With the release of 8th edition 40k, I finally decided to dive in. I had been turned off by the prices before, thinking they were rather high for plastic models.
I dove in when a lucky find on a Facebook sale page turned up a Start Collecting box with some extras for only $15! With the release of the Index Imperium I for a reasonable price and some extra money off from an online retailer I purchased it and was in the hobby now.
I painted up my small force, learned the rules (from a rulebook, dice, ruler and fold out rules from eBay for only $35) and was ready to go into the grimdark future and roll some dice.
The marines eventually expanded quickly (whether by donations or purchases) to include a large force and fully built and nearly completely painted. As of now I need to only finish paint a Primaris Lieutenant, Stormhawk, and Land Speeder Storm.
With this blog I hope to chronicle my journey through the hobby and into this game and what seems to be a great edition. I will post pictures of my models, detail battles fought and my thoughts on these battles.
I will leave this first blog post with my first five marines, the beginning of the journey into the grim darkness of the far future where there is only war.
