Son got me to buy some for him from a car boot sale, Then suggested we (meaning me), buy the black reach set. So we could play games together. It's been downhill from then on.

Its hard to be awesome, when your playing with little plastic men.
Welcome to Fantasy 40k
If you think your important, in the great scheme of things. Do the water test.
Put your hands in a bucket of warm water,
then pull them out fast. The size of the hole shows how important you are.
I think we should roll some dice, to see if we should roll some dice, To decide if all this dice rolling is good for the game.

I was mostly a tabletop rpger when I was younger. However, getting the time and schedules all to line up to get and keep a group together became more and more difficult. So, I started board gaming as it was easier to get in a game and be done.
One of those games was Mansions of Madness. It had miniatures, but I figured I could watch a few Youtube videos to teach me how to paint. Which I did.
Later, I learned of Dust Tactics also by Fantasy Flight. I liked Mansions of Madness well enough and these miniatures were pre-built and primed and looked easy enough to paint.
I went into a local gaming store to find out if there were other players playing it and found out there were. So I bought some units, painted them up and showed up one weekend.

My part time job at a hobby shop offered me an army and more weekend hours to learn WH 40k. All I had to do was learn the basics of the game and teach the youngsters how to build, paint and small conversions. I had a good time. Not sure who learned from whom on that deal. I sure do miss that bunch of kids.
