That was quicker than expected. 100 Marines reached!
Captain Zeibron Huelsenbach of the Death Strike 2nd Company reporting for duty.
Better photos when I get all of them out on parade in a couple of days. Just so happy to be over that 100 man mark. (looks over at pile of unfinished Marines) Yes, happy. Feel like I’ve broken the back of this, and I may even buy something new for them to celebrate. (stares harder at groaning pile of unfinished Marines) Okay, maybe not yet TBH. Lolcakes.
NB – all the names for the characters for the Death Strike stem from the home planet being “Nihilas” – I decided they’d be “Nihilists” – so have taken names/places to do with Nihilism/Dada etc. This guys surname is a nod to Richard Hulsenbeck – the guy that stabbed a knife into a dictionary to find the name “Dada” as the name for the avant garde “anti-art” movement. Who knew wargaming could be so enlightening? Wondering how to work the “Nihilist terrorists” from the Big Lebowski into it too, and have also promised never to call anyone Nietzsche cos it’d be too obvious, even though the Strike Cruiser is called the Zarathustra, from one of his best known works.
