The Great Reclamation Project

My kids and I have been playing a kid-friendly version of 40K for a few years now (everyone moves the same amount; everyone hits, wounds, and saves on a 4+), but lately, the kids have been asking to read rule books and codices.

So I figured it was time to start thinking about moving them into armies of their own.

The three of them each have fairly large collections of models.  These are mostly cast-offs from various failed projects, odds and ends I had laying around.  Their piles each have several Space Marines, some Guard models, random fantasy pieces, and a Skaven Mordheim warband (how did that get in there?).




So, because they are smart, and some pint-sized wheeler dealers, they negotiated a "buy back" program.  I agreed to replace their models for shiny new troops choices for their selected armies: tyranids, demons, and eldar.  It amounts to a four-to-one exchange ratio, and hopefully, we'll get to start playing "grown up" 40K soon.

Those boxes are on order from my FLGS, and now I get to stock up on Simple Green.
