Starting a Warhammer Fantasy army - The Empire

I mentioned in an earlier article that, after searching for bits to use for conversions in an inquisitor warband, I was very tempted to start a Warhammer fantasy army. I took the plunge and bought 3 sets of state troopers off eBay, and they came to just over the price of a new set from GW! It is surprising how expensive a fantasy army can be considering they are sold in packs of 10 models and you need 20-40 in a unit.

The codex is in the post and once it arrives I am going to decide on the colour scheme. At the moment it is either going to be black and yellow, like the nights of the blazing sun, or red purple/blue and white/cream.
