A Tale of 5 Gamers - 40K

While having a chat to a friend (Jason H) about me taking part we discussed if it was really worth me building a new army for an army I already effectively. I have built my current Space Marine army so I can use it with any of the current Space Marine codices. It already has models for Death Company and models for Wolf Guard etc.

I began thinking about other armies I would be interested in building. Orks are an option as they're one of the few 40K armies I've never owned but the time and money required to get them up to 1750 points would be a pretty big investment. Eldar are a distant possibility but one of the others in the group is building an Eldar army and they don't really appeal to me. Chaos Space Marines are good option, and with that in mind I painted up this test model.

What do you guys think?

  1. I reckon you should do the green, that paint job stands out and will look really good on the gaming table, plus how many fluro marines do you see on a table top... so its something different.

    The other two models are good too but the creme / grey model kinda looks like the marines that you have previously done, and i am not convinced on the red model...

    Go Mean Go Green.

  2. I'm afraid I agree with Jason H!
    The marines will stand out awesomely and you will get votes for best painted. Also it was my idea and I know best.

    You can use these guys as anything you like as well!
