Project Draftdodger: Part 10

See here for part 9.




Well, the convention went OK. I should have a write up on that posted on Sunday. In the main time: Pictures.

 




As I spoke a lot about the Artillery last week, I only have so much to add today. The gun barrels remain removable for ease of transport, and for potential use as a Heavy Mortar. My initial experiences suggest that might be the way to go, as while one of these did take down a War Walker in one go, its a fairly inconsistent weapon even if its the best looking one.



With the Artillery Teams done, I feel Project Draftdodger has come to a natural conclusion. I've expanded my forces, and built a few of the new units. I have 100+ assorted infantry, and a brace of vehicles. My guard force is complete enough that it is now a tactical experience more than a modelling experience. I will likely add to it further, but its no longer a weekly thing. What I need to do now is actually play a 2k game, but that will happen when it happens.

 


As to what I'll do next? At time of writing, I dunno. I've been tempted back to Orks again by that new More Dakka detachment. On both first impression and deeper analysis, its fucking broken in at least two ways, and somebody ran the numbers, so I'm not rushing to build models for it. I am however doing an inventory of my forces to see how easily I could field a 1k army. Its looking to be far easier than I thought, but there's a lot of stuff either obsolete or in need of repair. I've avoided doing this as I feared it would both be a slog and uninteresting from a modelling perspective, but there might something in this as an interim activity. Or as a trip to a charity shop.

 

But I also need to do real life stuff, so who knows?
