So you buy it, spend a large part of your life assembling and painting it, but then where do you store it or even get to have a game with it? Madness, pure madness.


Better yet, where do you find an opponent with the same big army  :-\

Or, you spend 1% of your annual bonus, from the bank you work for, on it; pay a sweatshop in the Far East to assemble and paint it; load it in to your purpose built display cabinet and then spend your odd evening off playing .... Warmachine  ;D ;D ;D

I'd love to drop a £7000 order on Pendraken.

Casting dwarves to Maximum!

I do not think they can cast your 7k worth of Centurions in any reasonable amount of time. After all thats about 1,900 tanks......

But then gain I have heard Dave will jump out of a cake and sing for a Nutter like that..... :d :d :d :d

Tell a lie...I did:  :D

To Games Workshop Customer Service:

I was looking at your Astartes Ultra collection and am sorely tempted to buy it.  I don't have as much time to paint these days as I would like however and wondered if you provided a painting / basing service?

I will let you know of their response guys.  :d :d :d

That's almost the entire Allied force at Waterloo, or both the armies at Hastings TWICE, 4 Corps of the Army of the Potomac, nearly enough for all the casualties on the 1st day of the Somme, 4 British WWII airborne divisions, or enough orcs to have a chance against one elf maiden.
