Long time no see everyone. Followers may be surprised to see a blog post pop up after such a long time. I was just going over my Blog and I started it six years ago yesterday. That seems like forever ago. So let me explain my extended absence.
I had jumped in with two feet with Genestealer Cults. I have always loved the fluff and couldn't pass up using the new miniatures. I had a lot of success with them but felt slighted by the fact that a new edition was coming out shortly after I had started them. I had written off 40K but as always it sucks me back in.
I have been hearing nothing but good things about Astra Militarum. More specifically, Infantry was ruling the battlefield again. I could think of no better excuse to dust off my Praetorians and get them back into the fight. I will need to crank out about 50 more infantry and rough riders to complete my proposed list. I am posting it here for your input. It is a Brigade Formation for the +9 Command Points. All Keyword Praetorian. The equipment on the characters is WYSIWYG not what I think is most effective. Let me know what you think.
