You are a bad man and you should feel bad.
I don't even like the Reaver models very much. They're really ugly. Whereas the stylised dog heads on those Warhounds are neat.
One of the things the appealed to me about the game was the sense of scale. If I buy anything else for it, it'll be scenery. There some really cool 3d printed buildings you can get for it.

You might also consider more Questoris Knights- having a second banner really opens up some strategic options and the new book is focused on Knights. Cerastus Knights are another good add- but there are no control terminals for them. The lances are really bad ass. They sort of slot in between a Warhound and a Knight Banner.
The spires look awesome. I have around 2.5 sets of the Grand Master set’s Terrain. It’s really good, but sort of shitty to build. Prepare for gaps. And there isn’t much guidance in terms of variety so you are kind of on your own. I am only using Civitas Imperials with AT- I do not want to start another terrain collection at this scale.

This thought comes after a two-hour game (my simple-playing Stormcast vs the impossibly finicky Tzeentch) in which I dropped my team, failed all of my charge rolls, lost a quarter of them on my opponent’s turn, failed to keep initiative, and then lost the game on my opponent’s second turn. Effectively, I just answered questions for two hours and removed figures when prompted. It was...demeaning.
The campaign is run a bit cultishly, with people earning points for playing extra games and for painting bits of the store’s terrain for “hobby points,” whatever that is, such that the winner of the campaign will be the one who performs the most unpaid labor.
I’ve been trying to explain things like Dragon Rampant or even Gaslands to the group, and it’s as if I were asking them to try on assless Furry costumes and wrestle. “Uh, the store’s thinking of having a ‘children’s day,’ is that what you mean?” How to explain to people that the mountain they think they’re climbing is actually a pit?
Anyway, my wife and I have been doing assless Furry wrestling at home, ie, combining Microscope RPG with Dragon Rampant, using games of Dragon Rampant to play out the Microscope “scenes”, and it’s been just about the best gaming either of us have ever done. We just wish we had our old friends here to try it.
I’ll write up some reports elsewhere.
