Welcome to my Blog

So here is my blog, its going to be about Warhammer 40k painting (or rather attempting to) and in small parts strategies that I've found to work for IG. If I were to describe my fascination with Warhammer it would be because of the rules. While Games-Workshop has some fairly ambiguous rules, it is a fairly structured game and I love discussing (thats what we call it after our heated debates) the game and rules. One of the things I hate is looking up "I win" strategies on any website as I love trying to come up with them on my own.

So how new am I at this game? I started playing Warhammer 40k in June (I think it was June) right after WSU ended its Spring semester. I started out with Tyranid, but got frustraited with them so they have sat in a Reaper foam case not getting played or painted. I then spoke with one of my buddies who was willing to sell me his Sisters of Battle/Witch Hunters army. After agreeing to that, I noticed the Imperial Guard and that they could still use the Sisters in the battle. I then realized that I would like the Guard because they are the normal Joe Schmoes of the Warhammer world. I have been painting them with much more enthusiasm than I did with the Tyranid.

So WSU starts on the 24th of this month and I'm getting a little stressed as I wont be able to devote as much to 40k as I want. I'm excited that I am going to get my student loans soon and so I will get to pay off several bills (apartment and car) for several months and which means that I will be able to buy a couple of Imperial Guard Battle forces later in the month with the money that we will be saving. Anyways, I will get to posting some other stuff in a bit.
