Regt from the back of IA1. Perfect ! I've got my existing army within the TO&E and it includes things I had considered (Salamander scouts, Hydras) but couldn't shoe horn in using any of the Vraks Army lists.
But IA12 includes a list "The Death Korps of Kreig Assault Brigade". Which would seem to be the natural home for formations like the 19th Armoured Regt (and my collection). So I (stand by for a shock) am now engrossed in the Army List. I know, I know, goes against everything I ever stood for etc etc. But, having found a list I can use with the army I already possess, I find I am engaging with the rules.
So I'm reading rules and not spending money (possibly only because its an Army I already have). Don't worry, it will pass and normal service will be restored soon.
OK. Looking at what I have I can make it into an Assault Bde army and have a few bits left over; Three or four Special Weapon Squads and a Hvy Bolter squad.
ReplyDeleteApoc it is then.
