So, I know at least my wallet is concerned and curious about what Fantasy army I decided on working on.... And I did decide.
The decision is: Im not.
I like Fantasy, its fun to play and the models are really nice, and there are new rules coming out this year. But it always seems to be "back burner" compared to my 40k projects. So, I am cutting it entirely for 2010, in favor of working on 40k and something else....
The something else is Warmachine. Probably Hordes as well. Ive been thinking on this for a while now... I think Im going to finish painting my Cryx up (really not all that much to do) and actually put some work into my Cygnar force. Maybe some Legion as well, maybe.
Ive noticed that a local game store (Games and Stuff in Glen Burnie) has open Warmachine on Sundays, so I might head over for that on weekends that D&D gets cancelled...

Grand Army of the Imperium
The Red Scorpions.
The Silver Skulls.
The Blood Angels.
The Space Wolves.
The Black Templars.
The Dark Angels.
The Imperial Fists.
The Marines Errant.
The Ultramarines.
Nine Space Marine Chapters, each proud defenders of the Imperium. Each one of these will be included in my 2010 40k project. I know, I know... the goal of this project was to cut down the number of different armies Im working on, not to include them all under one banner. Well, after discussing the idea with my brother, I decided to cut the whole project in half. Its just the Space Marines for now. The Inquisition and Imperial Guard elements are going to be shelved for now. I may add them back in later on this year, or maybe wait til next year. It all depends on how happy I am with the progress of the army as it goes.
With that done, that makes this a lot more manageable. Im still not going to make a specific plan for it all, but Ive been thinking that I want some kind of rough goal for each of the Chapters. So: Battle Forces or Task Forces. Each of these will get one of these descriptors.
A Battle Force will be capable of fighting nearly anything on their own (much like how the Red Scorpions prefer to fight), usually a battle company plus attachments from the 1st/10th and armory.
Task Forces will be smaller armies usually with a specific goal (a Dark Angels Master with a few squads plus some Ravenwing and Deathwing following rumors of a Fallen perhaps...). Probably a few squads from different companies. Sometimes even less.
So, which will be which?
Red Scorpions: Battle Force.
Silver Skulls: Task Force.
Blood Angels: Task Force.
Space Wolves: Task Force.
Black Templars: Task Force.
Dark Angels: Task Force.
Imperial Fists: Battle Force.
Marines Errant: Battle Force.
Ultramarines: Task Force.
Nice and easy to start off with. Those that are already larger armies get called Battle Forces, and those that are limited to just a few squads are called Task Forces. This does not preclude a Task Force from growing into a Battle Force if I decide to add more to them...
