Greetings,
My Favourite army is Space Marines, with Eldar second and IG a close
third. I like the Space marines because the ability to move where you want,
shoot who you want, do what you want for each unit allows my to cover the
inevitable mistakes I make in deployment and execution. In terms of
Background, the concept of genetically altered, superhumanly powerful,
fanatically loyal combat machines appeals to my megalomania.
With the Eldar, I love Falcons, and Jetbikes. Attacking like a
rapier on the battlefield, they're always doing something useful. And the
Eldar are the ultimate doomed Heroes. Fated to be the best in the galaxy,
yet unable to bring their full strength to bear, for fear of losing more
than they can afford.
IG, all I can say are two things.... "Talk softly and carry an IG
Artillery Company" "There's too many of them, we're being overrun"
Regards
Andrew Walliker
