The 'shunting' Dreadknights are pretty amazing and they're a very good buy in a pretty limited Codex.<br /><br />His is a newer army, as you can see from the fact he's still finishing off painting it. Mine is a slowly assembled collection, with the core of it dating back over seventeen years to my school days. As a result, there's a lot of 'fat' in my lists as I take WYSIWYG upgrades.<br /><br />These are the models we own. The difference in the decade of purchase of the core of the two armies really doesn't help me very much, nor does my playing several other systems.<br /><br />I have newer models sitting for the Ad Mech and Chaos that would likely fare a little better. But that won't happen while they're still on sprues. ;)The Responsible Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10377870574546599439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7227763568720419840.post-40803458234794094582016-07-28T23:19:45.860+01:002016-07-28T23:19:45.860+01:00A great looking battle, but ouch!
