I'm in the mood to play a game of fantasy, and am reserving a table (though I will give it up for anyone who hasn't gotten a chance to play at Hobbytown yet), but I'm trying to decide which of my armies to bring with me.
So I decided to put it to a vote, because I really love these poll things.
Anyone interested in a game?

I would LOVE to play some fantasy, and I'd love to see your "new" Warriors army on the table!
Would you be interesting in fighting Moloch's Stampede (2250)?

Don't know if I can get 2250 points on the table right now because it's still a work in progress. Still have to pick up the three boxes of marauder horsemen (think they were coming in today) and am still converting the hippogriff for the lord. Could do a lower point game with WoC using some of the stuff from my older army, or could do 2250 with another of my armies

Well I'm really hoping for 2250 so I can actually see if this army will work at all...will be my first time fielding Moloch and Fred and everyone together!
How about Skaven or Dark Elves? I've only fought against DE once, and never against Skaven. (BTW, I hear Skaven is the next army book to be released...)

Dr. C. I was in the store last night and they do have three boxes that were special order already in the store.
I was also talking with the owner about some other hobby stuff and he was going to try to get some plastic sheets in that have diamond cuts on them - look like deck plating. I've seen this used by others for a cool looking base for marines/IG models.

Sweet. Thanks, BroFran - I'll pick those up tonight and have a few hours to put them together since my wife works the late shift tonight. You guys still down in Florida or did you get back?

I'm trying to decide what colors to use when painting the marauders. I'm thinking of doing them with very pale skin, almost as albinos. I want them to look more creepy and less Conan the barbarian. Any ideas?

Yeah I'm psyched about the Skaven book. I'll have to revisit my army when that comes out. I'd like to buff up my existing rat ogre and plague monk squads with the new plastic sets for those and then if they have a totally new thing that looks cool, maybe pick up one of them. I'm also excited about the plastic doomwheel kit, and even though I already have the old one all painted, if it looks really cool and the rules are decent for it, I might pick up another. I think I had to use the 'non-official' rules for the doomwheel just to get them to 2000 points, so I may not be able to do 2250, but I'm sure I can swing it with dark elves now that their assassins don't count as heroes anymore and there are more goodies you can give out. So I'll plan on bringing the Heart of Midnight and his dark host, unless you'd like to do a big beastly battle with Goretongue Bloodstamp and his herd.

Wow there's a ton of pieces in those marauder horsemen kits! Each horse has 4 pieces to it, including a choice of multiple heads. There are about 20 head choices for the five guys in there. And tons of hooks and chains - If I'd known I was about to have all of these hooks and chain bits I wouldn't have spent Monday night making my own for my BSB chariot!

Wow, you guys really want to see some skaven. Since Bob wants to do a higher point game to try out Moloch the doombull, I don't think I'll be able to use them, as I remember I had to get the doomwheel in with the 'unofficial' rules they posted for it in the citadel journal to get the ratmen to 2000. So for 2250 I think I'm going to bring the dark elves out, since I think it's been about four or five years since they've hit the table. I'll work on my list on my lunch break and post it up in a new thread.
