Six mistakes mankind keeps making century after century: Believing that personal gain is made by crushing others; Worrying about things that cannot be changed or corrected; Insisting that a thing is impossible because we cannot accomplish it; Refusing to set aside trivial preferences; Neglecting development and refinement of the mind; Attempting to compel others to believe and live as we do |

Honestly... Yes, it was the ill fated Stunties. Why? I liked the fluff and theme of the army at the time. Heavys as troops options.. biker guilds... massed heavy bolter fire, with possabilities of massive hits. Much to love about them... including Some People not being to EVER beat them, no matter what or how they played.

Of all the races of the universe the Squats have the longest memories and the shortest tempers. They are uncouth, unpredictably violent, and frequently drunk. Overall, I'm glad they're on our side!

I started with Tau because I thought "Battlesuits and anti-grav tanks? They must be awesome!". I continue with Tau because I'm out to prove that the army is still viable to the local metagame.

Eldar, sadly. I loathe the Eldar now, but when I started... well, it was the first codex I got my hands on (second hand), so that was what I went with.

If this was a genuine cross section of 40k gamers (not just people on here) I'd expect marines to take the poll by storm. Every kid I knew back in the day was on Marines, and not much has changed today.
My first 40k army was Eldar, swiftly followed by Orks, but I've always been more into WHFB

My friend introduced me to the game. He played Space Marines, I played his all foot slogging Dark Eldar. After getting stomped by him we went to the store and I chose Chaos Space Marines because of how badly he beat me. 10 years later Dark Eldar are my main and it's the same codex.

Well, I've told this story before,but what the heck...
My first army was Dark Eldar,not so much by choice,but basicly due to the fact that a friend had purchased 2 of the old 3rd ed. starter boxes,and wanted some one to play against.
He gave me all the Dark Eldar minis from the two boxes (40 warriors),and with the purchase of a (still playable) Codex,a few raiders,ravengers and an HQ + incubi,I was off and running.
Never won that many games,but it was good times.

I got a box of used Squats, IG and Marines when i was about 11, but the old Beaky RTB01 Marines were the only ones I could make an 'army' out of, so Marines it is....

Space Marines: started in 3rd Ed and got the starter box set, like many people on here I'd guess. Then continued expanding the marines for a couple of years, as the manager of my FLGS said they were good for first time players.
I then moved on to Witch Hunters, which gradually evolved into the IG I collect to this day!
