I dissagree. Drop the Assasin bugs completely and get more spider bugs instead.

What small African tribe have you kidnapped to do the painting for you? :?

Don't suppose you've done some scratch numbers and a competing MI list? :shock:

I'm guessing he's a "bug dipper". assemble them then dump them into polyeurathane. Then shake dry.

If I did my ring pattern on 100 warriors, my wife would divorce me.

I can't begrudge anyone for dipping to get an army done.

Heck, I had a bunch of MI sitting on a desk for three months then one day they were all assembled and painted :shock: . Turns out a staffer of mine got sick of looking at them so he took them home and painted them all up overnight.

Oh I've nothing against those who dip figures, Stratos and Billy C have some nicely dipped bugs. I'm just saying that an army that size you'd have to have a quick way to mass produce them.

its also not the perfect army.

not enough warrior bugs in comparison to other types of bugs.

plus what points value is he aiming for here ?

 

[Dr. Rooster]

Many many thousands. Like....at least.....4000 man! :shock:

Actually, the first three entries total around 4000. I don't have my books in front of me, and I don't know what upgrades these bugs have, but off the top of my head this looks to be a 14,440pt. list! I'de love to see someone total up the real world cost of this! :lol:
