And the winner is...

After much debate, debacle, and debauchery I have decided the next army I will accumulate will be Lizardmen. I can't help it, I love the aztec-like style of the armor, weaponry, civilization, etc. etc.I know I'm going to have so much fun painting these guys, from the brooding Saurus (above) to the agile Skinks (my picture coming soon!). There's quite a few choices in this army to work with and I know I'll have a good time with this. And, it's a terrific deviation from my Orcs & Goblins.

It was really close between these guys and dwarfs. Dwarfs were the guys I originally wanted to start with years ago but that never really came to fruition. I've always had a connection with dwarfs in the fantasy world, dunno why. I like the machinery they have, but the lack of cavalry is a real ball-buster. I was also considering tomb kings, because they're egyptian undead and they were just updated a few months ago (i love the smell of a band new army book in the morning)

For those of you who don't know me, I'm a lore whore with just about every game I play. When there is a well-developed world full of characters "doin' crazy shit" I can't help but immerse myself in it. To date, my favorite "worlds" are the Warcraft universe, League of Legends, and Warhammer. For LoL, I believe I've read just about every champions back story, and they are amazing to read, if just for a snippet of their long lifetimes.

NOTHING GETS MY DICK HARD LIKE SOME GOOD LORE

Uh, yeah

But why explain my love for lore? Well, Lizardmen have the greatest footing in the lore of Warhammer. These guys have been around forever, since time began, and they fought off some of the craziest armies, only to be abandoned by their gods and left to rot. Now, they eek out a living while still remaining proud, and hopeful their gods will return and smite their foes. They want some serious smiting to happen. And some of their most revered priests are frogs, for cryin' out loud.

Can't forget the  Kroxigors. Love that name
