What Ive Got

Right Ive just stuck the last shoulder pad on my Marines (why aren't the shoulder pads attached to the arms? you never see a marine without them so why?!) and this is a list of EXACTLY what I have, WYSIWYG.

1 Librarian with Force Axe and Bolt Pistol (one of the few models that didnt need re-glueing)
1 Chaplain with Crozius and Bolt Pistol
1 Commander with Combi-Melta and Power Axe
1 Apothecary with Bolt Pistol
1 Dark Angels Standard Bearer with Bolt Pistol

1 Sergeant with Bolt Pistol and CCW
1 Marine with Auspex
1 Marine with Flamer
6 Marines with Bolters
1 Half Marine (missing Missile Launcher)

5 Terminators, 1 sergeant with Power Sword, 1 with Heavy Flamer

5 Assault Marines, 1 with Plasma Pistol

13 Space Crusade Minis, 2 Sergeants with BP+CCW, 2 Marines without Guns, 2 Marines with Plasma Guns, 7 with Bolters.

And thats it! Just a few notes:

1. Terminators are such ugly models, you cant change their pose in ANY way (these are 3rd ed ones, dont know if there are newer ones). Also they cost a bundle of points so if I get a bigger army they might be the first to go, depending on how good they are on the tabletop.

2. I currently have 2 squads of marines, seeming as troops are so important must expand on that, esp coz ive only got 19 marines with guns.

3. Assault Marines look so cool, simple as.

4. I have 3 HQ units, an apothecary and a Standard for an army I will no longer use. This means I shouldnt have to buy another HQ unit for a while (unless they have jump packs)

5. I have no tanks, dreadnoughts or heavy weapons. I must rectify this as soon as possible.

6. I might get the Assault on Black Reach box set. You get a rulebook as well as 10 Marines, a Dreadnought, 5 Terminators, ANOTHER commander and a load of Orks. All for 40 pound (30 when I use www.giftsforgeeks.org.uk) which costs the same amount as a Rulebook on its own! This also means I dont have to repaint my original captain (who has the useless combi-melta)

Im not gonna post for a while as I have exams but no one is reading so who really cares
