Chaos Space Marines: I started, like most people, with good old marines. They never really saw much action to be honest, but are now back with a new lick of paint and mixed in with the new CSM sets for the latest Codex:CSM release. My return to marines was prompted mostly by events on The Conclave inquisitor forum, along with the happy coincidence that the new codex was only a couple months off at that point - coupled with owning a downloaded copy of the 'dex for about two months now.
Imperial Guard: These chaps grabbed my attention in a serious way when the codex was redone towards the end of 3rd Edition, since then the army has (very) gradually grown to approx 1,500 points IIRC, not much I know, but because of my situation, its rare that I ever get a game of 40K (there isn't even the local club any more). I've had a change of heart with these guys now that I've turned to Chaos finally, I shall perhaps repaint them, but that's probably better left alone for now - the basic principle now is that they are traitor guard who are pledged to my CSMs, but they shall still follow the IG codex. |
