Second, such is the nature of the gaming industry that I have overtime from now until Heart of the Swarm comes out.  So much for playing minis on Tuesday nights!

Frankly, I do NOT like any of the new CSM minis.  It looks like I'll be doing that all-foot Death Guard army after all..

2 comments:

  1. An all-foot Death Guard army doesn't sound so bad (though I share your disappointment about the new minis). At least it allows you to create your own converted version of the new models!

  2. Not into the new models that I have seen at all...
    ... Armoured dinosaurs sound cool, but they don't look too great. The Dark Apostle just looks like an irate ref who has had toilet paper thrown over him at a football game, the "Maulers" (?) look like very old Carnifex models, and the "Dragon"?
    Don't get me started.
    On the other hand, Raptors and CSMs still look good!
    :-)
