Hello all, I would like to welcome you to my first P&M Blog.

To give you a little backdrop: Years ago my Eldest brother and my older brother used to play 40k. Around June, my brother came to me to try and persuade me into playing "Warhammer Fantasy" with him. Having lots of spare time during the summer despite work/friends and other hobbies I decided to give it a whirl. We went to the local GW Store and browsed around, very intrigued with the concept of the hobby we purchased the Island of Blood. My very first Warhammer army would be the Skaven, while my brother played High Elves. I got into the hobby rather quickly splurging on my first dose of plastic crack, and my Skaven army had somewhere around 100 Clan Rats, a few Characters, Plague Monks, Weapons teams the whole works. When we started playing, I was not partial to having my army slaughtered before I even got into combat. Discouraged at the money I spent we decided to go into GW again to try and find something that could give my Skaven some edge. I looked at the newer monster models, at the abomination, the screaming bell, storm vermin, then I stumbled upon 40k. I was blown away by how much cooler the 40k models were compared to fantasy. My eldest brother gave me a look, sighed and said "Your going to make me split this with you aren't you?" and thus began my 40k adventure.

My chapter of choice is the Salamanders, throughout this blog I will be doing a roughly 4500+pt Army, which may or may not grow bigger.

An outline of what this blog will consist of:
- Constantly kept up to date Army List
- Pictures of my current painting projects/conversion works
- Terrain WIP Pics as well as finished products.
- Multiple WIP shots
- Updates on a Tau project before I turn it into its own P&M Blog.

A list of my army to date is:
35+ Tactical Marines
10x Assault Termiantors
5x Shooty Terminators
1x Dreadnought
1x Ironclad Dreadnought
1x Rhino
1x Razorback
3x Landspeeder
3x Bikes
15x Assault Marines
5x Sniper Scouts
4x HQ's

I'm awaiting a few packages but when they arrive also added to the list will be:
1x Drop Pod
1x Land Raider
1x Librarian
1x Vulkan
10x Tactical Marines
5x Legion of the Damned
1x Whirlwind

Before I get into showing you pictures and all the fun stuff, I need to have a shoutout to Nerdfest09. The first group of pictures you will be shown are of bits that will be added to my marines from Chapter House Studios, that were generously donated to me by my friend Nerdfest09. He has been a huge part of this project and is the main reason as to why I am doing this P&M Blog.

Looking good Vel'cona now you need to take some time off and paint your heart out to perfect those skills of yours! I'm expecting something special on that captain from you..... soon o.k !

Will do! I need to resupply myself with some primer before I do that, and strip some more models. I also really wanna work on getting the Wyvern Character painted up

First update, It's been quite awhile since I've been able to work on my Salamanders but I have school and a lot of other things that try to keep me from my hobby </3. So, here is my Rhino, I primed the addons of the Chapterhouse Studio Salamander bits, and here is what it looks like. Had lots of views but no comments on any of my ideas or future endeavors. I know there are people alive out there. C&C welcome.
