I think we are starting to rob this guys painting thread, but see what happens when the painting is this good.
I keep resisiting the temptation to buy those new archers because I got so many other units that need work, and I'm not sure what I'd use them for at the moment either.
think back as far as you can remember, think what you would have now if you had bought it then, with GW you never know what is going to be on the shelves for years (Emp Knights) and what may only last a year if that long. If you like it buy it now while you can, you can always sell it on ebay in a few years if you never use it. Oh and those archers are worth it, just for the parts if nothing else. steveb
steveb ... you're bad, and not good for my wallet either.
I was in a hobby store this evening, and didn't walk past the WFB section on purpose because of those darn archers. At the moment, I'm trying to complete 9 deffkoptas, and then after that, I'm hoping to return my attention to my Empire army which has plenty of unfinished units waiting for me to work on them. Besides, my birthday and the holdiay season aren't too far off as well.
But yes, I get what you mean. Kind of like me ordering the current White Dwarf model before it disappears, which will get added to the other dwarfs from the 7th edition starter set, that I haven't done anything with yet, except rob the cannon for an extra one for some games with my nephews, and the cart and pony used as a baggage train for a few scenarios. Oh, and by the way ... bought(ordered) my first Empire model in months (been buying 40K Orks since early June) ... the new Captain with sword and sheild. Not sure I'll add him to my Averland army, but I've been wanting to paint him since I first saw him months back. The archers seem so good for the price, and I'm itching to win a prize at some point to pick up some of the new great swords (the recent WD with the main feature being the Empire was very inspiring for connversions), and eventually my first steam tank, too.
