Welcome to the Jackson Family 40k Blog site!
To give you all a little background, we are a family of 40k players. We recently moved to Jefferson City, Missouri, where there are 0 tabletop game stores, so have built a table in the basement for our gaming enjoyment.
We currently own 4 armies:
5k points of Blood Angels (Mike - dad)
3k points of Dark Angels (Cassie - mom)
4k points of Space Wolves (Nancy - daughter)
4k points of Imperial/Crimson Fists (Gerrit - son).
I do have a brother that I am teaching to play, but I just decided tonight to get in a game with my son (who is 8) and throw together a little battle report.
