lol, very true

I know the hobby/book store I call my local (shout out to Tactics perth) has their tiny room at the front of the store so I'm treated to that joy every time I go in to cruise the shelves,

Stuff.
Things.

Preparing for War.

Play space marine and dow, look at some lore.

Myself and my Chapter members usually get on our voice communications, talk lore, talk table top, talk about what we'd like in EC, play some Space Marine, post funny gifs & images.

Xenology... 60 bucks on ebay /flex

Lotsa books. Lots and lots of books.
I suggest Gaunt's Ghosts by Dan Abnett and the Night Lords series by Aaron Dembski-Bowden

Reading the rule book for table top(over and over and over again) collecting and painting my first army, Chaos Daemons, at the moment I am finding parts and inspiration for making a converted Daemon Prince of Tzeentch and have not decided what troop choice combination to go with yet, aming for 1500 points but with the point costs for Greater Daemons and Daemon Princes(especially for Tzeentch) I might have to go 2000 points or higher.

just finished reading Battle of the fang and starting on Iron Guard.

Started replaying DoW the first game.

Working on 40k art while playing DoW and other games intermittently.

...also been learning to play Dark Heresy

I play (and GM) a lot of Dark Heresy, Deathwatch, Black Crusade, and Only War. And occasionally I have time to play some Dawn of War or tabletop 40k.
