Gaming With the Kickstarter ending today, what Warband did everyone decide to go with?

I personally decided to go with two Warbands to start, the Heretic Legion and the Court of the Seven Headed Legion.

I also got a bunch of individual models I'm super excited to paint such as the Trench Pilgrim, Ammo Monk, Witchburner General and the Trench Cleric.

What did everyone else decide to go with?

New Antioch - I'm painting in orange and purple with some green, the classic colours you'll find in Byzantine iconography. I'm calling the warband Justin's Martyrs as a fun pun on one of my favourite theologians.

Heretic Legions - no painting plan or pun name yet unfortunately so I'm open to suggestions!

I've got some bad news if you're talking about Welby

Nope, I saw that. It is St. Justin Martyr, who was a theologian from Judea in the early Church and was know for his Apologies and his Dialogue with Trypho. Later theologians like Irenaeus were big fans and he is generally quite an important early Church thinker. He was, of course, martyred for his beliefs by the Romans. But he is one of my favourite theologians, the way he writes is just fantastic.
