Hello there

My name is Hillary, aka Vermilion Butterfly. I really am starting to grow an interest in Warhammer due to my boyfriend. I saw all the wonderful Orks and daemons that he painted and it made me want to paint some of my own, haha.

I really want to start my own army, but I don't have any money atm... :(

But I do enjoy being a Warhammer GF haha, it's a fun world to be a part of. I think the game itself is pretty interesting and unique. You need a lot of intelligence, logic, and artistic ability to play... and of course dedication!!

But right now I'm just there, watching as my BF's army grows larger and gets newer pieces added to it.

If you want to know more about his army, talk to me, I'd be happy to chat about it.

~Hillary

Well this is a different intro than I've ever seen before.

Welcome anyways.

Is that a bad thing? Lol... :X

Thanks

Welcome to DakkaDakka. Your intro hurts my eyes. So Bright! LOL

Is your BF on Dakka? Does he have a gallery?

Not neccesarily, It's just... different and unexpected.

With an intro that color I think she needs to play Slaanesh or Nids. Old 2nd Ed nids.

Welcome.

Aw. You changed your avatar...

Welcome to Dakka.Please rember that we are not liable for any harm our patients may cause you!

Nice Intro..

Good fun having a significant other you can share a hobby with.

I Salute you both for your luck.

Welcome to dakka.

Welcome.

I was thinking Eldar, Taste the rainbow and all that.

Hey, welcome to the world of Dakka. I have found that the cheapest way to get an army started is through e-bay.
There is always someone trying to flog there old models.
There always seems to be loads of SM stuff for sale. They would probably be a good Army for a beginner too.

Welcome and the purple intro gave me seizures. Hope you like the site.

Thank you all for the welcomes and what not, very sweet.

I changed my avatar back, haha. And, I'm still deciding what to play... but thank you for the suggestions, I'll defenitely look into that.

And no, my BF doesn't have an account yet, but when he does I'll be sure to tell you all about it.

My apologies to all of you who were injured or disturbed due to my purple text, haha...

And yes, eBay is quite a resourceful way to get some great starting pieces, and other misc. items. My BF uses that method sometimes too... I believe atm he is bidding on the Great Unclean One... I am really hoping he wins because that piece is sooooooo cool.

Please,no daemons.Just no.
As an army on their own no.

Just to paint they are ok,but as an army I don't like em.
But that is just IMHO.

Oh ok, I see... I'll think about that, because I'm really not sure as to what I'll do yet. Haha, thank you, really, I will take it into consideration.

Ask around Dakka rather.I am the village idiot round these parts so don't take much from what I say.

But I say go here:


http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/home.jsp

Read the fluff,checkout the minis.See what you like.
Something will usally strike you as "Awesome" and you'll go for that.I personally just don't like daemons because I am a grudge holder(damn you Nick and your Bloodthirsters)!!

Welcome It's fun to be able to have your significant other interested in warhammer!

My wife hates it with a vengeance but that is also fun, in it's own way!

It's also great that he can probably show you a bit about painting (if you're interested) so that when you start out, your models can look good and still be a valuable part of your army in the future . Washes are key for this! I wish I'd known about them when I first started

I personally thought daemons were very interesting, and their look is just so intimidating and scary, and I really love it. I was looking at some Slaanesh pieces and they really caught my eye.... especially the Greater Daemon of Slaanesh.

Although the paint job on the one I saw wasn't the best thing on earth, it still looked pretty kick-ass. I don't really know... I just have to look around and see what I really like.



Automatically Appended Next Post:
Oh yeah definitely!!! My boyfriend's pieces are just so well-painted, makes me love him even more haha.

I just love getting to go to shops with him when he's buying Warhammer stuff because I get to see all these amazing things and hearing him talk about it just makes me want to become part of the fun.

I feel a little left out sometimes haha, but I really do think it's an awesome thing to get into... Warhammer is really great, you can really make some great things with a little paint and a lot of hard work, I think it's worth all the time spent.

I don't understand why some chicks don't like the Warhammer scene, it seems entertaining and fun to be a part of.

But that's just my opinion.

Hah! Well, my wife thinks the daemons models are actually "demonic"... she doesn't mind if I play the "good guys"

I'd say go for whatever army you like the look of best! Daemons are cool and organic looking, great for using washes on and painting in vibrant colors!

I think the "feeling a little left out" is why some women don't like warhammer, but if you're playing it yourself, there's nothing to be left out on

Then go with them,if it intrests you,you are going to stick with for longer.

Anywho these are my fav slaanesh daemons:

http://www.coolminiornot.com/83606

Also check out the rest of the Cmon gallery.Some intresting stuff there:
http://www.coolminiornot.com/browse

I think if girls play Warhammer it makes them look cooler and cuter, haha. (There's nothing better than a hot/cute/sexy/smart girl playing Warhammer and being very skilled at it.) And if you're doing it to be closer to your guy, that's even better too.

But I'm not doing it just for him, I'm doing it for me. And because I really need to do something other than music... practicing isn't always that fun... heheh.

But there's so much variety in Warhammer... that's why I love it. There's something there for everyone! And girls shouldn't be getting mad at their guys because they're doing something fun. Haha.

----

Thanks for the links I'll be sure to check 'em out in a little bit.

Welcome tp Dakka.

Any army is up for a go, but I suppose sistas of battle could be the most appealing to u? That said you could also have a fem guard army.

But never mind that, pick wat you want. As long as it serves the Emprahs will!

I was looking at some Slaanesh models and I was really attracted to that actually...

The daemonettes just kind of got to me... I really liked what I saw when I was looking up some pieces on Games Workshop.

Thank you for the greeting!

Well yeah. That the nature of Slaanesh. He?she/it can be very attractive. that why I have 3 sqauds of noise marines

I remember when my boyfriend first told me about Slaanesh and daemonettes and what not... I had a feeling I would like it when I saw it... and it turns out I did!! Haha.

But I'm still undecided on what to play on... The possibilities are endless.

i like the pink, and the avatar. excellent choices my dear. welcome to the forums.

Welcome! Check some of the galleries on this site, its a great way of checking which armies attact your attention (dont forget to comment and vote when you do).

Cheers

Thanks lord marcus, that's very sweet and thank you darkkt - I'll be sure to start looking about.

Yo VM thanx for adding me on your friends list. that was very kind of you.

That may be the case. But there is always the risk of waking up one mornig next to a he-goat and saying to yourself:

"What was I THINKING?!?"

Welcome to Dakka

Oh wow... lol.

Thank you rzsanguine.


------
I think I have made my choice on what to play on...

...?

And that is?
C'mon! The suspense is killing me!

Mmmmm....

Daemons.

Hahaha... They make me giggle with joy, so daemons... which? Don't know...

But I really like Slaanesh though... that's for sure...

I like the daemonettes... I love how they look, they look like they'll be fun to paint once I buy some.

...another lost soul.
We shall miss you VB, for a second I really thought you had a chance...

Hey hey hey, I never said I was going to play on them... I might just collect some models for the hell of it.

I still haven't made my choice!!!! I'm still unsure, it takes time to choose wisely, haha.

Well, what do you think I should choose?

Already she has been tainted!!!
Quick! Prime the Cyclonic Torpedoes!

Seriously though, choose what you want. My friend has a deamon army and it's heaps fun to play against. (Fortuantely for me he doesn't have any greater deamons...yet.)

Oh wow... just wow...

I think I just have to visit a shop and look about and surf the web and read about different races... blah blah blah.

And find something I like. But for now, I say daemons. I might change my mind later. I dunno...

It's okay, lol, I'm not having a go at you. It's fine whatever army you choose. It's just from my witch hunter point of view it does seem a little "heretical".

-hugs-

lol, yay!

lol

try sisters of battle? but made paint them up in your fav colors?

*bows*

Actually, I might consider that, because that was one of my choices earlier.

I know someone who plays Sisters of Battle. I don't like him though, haha.

-hugs lord marcus-

*accepts hug, when finished, bows, takes hand, kisses back of hand, its courtesy you know*

oh, now don't blush, i'm just trying to be a gentleman, unlike some people i know.

...(listens)...(registers)...hey!

Slaanesh is what caught my eye originally. Anyways welcome to dakkadakka and start getting that army soon to pwn boyz.

not you faithfull. jeez.

Thanks satanslandlady!!

And what just happened lord marcus and Emperors Faithful??

Why hello there Hillary.

Dakka to WelcomeWelcome.

how do people make these quotes....shrugs head.....

click the quote button-------------------------------------------------------------------------------->

on the post you want to quote

that is not! how i meant what i said!

You logged into the right account there marcus?

yea. why>

Arctik_Firangi - ?

Everyone is scaring me a tad bit.

And that quote that you posted that I "wrote" makes no sense!!

it does. the malformed sense will become apparent later.

The only reason all these guys are commenting is because you are a woman. They're not used to seeing the opposite sex involved.

Now you know, and a non-creepy welcome to you.
I suggest the Painting and Modeling (or P&M) Blogs.

How the hell is this thread still going on? Last time a Salutations thread got this derailed, a Mod was cleaning it up in no time.

That being said:
Welcome, Hillary! Hope you enjoy Dakka!

Thank you all for your welcomes!

But please keep the comments on topic... If you really want to talk to me or about me this bad... I guess just post a another topic... about me?

Or message me!

<3 V.B.

lord marcus wrote:it does. the malformed sense will become apparent later.

That's the creeepiest explanation of a dirty joke I've ever heard. Run, girl, run!

I got the joke... It's just that I wished not to acknowledge it...

Anywho...

ah, well i didn't know that. i thought i was helping explain it. ah well. cyall later.

You're allowed to have pink orks by the way. Check out my gallery. My wife paints all the orks, and you can see her hand at work.

If you're starting Slaaneshi daemons, there's some good threads in the Painting & Modeling and Dakka P&M Blogs you could search for on the subject.

Thanks, I will most definitely look.

Oi! Welcome to dah madhouse!

Thanks

Are you starting Slaanesh daemons?

I actually might do so myself, seeing as how my friend plays Eldar.....

Also, if you're looking into Orks I may have a cheap mob of Boyz for sale.

Slaaneshi Deamons seems to be getting very very popular.

I am slowly working on a Slaanesh Deamon army myself, since with the most recent Chaos Codex, I have more usable models for a deamon army than a Emperor's Children force.

Yeah, I'm aiming to start Slaanesh daemons, yet I have to save up some money first.

I might just end up mooching off my bf's paint though, to paint the first few models I get.

I think Orks are cool, but I don't know if they're really for me. I guess I'm not an Ork type of girl. But you can talk to my bf regarding Ork stuff - he plays Orks. Well not plays, but he will play Orks once his army is done.

Visualizing this thread is both disturbing and hilarious.

that being said GO SLAANESH! I played against slaanesh daemons once and it was an awesome game. admittedly it was awesome because my FWs held off a greater demon in CC for like, 3 or 4 turns and my stealth suits PILLAGED a squad of daemonettes (ending with some CC), but hey it's always awesomesauce when Tau do well in CC.

Slaanesh Deamonettes are pretty weak. I'm sorry but for once the answer to a super bad dude/dudette is lasgun fire instead of boltguns.

Even gretchin stand a chance against these chicks.

However what IS cool is the Masque's (Slaanesh HQ) ability to make your enemy DANCE in the direction you want. It is fired like a shooting weapon and is great for moving them into charge range. You can do it 3 times even. You roll D6 to see how far you move wherever you like. If you are lucky you can get them over 18" inches across the field.

Perfect for moving them out of cover, off an objective, into charge range or just for the laugh.

Really screws up a well dug in army. Or any formation for that matter.

spartanghost :
...Hilarious and disturbing? Why?

Emperors Faithful :
Oh wow, that sounds pretty interesting...

Yeah, my friend has REALLY screwed up a squad or two when I thought they had a couple of turns to shoot before getting charged and THEN start dancing to "I WILL SURVIVE!" right into charge range.

Honestly, best bit of randomness GW has come up with. If you are a little ecentric you could play your speaker everytime you "shoot" that power.

I don't know much about her stats apart from having 2 wounds, a 4+ or 3+ invo, a huge initiative, a crap-load of attacks, but only T3...mabye T4.

O.o

Wow, that's pretty weird/ random.

O.o?

Yes, it is wierd.
Yes, it is random.
But none can deny its AWESOMENESS!!!

True, true.

Holy Christwagons. This is the third? fourth? intro thread about a girl. Brothers, I fear this hobby is becoming tainted! What in the wide world of sports is happening!

LOL. Anyway, welcome to the dark nether regions of the web. Don't mind me, I'm just the attack dog. I don't have rabies. Or do I? LOL.

Also, am I the only one noticing that all the girlies play slannesh?

*Edit my bad , ( i dont play slanesh , but they arnt painted might play a part xD )

Girls are most certainly allowed to play Warhammer... especially if they own at it!

There are many out there who do just that!

Not all girls choose slaneesh.

The good, well-mannered, nice ones choose SoB.

However (And I believe I've said this before), there are 3 kind of 40k chicks.

1) Those who collect Slaneesh.
2) Those who collect Witch Hunters.
3) Those who collect whatever the feth they want (which may include either 1 or 2)

QFT. You seem so humble from your posts VB.

SoB are ok.

But I like Daemons better.

so what music do you play??? I knew a girl named hillary that played violin...

By the way this is one of the longest welcome threads I have ever seen.

I play percussion and low brass in band.

Used to play bass.. was quite terrible at it, though... haha.

And yes, it probably is... 5 pages... it's pretty long.

Just to get one last post in.

Congrats on having the longest, if not the warmest, wlecome to dakka.

Thank you!

Also hi Hillary, I like your avatar and Slaanesh anything is fun to model. Careful you don't go overboard and get them mistaken for nurgle units. I once saw waaaay too many tentacles on a "Slaaneshi" lord and people thought it was a lord of nurgle.

Thank you Gandair!

And I guess some men aren't used to seeing female gamers.

I think this is halirious how many posts you get in the welcome section just for being a girl.
