Well after almost three years of taking a break I have decided to get back into Warhammer 40k. First off let me list some reason why I stopped playing.
1. My best friend sold off his Chaos Space Marine Army and he and I started playing almost 20 years ago.
2. Our local gaming store closed and I had to drive two hours to play a game.
3. The cost seemed to increase quite a bit with the release of 6th edition.
4. I started playing alternate games like DUST Tactics and X-Wing.
I think these are some of the top reasons that I left for a while and number one still holds true. So now I will list some reasons that I am back.
1. We have a two local gaming stores now with 12 tables between the two and a pretty consistent group of gamers.
2. Although the cost is still a factor I do not plan on starting any new armies just updating my existing armies. I have also noticed cost going up everywhere for the most part. I was surprised at Battlefront's price increase with DUST Tactics models and a little disappointed. X-Wing has stayed the same but they also have larger kits and Star Wars Armada is coming out soon which is priced fair but still another game with entry costs.
3. So far watching battle reports and seeing how 7th edition is played I think there have been some really good changes to the system.
4. I have two painted armies just collecting dust so I might as well play with them.
So there it is, my reasoning , well at least some of it. I play Tau and Space Wolves and my buddy Austin plays Orks. We are going to try and play this weekend if we can find the new Ork codex and the new rulebook in stock. Be prepared for more posts and I will start featuring my Tau units soon since they are my primary army.

DUST Babylon Premium Pics
I got a nice surprise for Christmas and it was the USMC Babylon Task Force. This set is just very well done and I love the paint scheme. I am trying to find a way to incorporate more of these units into my list so I can show them off. I really like the Barking Dog (light) which is only 14 points to field. Here are some pictures and our annual DUST event is Saturday so we will have plenty of pics and battle reports soon.
