Imperial Recruit in Training



NYS

Hey All,

I'm pretty new to 40k. I started collecting a while ago, got a little bored, but I picked it back up again!

I collect Imperial Guard-I thought they looked sick so I chose them. I have also started to collect space marines, just ordered a tac squad full. I am currently trying to choose between Ultramarines and Blood Angels.

^any tips on choosing would be nice, as I am somewhat familiar with rules, but am a bit behind on 5th edition-especially for my Guard.

Thanks!

Well, before you paint the marines you can proxy the rules and see which you like better. Enjoy and remember to serve the Emprah

Excellent advice here!

Give them both a whirl and then pick the one you have the most fun playing.

Or, you know, build 2 armies!

Welcome.

I'd read the background material of both and decide who's mantra you really want to follow. Then again, I'm fluff oriented...

But of course, always serve the Emperor.

Welcome to dakka.

Blood Angels are awesome, but generic marines offer alot of variety for gaming styles.
