        Right, I have 18 stands of Guardians and about 5 Jetbikes done
with sand. Then someone in the gaming group found their supply of
flock. It's so much nicer. I was wondering if anyone still based
using sand after discovering flock.

        I'm back down to under an hour per stand if I try. :) (More
like 30 minutes if it's rank + file, haven't tried the new fancy
infantry yet, that will probably be more than an hour.)
