You swines! The F/W valkyries are too nice not to have a sizeable detachment.As for scale, well if its meant to take 2 bases it needs to be at least a rhino with wings if not more, a hell it looks so nice!
     Looks like lots of the penal battalion will get dropped of in places they'ed rather not be!

I gave up waiting for the metal valkaries and went straight for the hardcore resin versions which will leave me bankrupt :)
If any one who has metal or resin ones, can they be easily converted to have door gunners on them?
     Cheers.

Hi!

I'm getting somewhat ticked off that they charged me and yet no product.

Once 30 days go buy, they will feel my displeasure..... :L

Sounds bad. I've not had such problems with them even while changing address.Hope it all goes well for you. I have also noticed that it is advisable to buy FW products as soon as launched becuse the quality does start to slip after a couple of months. One set of Tau inf was of very borderline quality indeed, so it may be worth the wait to get the figs' while they are still top notch.
cheers.

Scratchbuild a full 2-4K E:A army!

No buy cheap models crazy stuff, just hardcore plastic, clay, putties, and assorted random junk! Lower than low costs, mediocre model quality, but still looking like an army.

I thought both orks and LatD qualify for such a project, my preference being LatD.

So, now here's my questions for you:
-What army should I take?
-How should I do it? Building ideas are all welcomed.
-Any ideas for a start? I wanna start with 2K, does anyone have any ideas for a 2K ork/LatD list?

Hmmm, are you really sure you want to do this, afterall most of the basic plastics are really cheap on e-bay, provided you're careful :D possible cheaper than the clays/putties etc,
However it would be interesting to see how you get on, I'll see if I can think of any helpful hints.
LotD would be my choice :D

Hi Frecus.

That sounds like quite a task.
I'd recommend that you go for a vehicle heavy army. Modelling 5 miniatures to a base is going to be a lot of work.
Another reccomendation would be to go for an army with high points cost so you don't have to build as many models.

You could build a Necron army perhaps?

Cheers!  :)

Hmmm... I agree with those, but necrons are themselves hard to build...

I also thought of speed freeks, who can get all buggiez & wagonz. I made a little list for that option, containing 32 buggiez, 3 speedstas, 7 gunwagonz, 1 scorcha & 1 badboyz, 12 deathkoptas, 12 gunwagonz, 5 fighta bommerz.
I could take more gunwagonz & less buggiez...

I got a new speed freek idea!

I got an idea for a unit of massive monowheels with guns attached to the axis to represent 9 buggies. I also reduced a lot of building time by taking a total of 8 gunfortresses. So what do you think of this list:

Da mastas blitz brigade, 8 gunwagonz, mekboy speedsta, bad ork smallwheelz (bike boyz), 2 flakwagonz...370
Blitz brigade, 4 gunwagonz, mekboy speedsta, flak wagon, gunfortress...370
Kult of speed, 8 deth wheelz (buggies), speedsta, extra deth wheel (buggy)...275
Blitz koptas, 4 deth koptas...150
Huge gunfortress mob, 6 gun fortresses, extra gun fortress...835
Total: 2K
Models: 40

Ok, the mind is set. I've now got enough arguments:
-Not a lot of models.
-No flesh, so easier to build.
-My real world name is 'Freek' (pronounced like frayk in my country).
-I'm speedy (20-25 mph on average on the bike to school daily).

So now, I've started on the mekaniak bad ork bikeboy unit from the WD speed freek list, and am building myself 3 big wheels with a small cabin on the axis, where the ork will sit, along with a big engine and gunz!

I love the monowheel idea.  I wanted to do the same thing for my speed freeks, but couldn't ever find a set of bits that I thought would work.  I was thinking something along the lines of the grot-monowheel illustration in the rulebook with the orks perched on top and rocket engines/gunz mounted on the hubz.

Please share what you decide to use as bits.  I'd love to hear it.
