Chaos, 3rd edition codex. I loved playing my iron warriors with 4 tanks and 6 obliterators (all I had at the time).

HAHA well did you read those issues of white dwarf and play 2nd ed? Necrons were broken upon introduction. They were critically toned down. you could land scarabs on vehicles to drop their AV and they were toughness 8!!! For further cheese being within 6 inches of a necron killed power weapons and penalizes your BS. Haha but we speak of a time when Terminator armor saves were 3+ on 2D6 and everyone and their mama had vortex grenades.

BTW what edition did you start?

Ultramarines FTW!!

I started on 3rd Ed. starter box (thanks for clearing me up on exactly which edition that was; I used to think it was 2nd Ed.) with SM and DE.

I've been collecting both in pretty equal measure.

Space Wolves...

I ticked other, as even though I've played since second my first complete and painted army was a Catachan army from third ( I believe) you know, the one in which no armour was allowed

When I started in my group everyone started with marines (of some type) then got a second army. So while Marines were technically my first army, IG is what I consider to be my first 'real' army.

My first army was an Ultramarines SM army. I have moved on to have a Daemons and BA army for 40k.

First army for me was the orks.

My first was Witch Hunters.
Ironic really.
My Surname is Witchell.

my first model was a space marine... but my first army was tau..

FOR THE GREATER GOOD!!.. .. . .and all that jazz -.-

Necrons were the first army I bought. Orks were the first army I played. So...I decided to give Necrons the love and put them.

Sadly Marines... But without that I wouldn't be playing my renegades now so I guess that is a good thing.

Space Wolves, just got back into them after there re release Finally got to use my old models

Blood Angels were my first army and how different were they from todays BA withthe armor being BA Orange!

I started the game as the Tau because someone had told me that they had powerful shooting capabilities.

First, last, and only

Ultramarines! About as plain as they come

First army was Crimson fists. like everyone else i went sm. its hard not to when you know nothing of the hobby and they are in every edition box set. Anyways since then ive smartened up and went guard.

My first models were Emperors Children....painted them terribly....went WHFB for awhile. Now my first 40k army is Space Orks!

I first just paintded Nids but truly it was Chaos Daemons , then Chaos marines.

Started with Marines during 3rd Edition, then slowly expanded into Chaos Marines (like the fluff for Word Bearers) and finally stopped expanding into different armies when I started Orks. Once I started playing Orks, everything changed. I still like my Marines, but I've had much more success and, more importantly, fun playing my foot-slogging Green Tide.

Dark Eldar cause I'm ruthless MF

Been representing Eldar since 96'.

When I started roughly half my friends played Marines, while the rest were a combination of Orks, Tyranids and Imperial Guard.

Space Wolves

Orks was my first choice, taken from the Assault on Black Reach set.

Black Templar

Very first army was Space Marines. I still have them, too.

wow lots of spacemarines.

I voted other for Black Templars.
