My small Ultramarine army, after a decade of preparation, up on the table at last! Since giving up on the Wood Elves sometime around year 7, my 40k army has waxed and waned with both my interest and my financial position. But with all the hype around the release of the 7th Ed. Rulebook, as well as the coinciding interest of my classmate in resurrecting his Blood Angels army, I finally got my precious army up on the table. As a painter first and a player a distant second, I was just excited to see what I'd spent so many hours on (even though the quality greatly varies with the age of the models) on a proper table. I quickly snapped these pics, mostly for my own gratification.
Unfortunately now that I'm back at uni my financial position has once again waned, and I'll have to take it slowly, but I did treat myself to the Space Marine Codex and some paints. Right now I have a Captain left over to try out some new techniques on, and I'm interested in getting the heraldry right for the army (shoulder pad iconography etc.). But once I get some tips from friends about how the game works and invest in a rulebook, I might be ready to really fill out the army and finally bring it to real completion, game-wise (but also paint some sweet-looking, battle-damaged, chunky ceramite clad units)!
As I envisaged in creating this blog, I'll try to do step-by-step coverage of this mini-project when I get some time to do it. And then there's that Mordheim scenery... one day...
