Hello everyone,
I am trying to come to a decision! and need your help! I need you to channel all your brain power whether its a lot or a little to help me come to a decision!
SO i have posted about whether or not i wanted to play elysian drop troops or valhallans and vostroyans, well i dropped the idea of playing vostroyans, and turned down the offer, i also changed my mind on the elysian drop troops, i couldn't bring myself to love the models enough to make the purchase, something about the visors that i just dont like.
anyway, so far i have come to liking Valhallans. i have only purchased about 30 of them so far because the deal was to good to pass on ebay. i also have quite the side project of imperial fist and dark angels going but all those purchases were made and are done. i have already created and continuously working on a huge DKOK army because they are my absolute favorite! Words cant describe the fun ive had building modeling and making this army, and the continuous pleasure of adding artillery batteries tanks and men to its ranks.
So getting to the point. I have come across an offer from a man over in the UK to sell me his entire collection of VAlhallans which has numbered over 300 models,( commissars, officers, heavy weapons, everything!) the actual valhallan models! i was estatic, he is asking a pretty hefty price though so i'm having second thoughts. i love the army but do i love the army that much?
It would be a huge purchase but even so PUTTING MONEY ASIDE, how often would i use them?? they would be mainly an all infantry/ heavy weapons/ artillery force. The plan was to purchase this lot along with valdor tank hunters and "count as manticores" russian WW2 rocket trucks. They would be the lucky 13th penal battalion! sent on usually suicide missions and charges to retake a city or hill... they would be painted to standard WW2 colors.
I had fun with just my 32 models and some russes the other night fighting against my buddy and playing into the russian ww2 movie stereotypes, no offense to anyone at all, but i had a great time.
and in the future i can see myself using them in maybe a game or two here and there but mainly in apocalypse games, running side by side next to my DKOK( or just nearby in a city or something), and its just a cool looking army to have on display after im out of the marine corps.
the other option is to just continue working on my DKOK as my main army, buying more platoons of men, more batteries of artillery and more super heavies ( reaver titan) turn down his offer for the huge army, and maybe buy some more models from GW or off ebay to build a much smaller force, like 2000 points for standard games, just to get my Russian WW2 "stuck in the future" fix that i love so much.
SO Should i dive into this huge lot? will i get tired of all the metal and same poses??? if for some reason in the future i want to get rid of them or had to, would i make or lose money? If i walked into a Hobby store to play a huge game, would you thinks its cooler to see a ton of Valhallans next to a ton of DKOK or just a huge DKOK army with literally, companies of men, tanks and arty, ( following the siege of vraks layout) including all the extra stuff no one buys like the towing vehicles, the support atlases, and literally hundreds of DKOK guardsmen??
what do you think?
