I am starting this thread to share my progress on a Warhammer 40K Army. My army shall be Space Marines. The chapter shall be The Sons of Medusa.
Right now, my army is: --1 Captain in Terminator Armor --10 Terminators --Tactical Squad (10) --Tactical Squad (10) --Tactical Squad (10) --+ about 5 extra marines to give the tactical squads flexibility for weapons --Dreadnought (Close Combat Flavor) --Dreadnought (Flamer Flavor) --Predator, armament TBD --Predator, armament TBD This is my 2nd ever 40K army, I did a similar sized army of Chaos Space Marines back in 1999-2000. I haven't played 40K in forever. The new edition seems like a good time to get some games in. I have read the rules - loving the simplicity. More to come soon. Stay tuned to this space.

I'm now putting half of my hobby effort into 40k stuff and I've played a few games. Please come over soon so that we can work through the rules together. There will also be beer.

As shown in the picture above, I have a vast majority of my miniatures assembled.
--1). They have all been primed white
--2). They all have 1 coat of green basecoat
I am using an airbrush to put super thin coats of paint down. Use low pressure, etc.
I have read a few articles and done about 10 practice pieces (non Space Marine miniatures).
Hoping to put down a second thin coat tonight. Let it dry, then start doing metals!
I am priming & painting in three separate stages:
Stage 1 = bodies + arms; green
Stage 2 = heads; white
Stage 3 = shoulder pads
The whole "paint, and then assemble" thing is kind of new.
Seems like a 40K thing. I am excited to try it out!!!

I'm really troubled that too many have been snatched into 40k hype machine lately. Heck, even I have been sorely tempted to start a Custodes force myself. Have possessed and finished reading all the 6 Codices already  |

Fear Not -
I am FANTASY FOR LIFE.
This 40K dalliance is just that, a short flirtation.

I hear people saying that all the time when someone poses to them the same dilemma of choice between a vibrant hot 20 year old mistress and a 40 year old insipid homely wife  |
