While I am not new to painting 40k figures I am very new to actually playing. having only played a few games of 3rd edition I didn't really have much experience with the game. I stumbled upon the path of the Sons of Dorn space marine chapter mostly by accident when I entered an online painting contest. This Blog will chronicle my learning experiences with putting together an army, learning the rules, and hopefully ending up with a viable army. Thank you for visiting.
Sorry for the lag in updates. I finished up both 10 man tactical squads. Here are the pictures. I am currently working on a Rhino with a Dozer blade attachment. Hope to finish it by end of next week.
I squeezed in a bit more "equipment" to my list I posted below and took my young fledgling army of about 1200 points down to the Local GW battle bunker on Saturday August 19th for a special event they were having. I played my first ever game of 4th edition 40k. It was fun, though a tad confusing (rules are easy to read and harder to put into practice!!!) I had help from some really nice people including my opponent and proceeded to get my ass handed to me. Now it wasn't a traditional game but rather a mega battle. I am sure I was down point wise - but I am betting my biggest downfall was the lack of versitile troops. Also the large assortment of power fists weren't helping me! My opponent rolled his saves very well and I lost my terminator squad in the first turn due to a nasty Khorne demon prince attacking him!
I will be back to the LA battle bunker next Saturday to get my ass handed to me again!
I had a blast and enjoy losing again! Hopefully more of the rules will have sunk in before next time. My only real complaint was that the game started 2 hours late and I arrived 1/2 hour earlier than it was supposed to. 
Without further ado here are my tactical squads pics!




That is just a taste of them. Most of the individuals can be found on my website. Thanks for looking. Comments and suggestions are always welcome!
Cheers,
