So, I thought I would finally give this a go.
I have been into Warhammer of various flavours since I was a kid (Advaned Heroquest and Space Marine Epic). Now I am 35 and only really taken an interest in the hobby again in the past year. I lean mainly towards 40k fluff wise but love to see awesome painted WHFB armies and read the battle reports. However, my main love is with 30/40k...
But...
I have never played a game. Not once. I don't even own the 6th Ed rule book. I will eventually and it remains my ambition but for now I just want to get some standard models painted up and one or two units that I love from a fluff perspective. I have no idea what is or is not competitive. I have no idea how many points I will sink into a certain tactical squad configuration. I am making it up as I go along but to play it safe I will only initially concentrate on troops/units/individuals where I know my modeling and load out is legal. So I am a bit limited to begin with with the idea that this blog will motivate me to get out there and start to plan this army out and build something I can take to the gaming table. Something that allows me to strike a balance between fluff and remaining competitive.
What I have:
Approx enough Marines to make up 2 Tac squads: (Some of these have already been modeled and painted up in a previous attempt at the Orphans. I will be refurbing them into the new scheme. The rest still need to be put together and configured)
Some Sternies (old sternies) and enough additional Marine bitz to kit bash further vets
