Oh 40k I started playing at the beginning of 2nd edition and had been playing pretty regularly until this last edition came out. I've played everything from 13 model deathwing squads to tyranid swarms that literally have 1000 models in 1500 pts (the old rules about not being able to shoot anything behind the first model you see made hormugants pretty nasty) It was a fine game but not one I'd like to play again, Blood Bowl on the other hand I'll play until I die.

So yeah I'm new to TPM 2008 and I was just looking around the forum and I can't seem to find a basic strategy thread. Could anyone lay out a general way to get things started off on the right foot. the tutorial isn't what I'm accustomed to in modern video games, so my jump in head first strategy failed miserably. thanks in advance Mike
