So I have recently returned to the hobby after a 25 year break (yeah im old) and even then it was just the odd command model or terminator, I recently painted a model and enjoyed it! but that was a few months ago and I haven't done anything since...

I have never played a game of 40k in my life yet for some reason I am about to embark on building and painting a Primaris army

I have just ordered a ton of stuff in the post and am awaiting arrival..

I have bought

- 1 Captain in Phobos armour, equipped with a master-crafted instigator bolt carbine and a camo cloak
- 1 Librarian in Phobos armour, equipped with a force sword, holstered bolt pistol, camo cloak and psychic hood
- 1 Lieutenant in Phobos armour equipped with a master-crafted occulus bolt carbine, grav-chute and pair of combat knives
- 3 Suppressors (including a Suppressor Sergeant) equipped with accelerator autocannons and a grav-chutes
- 3 Eliminators (including an Eliminator Sergeant) equipped with bolt sniper rifles and camo cloaks
- 10 Infiltrators (including an Infiltrator Sergeant and Infiltrator Helix Adept) equipped with bolt carbines
- 1 Primaris Space Marine Captain, resplendent in cloak and iron halo, holding aloft a master-crafted power sword in one hand and wielding a boltstorm gauntlet on the other;
- 5-man Primaris Space Marine Intercessor Squad – armed with bolt rifles and bolt pistols;
- 3-man Primaris Space Marine Inceptor Squad – armed with assault bolters;
- 5-man Primaris Space Marine Hellblaster Squad – armed with plasma incinerators and bolt pistols.
- Primaris Redemptor Dreadnought

I realise I may have some overlap here, but this is the shadowspear primaris marines and the know no fear ones too, plus the dreadnought, I will happily buy more once these are done but I thought those two sets were a good start.

I have also bought basing supplies and tools

So the next decision is to choose a chapter, This is currently not fully decided but I always wanted a blood angels army back in the day so I think thats probably the way I might go!

Aiming for a reasonable tabletop standard with special attention to command models. Cant wait to get started. Once complete I will see if I can find a game and see if i even enjoy playing! but I know i get a good sense of achievement painting so nothing to lose.

I will be updating this post as things progress

Good luck man, welcome back :-)

Cheers mate cant wait to get going now!

Right on. It's never too late to jump in. Blood Angels always make for striking models. I look forward to seeing how they turn out.

Thanks youwashock, yes they really do! I always wanted a BA army back then because at the time (second edition 40K) my local games workshop had an amazing looking set of blood angels in the display cabinet, including a dreadnought and land speeder - painted to a standard that was just insane.

I have considered other chapters particularly dark angels but I think Blood angels makes sense.

I might just go and order Blood Angels Primaris Lieutenant Tolmeron and MEPHISTON and just seal the deal.

Well There really is no going back now - I got a 10% ebay discount voucher and with prices lower than GW to start with it proved too temping... -- Todays orders - What have i got myself into!

1 x Blood Angels Primaris Upgrades

1 x Codex: Space Marines

1 X Blood Angels Primaris Lieutenant Tolmeron

Wow! That's a lot to work through, I'm interested to see how this blog continues. ^.^

I certainly may have bitten of more than i can chew here! but this is quite a financial investment for me so I really want to make the most of it.

I might buy an airspray gun to help with things

Wow. In with both feet. Have fun!

Good luck and I‘m excited to see your first models!

Thanks guys looking forward to having more to show!

I am setting myself one simple rule, one box set at a time, from start to finish before starting anything else.

Today is a Glorious Day! Just waiting on a box set of hellblasters and a couple of books
