Given also that I dropped out of Uni, I'll have to tackle them when I'm more up for a fight!<br /><br />Nothing about Ray guns or MP38/40's so I see an extended surf for add-on rules in my immediate future - Great!

[voice off-stage] I'M the reg....anyway, as any regular followers of my blog will have detected, I'm no fan of GW, so tend to look at the pretty pictures and just fantasize when surfing (or regularly following) rather than reading toe blurb too closely.<br /><br />Am I to understand you can field anything against anything with HOTT? I've advocated this for years, it means the rivet-counters and camouflage 'experts' can stay home whining on a forum somewhere and everyone else can have fun!<br /><br />I have a handful of dead Wasps somewhere and a Hornet in the 'cabinet of curious things', I'm sure they'd make an army, and then I could do something with tea-bags? Can you do HOTT solo?Hugh Walterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10689023221814673819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447293089931737000.post-32627379382931469792010-08-18T22:07:49.655+01:002010-08-18T22:07:49.655+01:00Dear ZZ

So it stands to reason that edible armies are the way forward. Perhaps GW's move from white metal into plastic is just a transitional phase, en route to injection moulded fudge.Zzzzzzhttp://www.devos4.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
