Nice job Groke. Pity you went for Ultramarines, but then I never did like them. Detail work looks cool
Hold on to your tiny bottles of Acrylic paint... Space Hulk is BACK!

But that's a bit like saying:

You still like reading - you must be able to therefore acknowledge others peoples enjoyment of different genres...

Also - DoW2 expansion has been announced and Chaos Marines have made the gig.

If you knew your 40k you'd know that it essentially raids all sci fi for cool ideas and builds a great gothic far future universe. It's also not averse to raiding fantasy for ideas (eldar= space elves).
Genestealers are a lot like aliens from the Alien films. Although they have evolved from the Yrgall stealers to become a forward arm of the Tyrannid hive fleets (who were not intended to be so insectile, rather more dinosaurish. But the succesive generations of writers and sculptors have moved them closer to insectile things. Hive Tyrants and Lictors once looked semi-reptillian but now look like giger got loose on them)

err...what could be cooler than commanding the Imperium of Man mercilessly slaughtering every alien or corrupted human you find in your path? So refreshing from all the shite sci-fi where the humans are a diplomatic peace loving enlightened types. The only possible thing I can think cooler than that would be slaugtering the Imperium of Man in their vain attempts to fight off the inevitable extinction of the species.
I almost got into 40k (properly) a year ago, but the local shop is run by a guy who speaks like Russell Brand and GW merch is stupidly overpriced. So I didn't.
I just want to play the game, not glue space marines to my fingers and trousers and paint things badly.

I stopped painting miniatures when I was in my early teens.
Once again, I am proven, if not cooler, then slightly less uncool than you
the white metal (sveltre?) has the advantage of being harder, so it holds shape better and doesn't poison your younger siblings when they eat the things. Apparently it makes modding a bit more difficult and this is the reason for the rise of Green Stuff (which as far as I can see is simply GW branded epoxy resin flogged at twice the price of standard epoxy resin).

If anyone remembers the sad, poorly cast and vastly cheaper Mutant Chronicles model that were close enough to scale as to make them great for modding, join me in the sad wankers corner where we can deplore the fact that the pre-film LOTR models were slightly to small to be used in modding.

Once you've painted the little creatures do you move them around on the carpet making sound effect noises as they slaughter each other or whatever, or do you just put them on a shelf and admire them? Or do they get incorporated into some giant battlefield model or something like that?
I can sort of see the attraction of the sci-fi comics or books or video games and how you might get into them and enjoy the escapism of all that but I can't make the leap from there to the little models.

You field them in a fairly sophisticated combat model that rewards good generalship and punishes lazy thinkers who subscribe to the 'CHARGE!!!' school of light brigade combat.

well not totally untrue, but the fact that you have to put turn limits and victory objectives on 40k games shows that it's not just line up and cast dice. It's actually a pretty sophisticated game. Just make sure you have the books and codecis with you. Lest the game descends into geek-rage and hair pulling.
