The beginnings

Right this is my blog of me trying to make a legitimate Space Marine army for Warhammer 40,000, I tried with Lizardmen (bleyden.blogspot.com) but I just sucked too much and also there were just so many models to paint and to have a "legit" force in fantasy you need 2,000+ points and I just didnt have the time, energy or money to do that.

So if I want an army for 40k (seeming as rules have just come out) why not make it with the fewest amount of models possible, in walks in SPACE MARINES!!! I mean 15 points for your basic model, thats worth almost 3 skinks!!

Anyway I was into 40k in 3rd ed and bought some Space Marine stuff (I used to play Dark Angels) but I hardly painted any of it, didnt have any money to buy anymore stuff and didnt really game enough so they had been put in the loft until I heard about 5th Ed. This new edition gave me a new lease of life to get a proper Space Marine army. I knew a new Space Marine codex was also coming out so that means more goodies for me to get.

To start off with I downloaded the Blood Angels codex, you know why? IT WAS FREE!! Thats £12 saved. I was gonna make my chapter "Brothers of Arterius" a Blood Angel successor chapter, thus meaning I could use their rules and if I didn't like them I could always buy the new codex and make them a standard chapter (hence not choosing Blood Angels themselves).

This is the blog of me assembling repainting and buying Space Marines in hopes of making a 1000 point force and maybe even getting to 1500 or something like that, so I can take it to GW and have a good game.

Will post back in a few minutes...
