Blood angels. before and after the codex

Eldar.............whoops

CHAOS!

Im space wolves the best

I started out with one...then 2 AoBR boxes. I started out with the intention of playing Dark Angels, so I bought a Battleforce, an extra Rhino, and a land raider and started painting. After playing a little bit I decided to switch over to Orks. I had a bunch of Orks lying around because of the black reach set. I still buy models and maintain both armies but Orks have definitely taken over the top spot.

Mine was tyranids because they scared my little brother (who was 11 at the time). I am still with them and he's still scared!

Space Wolves!!!

My first model was Leman Russ with two plastic wolf brothers!

Imperial Guard were my first and still are my main army. My first box was The Last Chancers.

I got a Space Marine Rhino (one of the old ones). I've worked steadily through several different armies, but always come back to my beloved marines

NIDS! FTW!!

Kroot Mercs were my first army

Orks back when the Rogue Trader rulebook (WH40K First Edition) came out. See my gallery for pics. I still have the models.

Then I bought a plastic and metal Ork army for 3rd Edition but switched to Cadians in 4th Edition (for the Eye of Terror campaign).

...and now I'm thinking about a small SM army to get a break from painting IG.

Why does 31% starting as SM not surprise me?

Mind you, I also started SM through the glory that was splitting AoBR with a friend.

Every single game I play, I play defensively. I was told that Tau were good at setting up a gunline for defensive play, so a semi-painted Tau Battleforce is scattered around in my bitz box and on makeshift shelf dioramas to display my figs. After that my cousin gave me his AOBR Orks to paint, as he had enough with the Marines (his Christmas present. I got it for him on sale, so that I would have someone to play against ). Only the Warboss, a Deffkopta, two boyz and a converted Nob are painted so far.
The followng Summer I spent some money on some IG figs (more specifically, a Command Squad, Cadian Guardsman Squad and a Sentinel).

I guess I started off SM but painted them like Dark Angels. I was ten back in third edition and had no idea they had their own book. I quickly moved over to DA thereafter. The first REAL army I wrote a list for, bought models, and played fully was Dark Angels DW/RW back in fourth.

Now I got Orks and LOVE THEM!

So I guess I started with SM but my first seriously composed army was DA.

Eldar all the way!! But I've lately been workin' on a Blood Angels army, as my second army.

Black Templar SM's! I remember buying my first 5 man tactical squad (for £5 might I add, from the GW store!), and seeing Ultramarines on the front, Blood Angels and Templars on the sides, and loved the simple, yet effective BT scheme.

Loved painting the Scouts too, befre they became Neophytes.

All my mates were SM players, all Blood Angels and Space Wolves, so there was plenty of variety there pre chapter specific codexes! Good times....

I dont recall what the first full army I did was...i think SM. However the first decent sized bunch of GW minis I had were the old metal CSM, the Khorne ones, like in the Traitors of Chaos set.

I feel weird because i didnt get into wargaming until I was 22 (25 now). I chose to start on Chaos Marines, something about a badass underdog with a renegade complex that draws me in. Bought a nid army about a year ago but I ended up selling it to a friend who has given it a much better home

my first army was an all Harlequin Eldar army..

basically because I loved the emo attitude and the Death Jester character...

and also because I could mount an all bike army with holo fields...

Orks, a few years back.
I'm a horde player at heart !

My first army was daemons, with 3 units of 10 pink horrors, one upgraded to changeling, 2 units of plaguebearers, and a unit of bloodletters, 3 units of 6 fiends of slaanesh, and 2 demon princes with txeentch upgrades.

Wow, ur fairly new then.

Imperial Guard, Deathkorps of krieg to be specific.

my first army was tau... I still love how they look.
But after while I bought AOBR and split with my brother (I got the marines)
Then I started DA and they still are my favourite and most succesful army.
I still love my tau but... Its tau

Glad to hear it. DA caught my attention right away. So did Black Templar... maybe I just like the robes? hehe

I started off with Space Wolves but moved quickly from there to IG.

space marines at first to get used to the rules then chaos, ig,tau,eldar for there variety

The Glorious First Legion, the Dark Angels

For the Emperor! For the Lion! Repent!

Splitted AoBR with my friend, I got Orks. It was my first time ever in miniwargaming. I Learned how to play them the hard way, by losing!
