I began to build the minis indecsrimently. Thankfully the minis are monopose and press fit, so it takes all decision making away from me.

I built a load of Gretchen from the biggest sprue. It turns out that there are spare torso options that have no bodies. I didn't want to lose these parts as potential models so with a fun conversion peaking out of barrels these will figure in my force.

I have friends that play 40k and a club with keen players, but I haven’t played 40k since Dark Imperium. I will be learning to play 11th edition as a novice, because I never truly learnt the rules when I played before and list building and min-maxing is a massive gaming turn off for me. Playing with what’s in a box plus a couple of selective additions suits me better building an army wise, rather than trying to start from scratch.

As these look fun and were the least expensive option on the shelf... And for no other army building sensible reason... These became my first purchase beyond the box.

Some minis have more painting appeal than others. I kinda want to find a crossover piece from AoS Orks. I always thought that some of the AoS Orks looked a bit out of place compared to other GW orcs, but this might make them more compatible in 40k aesthetically.

As soon as I built this fella I wanted to buy another one. Dakkarigs are cool. The people chopping up the Armageddon box minis on eBay are currently competing with each other quite fiercely on price. I was able to pick one up for £20 delivered. I think this will be set at a far less attractive price when the mini comes out separately later.
