Kinda like doing Chaos. My second 40k army was Chaos.
This started as a build an army project - sort of like the old White Dwarf Tale of 4 Gamers things. Then I went abroad for work, that kinda screwed it up.
On the other hand I do have all the bits to make about 1750 to school league rules. Combine this with an actual wish to collect a chaos force (for about the 3rd or 4th time..) and you have a recipe for something that will likely just keep going and going. I hope. If not conversion time :)
Anyway. This has since expanded out to an idea of a multi legion force. Death Guard (cos, Nurgle you know) and World Eaters (cos Kharn). There'll be a mech section (maybe Iron warriors. Maybe not) and some Word Bearers to tie it up. What Can I say? Black Legion seems too Space Smurfish* to me. The Chaos army is the primary force here. the 'Nids are there to break it up a wee bit I think. That or I should just settle down and consign myself to PA for ever more lol ;)
So what do I have that makes this seem a pain? Well..
Death Guard
Typhus (converted and kinda mostly painted)
5 Death Guard Terminators (Mostly painted)
2 7 mane squads of plague marines (mostly painted)
7 Bikers (part assembled..)
30 odd marines worth of Forge World conversion kit
2 and a half boxes of Chaos marines
Forge world special, heavy and bolt guns
That's probably about 2k points there I think..
Word Bearers
1 lord (Dark Vengeance) (Part Painted)
Dark Apostle
7 Chosen (Dark Vengeance + the plastic Asp. Champ) (3 painted)
20 assorted cultists As well as any old Necromunda models I can find. May as well you know.
Mech Bit
1 Warpsmith
1 Decimator.
3 Fiends (thinking 2 Forge, 1 mauler)
3 Hell Drakes
1 Hell Brute (from Dark Vengeance)
Yeah, needing to paint that lot..
Should be noted my losing streak with my Death Guard is kinda epic. But hey - who cares?
Now my first task is to stick the guys with finished bases to their bases, finish painting the ones that still need the bases finished then get them stuck down. In future until I'm doing something real special with the base the feet get stuck down and based like that... Basing separately is a pain. Basing is a pain.
Once that's done get them termies finished, and get the bikes assembled, posed, based and painted. After that? One Daemon Engine. Just go like that. Or Paint one non DG unit along with a DG unit. Break it up a wee bit.
*Space Smurfs. Ultra Marines. So named cos they is blue and generic with someone who can do anything.
