I dream of Vraks

[fullmetaljacket]

Hey Gents 
 its been awhile since ive posted anything on here but lately ive been working on my siege of vraks campaign. SO YOUR THINKING OH COOL THIS GUY IS PLAYING A SERIES OF GAMES REVOLVING AROUND THE  CAMPAIGN SIEGE OF VRAKS.  WRONG !!!  LMAO 
 I began about 4 years ago when i picked up Death Korps of Krieg and fell in love with them. Now i have so much i dont even have a good estimated guess, ... just saying ... anyway i got stationed in DC across the country from my beloved 11th assault korps  back home.   so i decided to start building  the other armies from the siege of vraks camaign to include Dark angels, grey knights, red scorpions, angels of absolution, inquisitors, titans, red hunters,  nurgle and khorne daemons, death guard, world eaters , bezerkers, renegade guard , and alpha legion .  yeah i think thats it ....  the armies are going to range from 500 - 5000  points of each, right now im almost dont with the death guard portion, hopefully finishing up with most of the painting this weekend .
 ill post pics and make a project blog.  in the future i hope to make a huge diorama of the citadel, the wall, the waste lands  etc.    
     
 anyway  this is my dream. i hope to add to this by also doing a Pandorax board and anphelion project board .   maybe a war for Armageddon 
     
                        am i crazy  
                                  thanks for reading my pointless rant. 
                                              if youd like to see my updates on this whole thing i want to do, please leave a comment to motivate me to start taking pictures and post them at least monthly

No, it's not crazy. I think it'd be totally cool. Whether you have the time and wealth to do it is another thing, but there's nothing wrong with making the effort.

I once wanted to build and paint one of every plastic set GW has made. Eh.

[that1guy]

That's crazy ambitious, maybe financially suicidal but....

--death guard? Can I hope to see waves of zombie cultists?

[fullmetaljacket]

@that1guy
so far ive ordered, about 40 mantic zombies and 20 third party zombies from russia. that resemble death krops of krieg!!
i have 20ish ghouls! some nid bits , beastmen and was looking to pick up the death watch box to make some good looking zombies!
i now stand a 30 blood letters, 50 bezerkers, angrath, scabeathrax, a chaos warhound, a brass scorpion, mammon and uruka unbound! and have ordered the plague ogryns and blight drones.
i have alot of renegade guard that needs to be painted, mix of the gw cultist and the FW upgrades! i need to get pics up!
as for dkok... i am heading home in 2 weeks and ill be taking them all out to get accountability to what i actually have lol
its alot !
anyway my dream is coming along nicley and its all being paid for by selling alot of my extra warhammer stuff and commision painting!

Ive also started a design plan for an outdoor patio, weather proof or possibly a full on building to keep this huge battle in.
I've come to the conclusion that the room would be at minimum 25 ft by 25 ft to provide enough room for players to walk around comfortably, and a shed next to it for terrain storage. ide prefer actually a building or room for this . say a garage or loft , so that models and terrain can be left out for storage and display purposes

wow - this is an epic adventure!

how are you managing the time needed to paint and create all these wonderful things?

I am currently trying to construct a scenario table for an apoc game that is 12' x 4' and that's giving me enough of a headache - i can't really imagine building a shed / garage + painting about 10 armies + terrain!

good luck!

(word to the wise - it is better to complete one project before starting another - unless you like lots of half finished projects nagging at you!)

[fullmetaljacket]

So currently I'm in the corps and. Working on the chaos armies while I am still in, and working on commission painting to fund my ventures,
I'll be getting out in jan-feb 2018 and I'll have about 9 months until I return to school in which I hope to finish the death korps army

[fullmetaljacket]

The board and the patio is the last thing, I'll be doing,
First I need a house (hahaha)

[fullmetaljacket]

So working on my evil armies currently
My defenders of vraks army is coming on nicely,
I'm trying to keep this renegade guard army looking " ragtag " but still organized in a mlitia. Type of manner
