So, some of you may know I like Warhammer 40,000 and some may know that I collect and play 40K, now, I'll let you in on what I'm planning to do: Make an all infantry army of Imperial Guard, which are quite a cheap army when it comes to infantry.
My most basic army is going to consist of at least 101 infantry models, possibly more. And considering these are all 28mm scale, it's gonna be tough going. To give you an idea, look at This Image
See the guy on the far left, thats the scale of the units i'll be making and painting. Assembling is going to be a pain, as each soldier comes in 6 parts, so that's 606 really small parts that i have and each part needs to be held in place at least 30 seconds while the glue sets. That's 5 hours in total just for assembly. I'm currently planning on doing 2 models per day, assembling, painting etc etc, now that doesn't sound a lot, but it is, it means I'll be able to have 35 models done in a fortnight. So It's gonna be around 1 and a half months of painting every day to complete my army. Hell, if i bump it up to 4 a day i means just over 3 weeks or so to get all 101 done.
and that's just the basic army.
Oh and for you firefly fans, They are gonna be browncoats based (Infact I'm calling them the 57th Overlanders ) I'm gonna try and incorporate characters from firefly into my army though that will mean a fair bit of conversion work. Plus If I get any vehicles, they'll all be named after female firefly characters (I might even name the heavy weapons after them)
