Hi all! Jabba here, returning from the hum-drum of normal life. After hearing there was a new WH40k rulebook out I got in touch with a few of you to scope out opinion. I was happy to find out that Conrad, Kahuna and Skilling (lifer) were all very much still in the hobby.
Conrad and Kahuna have also kindly pointed me in the direction of this blog site which I think will be an excellent incentive for me to get…..wait for it….a WHOLE army painted!!!!
I will try and keep this blog up to date as much as possible. At the moment I am deciding on which army to begin my comeback with. I have it narrowed down to 3 40k armies: Eldar, Tau and Marines. Eldar purely because my missus bought me some tasty Harlequins; Tau as, for some reason, love the Vespid and Kroot models; and Marines as I have always wanted to do a Soul Drinkers or Black Dragons chapter.
I’m currently reading through the Soul Drinkers omnibus and getting a lot of nice ideas for that but I am also swaying towards Black Dragons as there is a new Land Raider variant on the horizon that boasts super heavy flamers of some kind.
If someone wants to roll a dice for me that would be ace. 4+ and I’ll do Soul Drinkers 
Speak to you all soon,
Jabba.
it’s great to know you are still into the hobby. And it’s even better to see you join our humble blog. I can see you painting eldar with their small squad size and the new figures are crying out for a jabba paint job. I’m looking forward to seeing your figures next month no matter the army
Hurrah! Simple challenge – paint more than me!
call that a challenge. Actually to be fair you did paint up a army. I withdraw my comment LOL
As lovely as the Eldar models are. I found out I almost have a full squad of Kroot and hounds painted!!!
I think for the moment I will try and get a gameable Tau Empire force going with all the obscure stuff that people never use (Krootox, Sniper Drones, Vespid).
Watch this space!!
Well, some would say “painted”, I would offer “dipped”…
I have yet to see Vespid in action (admittedly I have only seen kids playing Space Marine VS Space Marine games…)
hopefully the new edition rules will change that. Although I wish they had left defensive weapons alone.
