I havent read into the new edition yet, but Justin in the Romford store has been talking to me on the phone about the Marine Codex....im very tempted, though i dont have the time or money to start GW again.

Maybe after i have finished my project.

Playing the game is another matter altogether,  some just want to win at all costs, others gripe over a millimeter difference - you cancharge/cant charge.  Whatever happened to gamesmanship and just enjoy the game.  - Not that id lose on purpose i only find that the idea of buying the discounted stuff on ebay if im going to buy a lot in bulk as once you take postage into account the idea of savng 1.50 ona  box of space marines i might as well buy it from workshop, i wont buy second hand models on ebay if theyve painted (usually terribly too boot) but i will buy second stuff on sprues and stuck together. I still paint a lot but i dont play as much as i used to as we never seem to get round to it, Im still working between Imperial fists (of whic i want about 6 new land speeder now that theyve finally fixed that sodding broken mould and the new land raider) and my nightlords

Have picked up a few bargains off there - black reach set for £30 comes to mind (great spacemarines).  6!! landspeeders - be warned, a gust of wind (or space marine flatulence) and landspeeders go bye bye, although parking a vindicator in front of them  helps keep em shiney.  - oohh nightlords - do you paintem with the lightning effect all over the armour?

Thats so going to appear in powergamers armys (cheese).        &nb sp;       1 Character for salalmanders, 10 for ultramarines hhmmm biased in anyway.  Any suggestions on which chapter as im stumped.
