I've been trying to come up with a way to work in some Marine Bikers or some termies. I think some firewariors are going to have a chain sword and there maybe be a few enhanced bolsters floating around too!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08155130404273160715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1404909755379335733.post-54228441264136755132012-07-06T11:08:49.421-05:002012-07-06T11:08:49.421-05:00As I mentioned to you in person the other day, I&#...As I mentioned to you in person the other day, I'm excited about Allies as well. Now I get to build an army that represents my Craftworld Eldar and their Pirate/Corsair fleets (i.e. Dark Eldar) that I've written into their story. I just went out and bought my scourges yesterday!! I even found myself heavily contemplating buying the Dark Eldar fighter!Chronowraithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16305059671158364198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1404909755379335733.post-90577498938371608222012-07-06T10:24:50.553-05:002012-07-06T10:24:50.553-05:00I'm all for the allies.

Now I really CAN have some of everything!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12035715759626775321noreply@blogger.com
