A while back my Fiancée was shopping at Target and asked me if I wanted anything. I told her the The Space Marine Board Game. She did pick it up for me.
Not being a Tyranid Player or an Ultramarine player this was an enh purchase for my armies but as an introduction to 40k for my fiancée's adopted sons and my future (step) sons (11, 10, 9, and 8) it felt it would be perfect. I can build in paint Capt. Titus, the kids can build and paint the Tyranids and then we can play the game with each other. As way of bonding with them.
To go along with the game I figure I purchase these 2 sets.
This gives them 2 brushes, some paints and more models to build and paint. I figured once they were used to having me around them and I was able to spend more time with them it a good time to start. Well I ended up moving in sooner than expected, and the kids and I have become closer much faster than expected. Due to some issues I had to delay the project for us. Not saying anything to them about it until after February this year.
During the course of redoing the hobby area/ office the kids have seen me working on my personal models and all the figures in the display case and became interested in 40k. So I showed them the Game and paint starters. The 3 of the boys seem super excited about it. I told them during the Summer we would start working on it and be able to play the game. I have a feeling the 9 year old will be the one that likes it the most and want his own army/ Kill team eventually.
I need to get some more starter brushes and sanding sticks for them.
I will also create a dedicated album to showcase their work.
