Eep, I got a reply from Zap Rowsdower, the man himself! I've been looking forward to this. :D Big MST3k fan.

Aaanyway, yeah, back in the day I started painting him simply because I liked the models so much. Wanted to use him as a referee/rules lawyer in games on the sideline.
I was originally going to base my Avatar off Dirk Hardpeck from Space Mutiny but the name was unavailable

I adore your army. They look outstanding. There is something that really hits the spot with these older models painted to such a high standard - especially the 6th edition-era multipart plastic and hybrid kits.

One day, when the kids are all grown up and my life consists of nothing but free time and Warhammer, I'd like to able to achieve something like this.

Until then though, I shall continue to look at armies like yours with nothing but awe and respect. Very, very, very well done!

@Rowsdower: You should have put your faith in Blast Hardcheese. ;)

@Count James: Thanks very much! Yeah, I'd love to get some more work done on that army. Managed to at least prime 36 halbardiers. Not sure if I'll actually paint them next, because I'm kinda eager to dig into those Landsknecht boxes. Or the knights box. But let's see. For now I'm knee-deep in a Stormcast Eternals army I have to finish for a gentleman who wants to play them in his next tournament around the end of the month, and the past two weeks I kinda fell back to getting a giant robot toy painted and whatnot. Gotta get back to Warhammerin'. Actually, a friend of mine invited me to a game of 5th edition tomorrow (featuring his fantastic Empire and O&G armies), but I had to cancel due to other commitments.
