Warhammer Fantasy Battles- I bought in…again!

Seems like I can never get away from Warhammer Fantasy. After I get rid of one army (Lizardmen), something else makes me buy back into the game even though I don’t play it all that much (though I’d like to). This time the impetus was having a gift card to The Game Preserve and not having anything to really spend it on. I just sold my Lizardmen army, but Brian working on his Dark Elves made me start thinking abou thte game again. At the Keystone branch of the GP, I saw a discounted Ogre Kingdoms Battalion. I then researched on-line as to whether it was a good deal and whether the Ogre Kingdoms are a decent army. The more I looked, the more I liked. No, they aren’t an uber-competitive army, but they are more of a finesse army than one might think. So I purchased the battalion and a Butcher model, which was also discounted to $25. I basically spent $100 for about 1,000 points worth of Ogres, which is about the point value Brian and I had talked about playing. All in all, a great deal. I’ve already started cutting the models from the sprues this morning. Excitement abounds!!
