I have decided to join this forum, finally.

I have been painting and gaming for about 11 years now. I had been building models for even longer, for about 17 years. My first gaming kit was a Space Marine attack bike and I painted it as an Ultramarine [go figure]. After that I got a Captain, some assault marines, and tactical marines. However, the model which always drew my eye when I walked into the GW store was the Leman Russ Battle tank. So, one day I bought a blister of 2 of the old school Cadians and the 3rd edition Imperial Guard codex. The urban Cadians inside the back cover sealed the deal. That year for my birthday I got a Leman Russ and a squad of Steel legion. Now, over the last 10 years or so I have slowly built up around 5000pts worth of Imperial Guard. I call my army the 14th Imperial Task Force and it is made up of mostly Cadians, but also the Steel Legion and DKOK. More recently, in about the last 2 years I started playing some specialist games as well. I started BFG with Imperial Fleet and Battlefleet Vengeance is about 2000pts strong now. I also have a Reiklander Mercenary Band for Mordheim. I have about 50pts worth of Khador for Warmachinem and I think I'm all set with models for now. I still have a bunch of guardsmen and tanks to paint, so once that is done I will buy some more.
I really only started playing these games about 4-5 years ago and I started going to some local tournaments last year. Next weekend I am playing in a team tourney, so I plan to have some fun doing that. I started a blog as well which you can find at http://clickityclak.blogspot.com/ if you are interested. It mostly painting and modelling oriented, since I don't take myself to be a good enough player yet to offer and insightful advice. Feel free to go over there and check out some of my models and works.

Thanks.
