User blog:Kirbycollin1/The Tabletop

Im just wondering who here plays the table-top version? My friend collects tyranids and hes trying to get me to start collecting space marines so we can play it together. Does anyone who plays it have any recommendations for someone who is just new to it (what to buy, etc) Im thinking of just buying the Assault on Black Reach set and giving the orks to my other friend (who can't afford it at the moment). So does anyone have any recommendations on how to start off?
