Making some of the human-based forces from the HH books (like the Interex/Laer etc.) is a great idea also!<br /><br />Just a few thoughts :)Pacifichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16474407197167592680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-42493813756469113752009-10-07T01:56:57.860-04:002009-10-07T01:56:57.860-04:00I dunno, the trailer I saw made the new V look a b...I dunno, the trailer I saw made the new V look a bit weak. The effects were better, but the production design looks worse. <br /><br />The SGU premiere, on the other hand, rocked. :)SandWyrmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02265244938930651317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-60764863867830194852009-10-06T20:36:47.320-04:002009-10-06T20:36:47.320-04:00This is a great idea, have you seen the commercial...This is a great idea, have you seen the commercials for the remake of V? I'm looking to forward to watching this and the new series, I think I was about 10 maybe 11 when I was watching that show and I loved it!<br /><br />GrimChrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10464307806196697162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-61915309358137754612009-10-06T15:38:09.327-04:002009-10-06T15:38:09.327-04:00I think all the pre-Heresy armies are Space Marine...I think all the pre-Heresy armies are Space Marines.

Its a nice spin on just having a themed IG force, and will no doubt give you some really interesting modelling opportunities!<br /><br />Good luck with it, and if it doesn't work out remember that you could always try out a pre-heresy army! ;)Pacifichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16474407197167592680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-61866865585897414462009-10-05T11:08:53.860-04:002009-10-05T11:08:53.860-04:00Those helmets might work.
