Thinking of getting back into 40k after 10 years.
Welcome back and glad you decided to stop running out of helicopters or repelling from them.

Please enjoy your stay!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/459530/4483638.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/459530/4483638.page GMT Re:Hey! Thinking of getting back into 40k after 10 years.
There are great resources for painting in the painting and modeling logs here on Dakka and a wealth of information around the web in general. Best advice i can give, even if I don't always follow it myself, is to just practice. Paint as much as you can, and if it doesn't turn out great, you can always strip the paint and try again. I would maybe grab some cheap models on eBay and just practice on them even if they are model you will use for an army. Just use them to test paint schemes or techniques or whatever.

If you are interested in Dark Angels they are rumored to be in the new starter set, along with Chaos Space Marines. The set is said to contain some terminators and tactical squad, ravenwing bikes and a captain. You can typically pick up the models separately from bits sites and eBay, so you can probably get a decent army together for $100-$200, depending on what you want to field. The Chaos stuff can also be a good intro for friends if you are trying to get others into the hobby as well. Having some models for people to try the game without buying things first might help draw some friends in.

Not sure what part of Texas you're in, but if you're in Central Texas, you might find this site a good place to find pickup games or meet people in the area: http://www.centexwar.com/warroom/

Yeah, I'm another who's more into the model making, sculpting, converting side of things. Although it's nice to crush the occasional foe beneath the steel-shod heel of heavily-converted minis!

Thinking of getting back into 40k after 10 years. ap weapons (down to a 5+), but better against high ap weapons (now can't be cancelled out by anything). 40k is the shiz. I tried to resist, but I'm back after many years too.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/459530/4484408.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/459530/4484408.page GMT Hey! Thinking of getting back into 40k after 10 years.
Just a heads up, feel no pain CAN be cancelled out, but only by weapons that would cause instant death to your model, so it's not very common that it is. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/459530/4484515.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/459530/4484515.page GMT Hey!

NONSENSE! With the current rules for 6th edition, and all wounds being taken on the modified toughness irrespective of weapon strength, death guard are still good even if FNP has been nerfed. Especially deathguard bikers if my cheese-whiz isn't quite so mouldy yet. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/459530/4486081.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/459530/4486081.page GMT Hey!

Could I convert the termies and dreads from AoBR pretty easily?

Also do DA dreads have to be venerable to field them as deathwing?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/459530/4487515.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/459530/4487515.page GMT
