Introduction!

I'd been meaning to start one of these for a while, and was fortunate that the other night while chatting with Felix, that he suggested we give it a go (the Galaxy in Flames blog by some of the WW40k guys is what really inspired myself). I figured I'd also invite my mate Nick along as well, so theres at least one talented painter on here to make up for my shortcomings!

A little about myself (and I'll let the others explain their history in the hobby as well). I've been collecting for coming up to 15 years now, starting before my teens, when one of my mates at high school suckered me in, though living no where near a store that sold it, always left us looking forward to our occasional trip up to Brissy. It wasn't until i finally moved here just before my 21st that i really got into the Hobby though, when i was fortunate enough to score a job working at GW for a few years, most of this time spent in a Bunker.

I left there just as the Horus Heresy stuff started to get released from Forge World, and though 40k was starting to leave me a tad burnt out, the Legion list looked amazing, the book itself blew me away with its quality, there was no shortage of background to read, and the list itself offered so many options. The biggest issue it left me with was which Legion to collect, originally going to go with Dark Angels, I ended up changing my mind a half dozen times until finally settling on Imperial Fists, well at least until I saw the Taghmata Omnissiah list in Book III, now I'm painting up an army for that as well which I'll be progressing along with pictures and musings on the list itself, while I'm also organising a Horus Heresy 2500 point tournament that will be run next week (thanks to Games Workshop Mt Gravatt for offering their bunker up for our use).

And to start with, here is what will be one of the first units for my list.
