I'm a brand new wargamer, just getting into Warhammer 40k. I'm on a budget since I'm a poor college student. I have a custom Successor Chapter of the Dark Angels called the Penitent Avengers. They have black armor, with red and purple details (purple robes). I'm training to be an Army officer, so I like infantry and those type of battlefield tactics. Flexibility with my troops is key. Here is my army currently:
