Shinn Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Hello everyone. I've just started getting into the 40K universes and game wise I've chosen the Dark Angels to play. I've read a few of the Horus Heresy books(On the 4th I think) plus a lot of stuff about the different chapters. Just recently a friend gave me a few Space Marines to start my army myself. Once the rest of my stuff gets here I'll be able to post all of what I have so once that happy moment happens I'm sure i'll need you're helping making a decent list. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, take this goat and this condom to room 17. The condom is not for you, it's for the goat! If you survive three days of welcoming rituals *cough*hazing*cough*, you'll report to Veteran Sergeant Naaman for scout training. Link to comment

Shinn Posted December 17, 2013 Author Share Posted December 17, 2013 Maybe it's that us newer recruits grow to like it? The week after Christmas I should have enough stuff to be able to field a 1600ish army. So after that expect a LOT of questions from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyro X Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 can't go wrong with that at all. did you look to see what kind of list you want to run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinn Posted December 18, 2013 Author Share Posted December 18, 2013 Not particularly. For the moment I just want to play some games with friends and see what I like/don't like ya know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyro X Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 true. if they don't mind proxy I'd say go do that. you know the size of the models really just make paper cut outs and write on them what each have and use 1 or 2 bikes if u need to worry about line of sight. that way you don't buy stuff you don't like. also if your wanting tac squads you can get dark vengance ones from ebay for around $12ish per squad, its a freaking deal.

imustbedreamin Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 good stuff mate. I look forward to seeing some updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinn Posted December 18, 2013 Author Share Posted December 18, 2013 Right now my biggest hurdle will be painting them. GW paints seem soo expensive it's like you don't have a choice but to be near perfection on the first try. I'd also rather paint my 'army' the original DA colors but I really don't know how well that'd fly with people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Milkman Of Baal Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I'd also rather paint my 'army' the original DA colors but I really don't know how well that'd fly with people. Its your army mate. I'd personally think it would look mint! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillyfish Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 First off, welcome to the Rock. :) I may be biased (okay I am biased), but I think you have made a good choice of army! :D As to painting, don't worry too much about making mistakes. It's natural to learn as you go and, provided you keep your paints thin, you can always re-paint in the future. There are alternatives to GW paints, popular ones seem to be Vallejo and Coat of Arms - simply pick similar colours. Also, don't be afraid to alter the colour scheme slightly to what excites you. If you check the DA resources thread, you will see links to lots of painting tutorials which may also help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrahawk Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Another option would be painting your DAs black with dark green highlights. It would give the impression of a green so dark it's practically black. Could work as a nice compromise. Successor-Chapter the Consecrators, as facmanpob mentioned above, are another awesome route to take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinn Posted December 19, 2013 Author Share Posted December 19, 2013 That actually seems like a neat idea Terrahawk. Before today I had never heard of the Consecrators. Is there background to them or anything fluff wise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disciple of Caliban Sgt Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 In the codex there is a little background. I find the Warhammer 40k wiki a good place to get a majority of background on successor chapters. Just go to the primary Legion (DA in this case) and on the right it shows a list of Successors with links and use those. Usually you get a picture with a paint scheme as well.
