Hello,

Returning player to 40K. It's been almost 9 years.

I played WH40K and loved it. 8 1/2 years ago I moved, got a new job and due to life situations, like being diagnosed with diabetes, my armies have been in the basement unpacked for all of those 8 1/2 years. I got the gaming bug again...turns out my 21 year old son likes to play M:TG. So I was a player, had no cards but started playing again about a month ago. Going into the local shop, I saw all kinds of table top games, and the locked cabinets of the local gamers WH40k and Fantasy figures. So I decided to dig my stuff out of the basement. I want to try to play 40K as well.

So I did two days ago. I forgot that I bought out a small store and I have a huge unassembled Catachan Army (These are all 3rd ed/MkIII stuff from the late 90's I think). As none of my rules or Codex apply,I need new rules. Along the way I found some WH40K epic, some 22 unopened blister packs and the boxed set, which appears to be partially assemble (but the box is in poor shape). Being unemployed (starting new job on 2/1 though) money is tight, so I want to try to get enough money for a Space Marines Codex and the large rulebook and if possible an Imperial Guard Codex. These sold on BT, so it appears I am on my way.

So anyways, howdy and I look forward to bumping into folks on the forums.

Ted

Oi! Good to see a new face!

If you're looking into starting Marines, I strongly suggest picking up the Black Reach box; you get a lot of points/models (600 odd points) for very cheap, and it also comes with dice, templates, and a pocket sized version of the rulebook; not only that, but it comes with a bunch of orks as well, which you can likely sell to get back a wee bit of the money you spent on the starter. Very worth while.
