A slow news week

Greetings from the Amber Valley, and apologies for the lack of content this week.

Assembly continues, we are up to 20 Marines, with 20 more on the way, it's slow but steady progress, just got to get them painted.

As a side note, it's worth saying the the BaC MKIV Marines are lovely, and are much nicer to work on than the old MKVII tac Marines sprue, though a few more arm variants would be cool.

The sprues themselves are crammed with stuff, including Special, Combi, and Heavy weapon choices all included, whilst the Sgt gets a healthy selection of options to make him stand out.

40K 7th Edition rules have arrived here, along with some Army Painter Bone spray, and Lamenters Yellow glaze, so I now have no excuses not to start a test model and finally put my money where my mouth is.

I'm slowly working out the bare bones of an Army list, with the following guidelines.

Keeping as close as I can to the Imperial Fists fluff- lots of Bolters and Siege crafty stuff.

Painting mainly 'new stuff' so I don't get bored (hence lots of 30k stuff)

Keeping things relatively simple so I don't have to swallow tons of special rules in one hit

So far so good, but it's definitely a WIP and I think it'll need lots of fine tuning to make it work

Anyhow, more soon, and I might even get some photos done if your lucky.
