Just thought i'd post to say hello.
I'm a total noob when it comes to wargaming & i recently picked up 2 Assault on Black Reach sets (For me & my nephew who's 9).
As i'm new to all this malarkey, i don't have much of a clue what i'm doing.....but i thought the models looked cool & the game looks like great fun.
So if anybody out there has any tips on choosing a SM chapter, army building tips......basically any tips for a noob like me, i'd be extremely grateful
If you have any tips, then don't be shy, as i need all the help i can get!
Many thanks

I would build a list with your codex (You have one, right? ) before buying your models.

And finally, welcome to Dakka Dakka! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/405662/3478058.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/405662/3478058.page GMT Re:New to wargaming It's slowly dawning on me that i got a LOT to learn lol ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/405662/3478078.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/405662/3478078.page GMT New to wargaming AoBR book is really limited.`]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/405662/3478118.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/405662/3478118.page GMT New to wargaming
I'll have a bash on google to do a wee bit research into which codex will suit my needs.
Although, i do like the looks of Legion of the Damned marines. Appearing out of the blue & kicking ass sounds right up my street ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/405662/3478139.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/405662/3478139.page GMT Re:New to wargaming People love picking on Ultramarines, but for starting out? They're great and easy to paint!

Avoid the off-topic areas on Dakka for awhile, and check out the various painting project logs (plogs) for inspiration. Please, feel free to ask me, or others, for help in starting up in this hobby!

I'll get both codexes asap......as for Ultramarines......yeah, an army in this colour scheme would make a tasty looking force

LoL.........I know what you mean

I "lost" several hours in there already........it's like a black hole in there.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/405662/3486383.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/405662/3486383.page GMT Re:New to wargaming http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/405662/3486567.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/405662/3486567.page GMT New to wargaming
If you don't find an idea you like in the main Space Marines codex, do a little looking online about the Dark Angels, Black Templars, Blood Angels and Space Wolves (I prefer DA and BT)

And yes.. stay out of the OT... it's scary]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/405662/3486591.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/405662/3486591.page GMT Re:New to wargaming

I picked up primer, paints n brushes to make a start on my Orks, but haven't got any of the codexes yet (couldn't afford all the painting stuff & a codex as GW is bloody expensive.......especially for their black primer) but i'll get both codexes soon.
I've got the Warboss & Nobz primed & waiting on paint (once i pluck up the courage to start lol)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/405662/3495820.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/405662/3495820.page GMT Re:New to wargaming
Choosing a chapter is really difficult! What I would recommend doing is reading fluff for some of the major ones and see which ones you like the most. If you REALLY want to have a hard time choosing then this is for you..
