(Fitting given the Sci-Fi Theme)
I haven't talked much about my 40K collection, or much of anything for that matter in the past three months. That damn real life again. 40K was not a game that interested me much when I was younger. I am not much of a fan of the Genre when it comes to what we have in the Media. It is something that really didn't appeal to me. I do like the classical movies like the original Star Wars, Dune, and of course this.

Recently what has driven me towards Sci-Fi is the Honor Harrington Series. For those who don't know, it is basically like reading CF Forester interplanetary. So that is my hook that opens up my mind to the Genre as of late. Over the past few months I have been playing about half of a dozen games of 40K. Space Marines are the army that I am currently playing with a Crimson Fist theme and play style. After these games there are some issues that I have with the current edition of the game, however I would say that overall it is a system that I am liking more than Fantasy. I won't belabor my disappointment with the 8th edition, since that has been expounded on in an earlier post.
I espoused long ago that I would take my lessons of the past and limit my scope of what and how I do my purchases. I do plan to keep that pledge with my space marines for the most part. I have about 2/3 of a company that I am working on now. I don't plan on getting anything new until all of this is up and running for Space Marines. In addition to that, I am setting aside some time in my busy life right now to get some painting done. Given how slow I am of a painter as well as the summer being as busy as it has ever been for me, it will certainly not happen overnight. I will be posting my progress with this army.
