I always liked the way the background was built on from the Fantasy Slann and giving them the link from the Space Slann to the fantasy Slann. <br />That's why I based them on 25mm Square bases so they can fit in better with the fanatsy Slann if I ever played one of the rule book/Warhammer Siege scenarios about supporting primiative/medieval armies. <br /><br />Painting them, I wanted to give that very alien and slightly out of place feel, very similar to graphic novels, and the old Sci-Fi book covers, with a dash of early Roxy Music! I did have a larger 40k Slann army converted up from some Warhammer Slann, but when I re-did the Fantasy army I disbanded them and added them to it and kept the 40k army with just the TSF18 miniatures. <br /><br />Good ideas for the army. I do have an old American magazine from the 1990's called Dark Libary which did a big feature on a re-vamped Slann army for 2nd Edition 40k. I will have to find it and put in on the blog. <br /> The Slann were a great missed opportunity, and many of the ideas they could have used are now coming to the fore with the Necrons. Slann vs Necrons would be a fun thing as the Necron background mentions their war with the 'Old Ones', which were the Slann in the older background. <br /><br />Goblin Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14931436821182962785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4266200265116124990.post-68246886037003013652013-08-19T08:52:16.006+01:002013-08-19T08:52:16.006+01:00Lee, dude, seriously...

I haven't been able to remove the space slanns form my mind since I first saw them in the RT rulebook.<br />I guess you amongst all people deserve to get the full collection so they are in good hands I know. You tretaing them like ni thos old SF graphic novels is a very good idea, it's actually the way I see them as well.<br />Always felt their was so much to be done with this army, I've even considered building a converted army with stone dreadnaughts made of ruin parts bound with magic, but that would be a LOT of work, maybe some time ...
