<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Hello!"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/65.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Hello!
I have been lurking here for one or two weeks now and i'm hoping on buying my first miniatures soon.

A little bit about myself; i'm 19 years old, I live in the Netherlands and own two tactical squads of space marines, but I haven't painted in years, I first started with miniatures when I was like 10, I was on vacation in france and ended up in a wargaming store where I persuaded my mom to buy me a box of Warhammer Dwarfs (I have one left, all others perished ) and later bought some LOTR miniatures, back then I wasn't a very gifted painter but I knew no better! Now I see all these pictures and i'm ver mind blown, very realistic!
I had a lot of fun but it got boring, I had no one to share it with,, none of my friends did stuff like this and I was ashamed to tell them or try to get them interested!
Now I want to pick it up again i've read alot about the lore and ive viewed nearly every thread in the P&M showcase ( ) and decided I will go with Space Marines, allthough the Orks are also very Charismatic!

I do have a few questions I hope you can help me with, I want to make my own Chapter, and I want to include elements(not literally but more like "athmospherish") of Sven Hassels books.
Questions:

What first steps should I take to create my own chapter? (just thinking of a name for it is a hard task! )

Are there certain rules to making your own chapter?

With what miniatures should I start? (I don't have hundreds of euro's to spend! Sadly.)

Some basic information about rules and that sorta stuff?

Any help is appreciated!

Greetings and a nice day,

Porta

Ps: Laughed so hard at the text beneath my forum name! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/538960/5830491.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/538960/5830491.page GMT Hello!
Now with that being said there are a lot of things about to change for the space marines! A lot of the rumor stuff I have read puts them two to three months out for their new book! When that happens I am sure a lot of things will change!

Now dont let that frighten you. Because we all know that Tatical marines will still be good. So you can still pick up a few boxes of them and get to work.

Creating your own chapter is always a hard thing to do. The way I have always helped people do it is to come up with a paint scheme they like! Once you have that scheme you come up with a story why they look the way they do. I have found that to be the easyest way for people who are stuck.

I wish you the best of luck and let us know how it all goes!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/538960/5830658.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/538960/5830658.page GMT Re:Hello!
Even the choice of color will be hard, ive been looking for combinations now and everytime when I think i've found a good combo I come up with another one! but im not going to hurry it and make moves i'll later regret.

A there any spoilers on the new book? I'm curious as hell!
Is there a forum where I can make a thread just speculating about what thoughts I have about how I will take it on?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/538960/5831133.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/538960/5831133.page GMT Re:Hello!

hello and welcome to wargaming, the way I came up with my main marine chapter was I picked a scheme and then built fluff around that.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/538960/5842845.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/538960/5842845.page GMT Re:Hello! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/538960/5845906.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/538960/5845906.page GMT Hello! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/538960/5857027.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/538960/5857027.page GMT
