Warhammer 40K

In the December 2008 School holidays I took the boys into the city. They wanted to have a look at the 2 remaining specialist hobby stores in Sydney City, Tin Soldier & Hobbyco. On the way down the back of George St they came across Games Workshop. After more than an hour in there and each of them having a go at painting Space Marines, the boys had convinced themselves that they wanted to persue this hobby. I suggested that they think about it and we set off to Tin Soldier & Hobbyco. After many hours in both these stores, they were still talking about Warhammer and asked if could spot them the money for the starter box and they would fix me up when we got home. The long and the short of it they came out with a set Assault on Black Reach with all the paints & accessories to get them going (without them having to touch my gear.

Since then the boys have steadily built up their forces thanks to ebay. Unfortunately, the eldest had to be Imperial Guard, and the other 3 boy all differing Space Marine Chapters.

I opened the Black Reach box and found a whole mess of Orks. Unfortunately no body's interested in playing on the Ork side, and so I started my personal journey in Warhammer 40K, deciding to practice my painting skills on these figures before I relaunch my self on the 100's off different WWII figure sets in my collection.

As the boys now have some fast attack bikes, landspeeders, I bought a few built Ork Warbuggy's on Ebay and decide to refurbish them. The original paint jobs were dreadful, and they were built dreadfully. I broke apart the glue on figures (doing some major damage to leg & limb, but managed to to a reasonable rebuild. I will post the many vehicles & figures to this setion as I go.
