I just bought the new starter (Dark Vengence), traded off the Chaos Marines for another guys Dark Angels half, and managed to find the old starter used but still on the sprues for $25. So I have 30 marines, 15 terminators, 6 bikes, 1 dreadnought, 2 librarians, and 3 company masters for $140. I need to get more games in (only played a small one, but liked it) and figure out to paint. I usually just let someone else paint my Germans for Flames, but the larger scale may be easier for me to do. |

Dont have the time or money for 40k anymore. Freaking land raider (an all plastic tank/IFV kit) is $60!
I do like their specialist games like Blood Bowl (fantasy football boardgamewith elves, orcs, etc) and Necromunda ( gang fights in 40k universe). Because you can build a team or gang for $50 and actually finish painting it since it is less than 20 models. Games play faster too. I also like the discontinued Dreadfleet. The new chaos cultist models look sweet and are $2 per figure. |

Not all gamers are like that damn it! The store I frequent, owned by one of my best friends, will kick anyone out of the store if they're hygiene isn't up to snuff. He'd rather have one less player in the store that day than that one running everyone off. ETA: He's not nice about it either. It's awesome to see.

"Get out of my store and go take a shower you dirty fuck!" Ahh to be a small mom and pop shop instead of the corporate owned franchise example store I was the lone R/C car guy in a store full of gamers , including the corporate staff  but it was to be expected 70% of the profit generated by that store was magic/yugio/pokimon/whatever stupid game of the week card sales |

Lol. Who would've thought that a city fight would enable the defender to pop up some rather ferocious and effective ambushes? Remember kids, route recon is important! |

So any tips for a noobie to 40k? Strategy/tactics for vanilla space marines or Dark Angels? What would make good allies, IG? What units? The game plays completely differently than the games I've played in the past or currently played (Confrontation 3rd ed. and Flames).
