When the Imperial Guard codex was on the horizon I eagerly jumped on it. Partially because IG was the original army I wanted to play and partially because I was burnt out on my Marines.
I did some reflection recently and I think I figured out why I was so burnt out on them. All of my tactical marines (at least the so-called "bolter dudes" and most of the sargeants) were from Battle for Maccragge and Black Reach box sets. Bascially it meant that I had an army full of cookie cutter troops.
No wonder I was burnt out, I had assembled and painted over 40 nearly identical marines.
I picked up a box of Tactical Marines yesterday and built one. Getting a chance to customize a marine has fixed a lot of the issues I think I had.
