Psychic Prisoner aboard a Black Ship




Edmonton, Canada

Hello all,

I am new to Dakka Dakka, was referred to it by a co-worker.

I have played warhammer fantasy for a few years, but have recently begun forming a 40k army. I have no 40K experience but am trying to put together a 1000 point space marine army and could use some help.

I currently have the Space Marines that come from the Space Hulk set and the Assault on Black Reach.

I am hoping this is enough for my initial 1000 points and will give me enough to learn the ropes.

Can anyone give me some advice on this?

Welcome to Dakka!

Assault on Black Reach and Space Hulk are much more than 1000 points, and plenty to get started with.

There are many Marines Chapter within the 40k, it depends on what fluff you want to go with. There the Blood Angel, Fallen Angel, Dark Angel, The Lost and the Dam, Spave Wovles and the list go on. it all depends on you want, but just read the codex before you choose in what army you want to play with. Plus on the good side you have alot of veteran players here. Just ask anybody for help and Welcome to DakkaDakka

Yeah, make your own chapter! And make awesome fluf and an awesome colour scheme . With the SH and AOBR sets, you're well on your way to a great Space Marine collection.
