Hello! I'm looking to getting into the whole Warhammer 40,000 universe and start playing the minigame version. I am not totally new to the whole concept (I have Dawn of War: Dark Crusade, Dawn of War: Soulstorm, and Space Marines for the PS3), and I have been on YouTube and Google searching up history, races, information, etc; still I am finding the game hard to understand. I know it is complicated, and unfortunately there aren't many people that play it in my area, or that are into minigaming in general. I don't have a lot of money, and am thinking of playing Ultramarines (I know they are super strict on the Codex since they kinda wrote it. Here are the following things I have setbacks on:

-Most YouTube videos are catered to people whom already play the game.
-Most searches on the internet are for current players.
-Most beginner videos are hard to understand, and I have yet to grasp how this game is actually played.
-I am having trouble finding cheap essentials (rulebooks, codexes, etc.)

I just ordered an Ultramarine tactical squad, and I'm hoping this community could help a new guy like me out. I just wanna learn the basics so I can improve. I'm generally a quick learner. I have blast templates and flame templates already. If you all could help me out that would be awesome!
