Hi folks. I thought I'd say hello. I haven't painted for probably around 15 years, but the old bug has rekindled, so I've spent the weekend digging out most of my old minis, and figuring out what I want to put in my recycled 40k space marines company, and how I wan't 'em to look. I'm planning on stripping all my old marines, and giving them a new paint job, similar, but hopefully a bit more sophisticated to what they had before. I was an ok painter before, but I'm hoping that being a bit older, and a good bit more patient than I used to be, will lead to better results this time around. I've put a pic of an old squad seargant below:

I'm planning on sticking to the colour trim schemes laid out in the codex astartes this time round, and building up a bit of background to my predominantly purple marines. Let me know what you think! Between my old mini's and a few planned purchases, I'm aiming to put together the following:

10 Vets
10 Tactical
10 Assault
10 Devestator
5 Close combat Terminators
5 Normal Terminators (Including my captain)
1 Apothecary
1 Chaplain
1 Dreadnaught
1 Venerable Dreadnaught
1 Command Rhino
1 Land Raider

I'm doing this purely for the pleasure of putting an army together, which is why I'm letting myself be guided by what I want, as opposed to what might be useful on the battlefield, however, I reckon it will give me a half decent starting point for if/when I start to actually game again. Not sure what the points total of all that would come to, or even if I could field them all, as it looks like the rules have changed pretty drastically since I last played, but I'm sure I'll learn in due course. Anyway, hope to talk to some of you in the near future, and maybe get some opinions on the small army I'm planning.

Cheers.

Thanks for the welcome folks! I've just had a nosy at the gallery. Some absolutely stunning stuff. I'm hoping I can raise my game this time round, though I think it'll take a squad or two to get my hand back in as it were. I'm toying with the idea of using celtic knotwork as the basis for my heraldry, but I think that'll probably be very very hard! We'll see how brave I feel once I have my painting space set up...
