the choices...............................

so I've weighed up the pros and cons, and i have decided that I'm going to complete my dark eldar army. And then call it a day with GW`s products, i may pick up the odd model here and their but that will be about it.

Now the past few days I've been looking on the internet at different ranges and their are several ranges that i like the look off.
Some i've had my eye on for sometime and some i own already lets start off with the ones with the most appeal at the moment.

Judge Dredd by Mongoose publishing: The rules are free and the newer models look fantastic. For the basic gangs you can use what ever you want. At the moment this is i the lead with me.

Along with

Dr Who by Crooked Dice: Another free set of rules and as i have a soft spot for Dr Who, and loads of models from Harlequin models. This too is a winner at the moment.

Incursion by Grind House Games: I picked the boxed set up for this last year (2010) as its a niffty little board game as opposed to a war game. I'm waiting on the new supplement which is due any time.

last on the list is.......
7TV by Crooked Dice: based on the Dr Who game above, this is the 3rd edition and is set in the world of cult tv think the avengers, the saint, etc. Now cult TV is something close to my heart (i was brought up on 60's and 70's TV.

As most of these are skirmish games I will probably end up doing 2 or 3 of them.

A dark dark time..............................

Well April and may have been strange months for me. Not quite sure why but i've had no get up and go as far as my dark eldar, blood angels go. it may have something to do with the fact that my now ex wife kicked me out this time last year. Or it may be the fact that GW has announced citadel finecast as the replacement for metal. Now i don`t want to get into a rant about price increases quality control etc.......
But i`m fast becoming little bit annoyed with GW i know their models are great but i cannot justify the price of them any more.
And so i have to make a choice.....
Do i carry on collecting as i used to......or
Do i give up and head to other companies?

I have all the blood angels in metal so i`m not going to need any of them in finecast, and the dark eldar i only need the new releases that are out the end of the month.

my choice at the moment is to buy what i need at call it a day, but only time will tell.........................
