So it begins!

Welcome to the home of my version of the Salamanders Fifth company.  My plan is to document the building out of the chapter from a pile of plastic to a good fighting force.  Some things to keep in mind while reading this blog. 

First, I'm not following the cannon for the Fifth, they are listed as a reserve company with only Tactical squads and Devastators.  I plan on having a full compliment of Tactical, Assault and Terminator units, as well as at least one unit from the 10th company of scouts. 

Secondly, this army is being built on the cheap!  Most of my squads are "snap-tight" marines from various starer sets.  Others are hand me downs and gifts from folks not playing much anymore.  What this means is my army is not going to be a show case army, its just going to be fun to build and fun to play.  I've been lucky to get one or two golden finds in the hand me down boxes, like a full predator and dreadnought kit un-assembled and new in their boxes! 

Lastly, I'm not building a min-max army.  I'm building an army to play games with friends, and to build some cool models.  Hope you guys enjoy my rambling and attempts at the hobby!
