NoHands Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Hi, New guy around these parts (and W40K). Had a reasonable horrible experience playing 'nids as a 12 year old (mainly thanks to cheating friends...) and other than that never really collected W40K. Having read the BBC article on Warhammer, I decided to give it another go. What the heck, worst that could happen is I mis-spend some money. With this in mind, I decided to start a Space Marine army, more specifically, an Ultramarine army. Of course, now being (almost) self sufficient, I did something I was never able to do as a kid (after all, how do you justify spending that much money to your parents) and splashed out on everything that I wanted. Now I fear I may have bitten off more than I can chew! So I decided to start this post as hopefully a way to motivate me to keep painting and building my bad boys... So what did I get? - Space Marine Battleforce - Chaplain Cassius - Captain Sicarius (slight ordering mishap) - Command Squad - Assault Squad - Vindicator - Paint Set (5 more marines) In almost all its glory (sans Captain and Chaplain): http://i.imgur.com/jcftCh.jpg So everything arrived today and I have spent the last 6 hours assembling and painting the paint set marines. After lots of inspiration from some of the masterpieces on this forum and the tutorials too I got to it. For my first marines, I am actually quite pleased with how they turned out... http://i.imgur.com/5s2Oih.jpg http://i.imgur.com/bsDOwh.jpg http://i.imgur.com/YpYB9h.jpg http://i.imgur.com/dlVW3h.jpg http://i.imgur.com/H8sZBh.jpg http://i.imgur.com/jjvMkh.jpg Not sure what to paint next... I have built up most of the Vindicator, but am far too hesitant to screw it up... I guess maybe some more of the marines I have or assault squads... Either way, any criticisms, etc. would be appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having read the BBC article on Warhammer, I decided to give it another go. It's interesting to see the article having an effect. Welcome back to the hobby!

Nym468 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Welcome back! I recently returned to 40k after leaving the hobby in the mid-nineties. Good to see another smurf army out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoHands Posted March 18, 2012 Author Share Posted March 18, 2012 First Update: Been Painting most of yesterday and this morning and have finally finished my Chaplain Cassius and two command squad members. I'm rather happy with the way Cassius turned out. It really was a pain paining such small details! http://i.imgur.com/qUa2B.jpg http://i.imgur.com/eod8t.jpg http://i.imgur.com/1KsUm.jpg I am now concentrating on actually building my whole army as I have a couple of games arranged soon.
