Hello.

As an avid model maker of airfix and the like, this hobby is right up my street.

I'm bored of the aviation stuff and WW2 dioramas and have come back to W40k which I dipped my toe in when I was a young man (25 years ago!) But back then I also discovered air guns and shot my space marines with pellets in my granddad's garage , which was fun at the time but now I regret it!.


So over Xmas I have bought some ultra marines and I'm working on building up my first 1000 point army

No need for regret - you'll have learned a lot of transferable skills! Welcome back to the hobby - what models have you picked up?

I play Orks and write about Warhammer 40K stuff at iplay40k.com

Hey!

Currently I have painted.

3x inefernus marines which was my first set as it came with 5 paints and for GW stuff, was actually a good deal.

Then I got 10x primaris intercessors

5x heavy intercessors

5 x terminators (terminator squad)

1x lieutenant

And today I picked up an apothecary and an indicator tactical war suit so I'm fairly close to 1000 points now.

I am aiming for a light assault objective Control angle.

Then, the next 1000 points will be for larger games which I'm thinking will include some more elite units (maybe a librarian in terminator armour or a chaplain) and some heavy assault equipment, I'm thinking a predator and a dreadnought.

Basically I'm probably going to end up getting every space marine unit type at some point. The only problem is going to be time, money and space ! As I already have three large shelves full of planes
