Ordered Khaos.

Hello Blogosphere.

I start this off with a great big F*** You Games Workshop.

I have been an avid 40k player for a long.. long time.. Hell I've been playing 40k longer than some of the kids that are playing at my local club have been alive (que me feeling old). I struggled to scrape together my three armies, worked those extra hours overtime, took that extra shift, didn't buy that dvd.. just so I could get my armies up and going.. and finally found places which I could afford to get my armies to the points where they were something I enjoyed playing.. I was about to get a big chunk of cash together to buy the last of my Grey Knights together.. when the GW anti-Online Embargo of every country outside of the EU happened.. and I just.. gave up.. you know what? I don't need my third army.. I don't need GW to make anouther dollar off of me for their profit machine.. I love plastic crack.. but it's time to find a new Dealer.

And I almost imediately found one.. Privateer Press. Anouther of the members of the club I am going too suggested starting up Warmachine/Hordes as a 'Tale of 4 gamers' thing. It interested me ... then the embargo was announced.. and then I looked at the game harder.. the rules look far more ballanced, the miniatures are damn beautiful, and I am a sucker for steampunk.

So I looked over the different factions, they all had something I liked, then I opened the Khador book.. and made a girlish squee noise and fell in love. Russians.. Not the soviet block, it's the old school Imperial Russia before all the communist crap. Not only that, they have really great modles.

So after talking to a few guys, and looking a bit more into it, I ordered myself some stuff.

1 x Warmachine Prime Mk2.
1 x Khador Codex.
1 x Khador Starter Box.
1 x Widowmakers Unit.
1 x Great Bears of biglongnamehere.
1 x Manhunter (alt).
1 x War Dog.
1 x Templates and Tokens.

This is just the starter list of my army. After looking over this stuff.. I plan to have a full unit of everything there is to have.. Well almost everthing, a few of the units I dislike out of just visual thing (Doomreavers look.. and feel wrong). But I'll have most, and I'll look into magnatizing my Warjacks, so I can save a little money that way.

I also chose my colour scheme based on the picture of Sorscha and the warjack on page 41 of the Codex. This awesome looking dirty grey/snow look. I think it's going to look great.. But only time will tell.

So lets hope this will be the start of a great long funtime.
