I never actually bothered painting most of my army and instead preferred spending the time on the game itself so as long as my opponent and I were agreed on what the units were from the start that was fine.



I've actually just started reading the same series as I'd heard a lot of positive comments about it, I have to admit I'm not a fan of the Imperial Guard compared to the Astartes however I've run out of other WH40k books and knowing how well Dan Abnett does with 'normal' characters I decided to give it a go and bought the first six for travelling. So far I've been really enjoying them aside from some of the random jumping around which I find a little tricky to follow at times.

There's a few Heresy books due this year which I'm hoping are going to pick the pace back up, Prospero burns certainly sounds promising as this is one of the big events in the heresy where the Space Wolves clashed with the Thousand Sons after being sent to take the Primarch Magnus back to Terra.

I'm about to finish the first one, and move on to Ghostmaker. I don't really care for the jumping around either..but I do get how it would follow a person's own thoughts/memories, but going from in his 20s, to current time, back to teens, then to current time, then back to 20s is hard to follow if you don't have the time to knock out a couple chapters in one sitting. But so far I'm enjoying the series. I have the dawn of war series waiting in the wings as well, which follow the games.
