In all honesty? It ain't that bad! Though I guess a 1/285 scale autocannon won't hurt as much as a 28mm fanged sword.  :8767

As for BattleTech.... Well, the sheer amount of metal that I have for my DE shows you that I did enjoy WHFB hugely.

And the fact that it's now just collecting dust on shelves should tell you a lot about how much I like BT which is taking up *all* my hobby time.

Turtlejosh:
Imperial Guard ain't so bad now, new codex means more guns and more power, they're awesome apparently ;)

And yeah jym, I suppose its like what people play in your area, because here warhammer is a main contender. And fanged swords may be bad but those new Night Goblins were anooying little buggers, I used to have one or 2 sticking out of my hand lol.

And they're not so bad when your used to making them, just metal can be quite hard to glue. Plastic stays on much better imo, with plastic cement i think being used. Although I should really start pinning the models together.

I shall try and get my current models up when I can, the next one isnt the best pic, but has one of my models in the front (aswell as a secret project ;) )

Ouch!

Make no mistake, 40K is the big thing around here, too, with WHFB being a close runner up.

BT used to be quite huge in the early to mid 90s but has regressed into somewhat of a niche game since then. Which is all the more reason to advertise it, as it really deserves so much more.

Also, it is more of a board-tabletop-hybrid rather than a true tabletop game (though there are expanded rules to play it out with terrain). The usual game mode is models on a stylised map board.

A definite plus for BT is that you don't need any miniatures to play, but if you do want miniatures, 2-4 are enough for a game. GW games tend to be rather expensive...

Oh yeah I see your point, But I have recently discovered some rather awesome discount sites ;) 15% is good enough for me

jym:
Sounds good.

Anyways, it's not like I don't have several 100s of BT miniatures myself, so there goes that argument....  :4345
