Here are some less than perfect quality photos setup within my Reman Legion site:

So far I played one game against a local VC player of moderate quality (not GT quality, so not really a good test) and won with over 600 points difference... and he was lucky to not be massacred.
I am taking this to the Dallas, TX GT "The Lonewolf" next weekend and hope to make the equivelent of 3 wins and 2 draws with decent sports and painting scores. I'll report the details in one week!
It is obviously much tougher than my Reman Legions; specifically it carries 2x Stubborn units, 3x Unbreakable units, 2x Cannons, 2x Wizards, & Support Cav+Infantry. Mostly it is a direct assualt army that will just try to give a head-to-head battle with all the nastiness out there and possibly win. Though it is a bit random in many departments, but deffinitly not whenit comes to protection from fear/terror/lost combat. I hate watching myEmpire just dissapear as I get overwhelmed by skeletons! It also doesn't hurt my brain as much to think about so many moves at one time. This makes GT's much more enjoyable and thus makes me a slightly nicer person. In fact I expect I'll be tossing out random Holy Grail quotes the whole time I play jjst to distract/make the game more entertaining.
