So as i was trying to get some painting done tonight. If any of you have small children will know, painting or any kind of model work is never easy with the kiddos around. I was working on my Daemon Prince for the upcoming tournament "Brawler Bash" my wonderful son was wanting to paint also.
He first came by as i was working on a Chariot of Khorne and wanted to paint one. As having an extra chariot ($40 i think?) is not ever gonna happen i tried to scare him with the Daemon Prince. My son is a pretty heroic kind of kid and asked, " what's his name?" as i was not set with his name just yet i asked what he thinks it should be.
So tomorrow or thurs i will post pics of my wonderful Daemon Prince of Khorne " Blackie Horse Killer of cowboys, he shoots cowboys off horse!" wow

So it was time to start yet another Fantasy army!
My local gaming groups do NOT play Warhammer Fantasy! We have in the past and sadly it lasts a couple months and most people stop playing and go back to 40K. I for one prefer Fantasy over 40K ( i grew up in love with fantasy movies and books more than Sci-Fi. (Star Wars is Sci-Fi/Future/Fantasy)
So after years of playing D&D in the late 70s to late 80s (yes i still do) i decided to play Warhammer Fantasy, now i had friends who had more cash than i did and as i spent my cash on skateboards and beautiful ladies i did not have much cash for models. So i played whatever army other people let me play at the local game store and friends houses.
Move foward to the late 90s and i decided to start my own army. I had a few Vampire Counts and just could not get the colors i wanted. Then i was informed everyone in the area plays 40K so i bought a HUGE Tyranid army (like 5k+pts) and painted them all like Lady Bugs. I kicked ass at the first tourney i went to (i think it was mostly cos people were checking out the army and not paying attention or it was dice kharma)
Anywho, around a year later i bought a Warriors of Chaos army, mostly the old ugly ass models
This time i decided to go with Warriors of Chaos........ again. I got lucky in that not long after i started the army (for the 3rd time now) a new army book came out. I love the new models, some are over priced but i tend not to complain about GW prices as its a hobby and cheaper than drugs, drinking and hookers. So i started another Themed army. MORE BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD as it were!!!!

Anywho, around a year later i bought a Warriors of Chaos army, mostly the old ugly ass models
I had around 2000pts of just the warriors and around 500+ pts of old metal ones cos for some reason (just like the Genestealers from old days, at one point i owned over 100 genestealers) everyone who owned any gave them to me for free. It was insane. Around the time i finished painting the whole army. GW released the now current Warrior model. So i was starting the army over again as they looked much better. Everyone quit playing so after sitting on the shelf for over a year they were sold. I moved and found new people who loved Fantasy as much as i do and after a huge Orc and Goblin army, made another WoC army.(then a Daemon army and a Empire army) and after a while with no games i sold those as well.
At one point i had 5 40k armies around the house and other various models and the wife told me i have lost my mind, i agreed and decided to narrow things down. I now have a Space Wolf army, a Flames of War American army, a Battletech Clan army, an Orc Blood Bowl team, a Dwarf Mordheim group and decided it was time to make another attempt at my true gaming love Warhammer Fantasy!This time i decided to go with Warriors of Chaos........ again.
