Picking some stuff

The pattern for me with a new army tends to be I first go and get all the models I really like first, get frustrated with how the army plays, and start to round it out into a nicer force, while keeping the elements I really like. I originally wanted to use the HArbinger for this reason, but she was unavailable when I was in the store, so I blagged Reznik, who also looks pimp.

So, as Skell mentioned, we got some stuff. We have a Highlander tournament coming up on the 13th of June, so I wanted to get anough stuff to try and get a painted force together for it. I'm definitely taking Reznik, so I just had to get a jack, a unit, and a solo.

I pretty much just figured I might as well buy some expensive (points wise) stuff to fill out the points. The Avatar doesn't use jack points, so it was out, so I ordered the Fire of Salvation, which should do OK with Reznik. I also grabbed Exemplar Bastions, since they look awesome, block LOS to Reznik, and from all I have read seem like an all round solid unit, and probably fairly forgiving for beginners. For the solo, I really liked the look of High Paladin Dartan Villmon, and he also appears in Harby's tier list.

I must have missed the send button on the original order, so when I eventually submitted it, I also added Harby and a plastic jack, which I will magnetise.

When we went back to the store, I grabbed a max unit of Knights Examplar Errant, half a Choir, an Avatar, and some Cinerators. Yes, I know the Cinerators are crap, but they look pimp and are in Reznik's Tier list, so I'll end up using them a bit at some point.
