Now that you have your Codex and your first unit just about ready for the tabletop, what do you do next? Is this it? Has the end been reached? Oh no, dear reader, it's only just begun. First off, there's an army to build! The core army is a great place to start this task. In addition to this essential core of troops, you'll soon discover that there are plenty of other units to choose from and add to your ever-growing army. Just one quick flip through the Codex will certainly confirm this plethora of choices.

So where do you get more models? The most convenient route is that of the Online Store and the Chaos Space Marines Miniature Range pages found in this very section of the website. Here, you can read up on the units available to your army, see the actual models, and plan your future purchases. Or you can contact our friendly and knowledgeable Mail Order Department via telephone instead. All without ever leaving your home!

Eventually, though, you are going to want to leave home in order to play some games. Enter your local retailer or Games Workshop store. Here, you can talk about your army's progression with other generals, set up games, test your mettle, and grab that extra blister pack you've been eyeing up. Stores often have leagues and events that'll get you even more involved with the hobby and introduce you to a host of other people eager to play Warhammer. To help find the store nearest you, you need look no further than our store locator. This free online tool has but one purpose: to compile a list of local stores that stock Games Workshop products and then provide you with directions to visit the store. There is often contact info here as well, so you can call ahead and see if an event is being held that afternoon.

In addition to going out and playing games, be sure to feed your brain everything you can about the hobby to keep up with potential opponents. Visit the web site at the end of a hard days work, and pick up White Dwarf Magazine as it comes out each month (or better yet, get a subscription). There's always something new for you to read up on, like painting tips, scenarios, modelling techniques, new releases, sneak peeks, game winning tactics, and scenery projects to name but a few. As you can see, there is much more to the Game Workshop hobby than you may have first thought. Good luck with your new army and may your dice roll in your favour more often than not. Now, get out there and play some 40K!
