Help!! Help I'm relapsing!! I'm seeing... RED!!!
(side note, I know I haven't been here in a while, but to sum up my Wargaming exploits in a few sentences: Angels: probably still on hold, more fun to write about than to model and paint, Imperial Guard/Daemons: On hold/abandoned because there are new demons coming out, and I'm sure I can think of something much better than that idea :P Vampires: lack of paint scheme put me on hold, but I decided to say 'fuck it' and start building them now, while I'm still looking for a paint scheme. And that's essentially it, so, if I may return you to your regularly scheduled program:)
That's right, commie fever has struck again! I'd wager that there were two major causes for this Backslide (which, if I may clarify, is only in my wargaming and not in my politics. I've been down the red road once, i don't think I'll be going back soon. While it's a fantastic idea, I just find socialism so much more realistic :P) The first of which being i saw these really cool models on GW while perusing:
They're called Vostroyan troops and are essentially a faction of the Imperial Guard, one that represents the USSR, in the same way that the Death Corps are modeled after the Nazis and the Talliban- *ahem* 'scuse me, the Talleran represent Middle East Dessert fighters. And the Catchatans represent Rambo. Essentially.
The other source of inspiration, was that I stumbled (literally, not the web browsing site) on a video that I hadn't seen in years. Back in Freshman year of high school, my english teacher showed us an Anime video called "cannon fodder", part of a three 'episode' collection, collectively called Memories. I won't sum up the whole thing here because I really really really really think you should go watch it HERE.
I was going to describe the army idea here, but I'm having trouble being eloquent :P Really, there would have been stories of a war torn country fighting an enemy shrouded in nuclear winter, and the people fighting for the glory of their nation without knowing why. Ill work on the story later for now, here's the models!
The main troops, the stormtroopers, would have the arms and torsos of regular guardsmen, the legs of the Grave Guard and these really cool heads I found:
On second thought I'll post the pictures later, when my internet isn't slower than dial-up :P
And suddenly the second half of this post turns into an epic fail!! Wooooo! How can I save this post... gaaah... I know!! A picture of a cute girl/preview of things to come if I ever fix this post!!!
