Hi all

I'm Aodhan and I am coming back into a bit of Warhammer 40k after about a decade.
Currently painting up some Eldar and was asked by RobertTheDamned to post up a few pictures for other peoples consideration and general tips etc.

Well General, I'm afraid there will be more orange as I am going for a Yme-Loc Craftworld army.

Welcome!
Like Biakal, I'm glad to see a WH40k player too.
Which edition(s) do you play?

[SynapsEase]

Well as I said, I'm just getting back into 40k. Literally just started painting my first new model.

When I was playing before it was 2nd edition, towards the end 3rd had come out but in our group we carried on with second as we couldn't be bothered to buy all the new rule books at the time.

I had a game of 6th the other week to see the difference but that's it recently.

Nice - that's a tLatD attitude! IMO 2nd edition was the best for larger battles (although the RPG style elements in Rogue Trader make 1st my preferred edition of 40k)

[SynapsEase]

Yeah, we all loved 2nd Ed in Exeter.
The new rules seem very fast and concise but I feel something has been lost in translation over the years and now we are missing out on more idiosyncratic play-styles and units/load-outs.

I bought 2 edition when it started being reduced, and later enjoyed reading bits of Rogue Trader (didn't buy it originally, but have a weakens for hardbacks). I used to love the cultists chaos army in 2nd edition and adapted a few Necromunda figures, but then GW changed the army lists just to piss me off personally. Tried a little bit of 4th ed - but the rules ended up being requisitioned by an artist friend who was more dedicated to WH40K then I.  I'm more of a role-player and collector, but somewhere in there, games like Warhammer Quest and memories of 40K help me to understand the other members. ;)
