Vive la revolution comrades!

2020 was a hell year for all of us, for multiple reasons. As of the time of writing, the year was one of the worst for me on a personal level in quite a long time. That said, there were also some highs, so its not all gloom.

With that said, and a month and 10 days in , I'm opening my 2021 blog here on DakkaDakka. My initial goal for this year is 365 miniatures equivalency, as per usual.

That is a great idea and a wonderful start.
Where are those armor suits from? those aren't Cities of Sigmar if I am correct.

Curious to see how you will put this conversion together ;)
This one is for your own collection?

Grrr, Imrahil
