Well, the lost and the ad may come a bit further down the line. First I think I'll do the Arnor army, while I am working on and off on the Dark Angels. Then It's all the GG entries, they all have to be finished by february '08, and this year, I will make sure I have plenty of time But I will probably make some test conversions of renegade IG, and some minis just for fun to test colour scheme, different battle damage, freehand, and lots of blood and gore

Glad to have inspired you! That's a big work load, i started with the intention of having my DE army finshed for 'muster to arms'......... hmmm.... maybe 2009 ;D but i dont mind, so if you just keep truckin' along, lift what interests you to do and don't be upset to be waylaid by some amazing mini (it'll be the AoW DE for me )... you'll get there in the end, but where there is who can tell!

Yeah it is indeed a lot of work, and I don't espect even half of it to be finished in a five year period lol. I want the Arnor and DA armies to be finished within the year so I can have some armies to play with. Afterall I will be living very close to GW, so I will be visiting GW very ofthen, and then it's nice to play some games. Oh no, why did you mention AoW? Now I need to update my list! ;D

I have wanted to do a banner bearer in my Arnor army. He will just count as a normal dunedain hero in my army list, only that he will look alot cooler ;D The conversion will be based on Pellenor Aragorn, with a banner instead of sword, a new head, and sword pointing downwards. Here is a sketch of what I want him to look like (lol!):

Haha lol it's a great banner isn't it? The banner will be a old banner dating back to the days of Elendil. It will be a numenorian inspired banner, not sure about what it will look like yet though. Any ideas?
I may do the chaos army sooner, and maybe even do the chaos army instead of the dark angels (and pushing the DA's back in the line). Btw the chaos will be word bearers, with ALOT of battle damage and dirty weathering. It will only be 400 points combat patrol, because i can't see myself finishing a big army lol, and because I think combat patrol is more fun than big games. And as many of you know, chaos will be redone in september/october, so i think that will be a good time to do a chaos army.

Wow, I wouldn't be able to paint that much in 20 years. The Aragorn mock-up is looking very good (for something made in Paint. ). I'd love to see how that Numenorean banner will look like. Cheers, Wolfie

now let's see some paint! You will see some paint, not just yet As you know, I am in the middle of a move, so I pretty much have nowhere to paint atm. But in a month or so, you will indeed see some of these ideas finally being painted

I bet you are thinking "Why won't that dude stop writing and actually do something for a change???!!!!!". I am in a kinda hard situation here. All of my stuff here at home is packed down, while my new apartment is still a WIP and not yet ready to be moved into. The apartment was a complete mess, and required much more work that what I had thougt at first. But it's not long now until I can finally move in, and I am eager to start doing some real work, not just the planning lol But I have got much time to play with ideas while I am working on my apartment.......... The Lord of Nurgle will be the same as the other mounted Lord of Nurgle I have done before. I liked it so much I got to do another. And this time, Jakob Nielsen has said he will help me along the way. and that's just perfect as I am using his version of the mini, and his style as inspiration. Ok here's a list over what I want to do with him - Horns growing out of the helmet and shoulder - A shield with the nurgle logo painted in blood - Maybe a little banner or tabbard with nurgle logo painted in blood - A dead tree on the base, with a crow sitting on it - He's standing on a little cliff, overlooking some nasty green water
