As the Emperor Wills

I have a question; how many captains is enough? Is there such a thing as having too many captains? (Ok, that's actually two questions) In the last few days (from when I wrote this), Games Workshop announced a new Captain Centos miniature to celebrate a milestone store opening (or something like that. I'll be honest, after seeing the mini, I kind of lost interest in the words that came with the image). This new Captain is both a beautiful looking mini as well as an Ultramarine, something which would work well with my Ultramarine army as well as a fun painting project. However, while I am VERY tempted and am going to try and get a hold of a copy (ahh, this must be that FOMO I've heard so much about), I do wonder if, from an army building perspective, a purchase of Centos is a little excessive. This is because, presently, my miniature collection, which includes an Ultramarine army of barely 2,000 points, contains four Captains; Uriel Ventris, Captain Messinius, Cap...

It's been a couple of months since I wrote about painting my Hospitaller and, since then, I've also completed the Tau Invocation of the Elements and the Outnumbered miniature of Galen and Doralia Van Denst from Age of Sigmar.

A couple of months ago I purchased Warhammer Underworlds Embergard as well as the Revenant of the Realms warband collection. I had always been a big fan of the sculpts for the Crimson Court warband and when the new edition of Underworlds came out, I thought it would be a worthy acquisition, especially as it would be a nice little introduction game to play with my kids. Unfortunately, it didn't quite work out on the gameplay front (maybe when the kids are older). However, this has left me with six warbands consisting of 29 character level miniatures to paint, a nice change of pace to all the units I've done in the last...
