In 1998 I stumbled on a box of space marines while on holiday. After some convincing i managed to get a hold of them and the 3rd codex. This kicked started my 20 year hobby journey, where I have met a ton of good mates and have had some great times.

 

I've spent this year figuring out how to celebrate this and then stumbled on the models from my first box of marines from 1998. I then went and scoured ebay for a shrink wrapped 1998 era combat squad. A few weeks later this happened, let me present the Australius Chapter of Adeptus Astartes

If you would like to know more and see more photos, I wrote 3 parts of wordy-words on the process of reliving my childhood on the goonhammer blog.

 

Part 0: Where I dissect how and why 10 year old me screwed up on such a large scale.

 

Part 1: I put the box together and rant about how plastic tech has progressed

 

Part 2: I paint the marines and try not to panic

Lovely stuff!

 

That page snippet of the 3rd Ed codex really takes me back to being a kiddo :biggrin.:

 

Nice! That's exactly what I was going for with the snippet so I'm glad it worked!

 

You can confidently say your modeling and painting skills greatly improved during your years as a WH40K fan.

Thanks heaps mate!
