First Blood

Hello again! (I really don't know how to start post properly...)

Yesterday I had a chance to take part in tutorial battle in the Games Workshop shop. Well, it was my first battle ever, so this was really exciting for me!

The mission was simple - Chaos Space Marines have taken control over fortress and have beenn trying to send S.O.S. signal for support from the landing pad. Space Marines task was simple - to reach landing pad and stop them.

The Beginning

I thought that I'll start presentation of my miniatures with my first set.

Around 2006 I bought RTS game "Warhammer 40000: Dawn of War" - and it was the beginning of my fascination with this universe. When I had chance I bought "Battle for Macragge Paint Set" - it was perfect way to begin my hobby. In this set I received 1 starter brush, 6 paints and 3 "dry-fit" Tactical Space Marines. After reading short manual about painting miniatures I started to glue parts together and paint my first Space Marine. I didn't have much choice about chapter of these 3 soldiers, colours of the paints in this set only allowed me to paint theme in Ultramarines scheme, but I liked it anyway. Since that day I started to play DOW with Ultramarines only.
