Hi, I just thought I'd introduce myself before I start posting proper on this forum.

My name is Jake, though I go by the name 'Blackjack13' on the majority of forums that I'm on, I'm 18 and currently living in Hampshire, UK (exactly where is variable at the mo).

I recently got back into wargaming, having given it up for 3 years, but having be playing on and off since I was about 10 (?) and interested since way before then.

I currently don't have any armies, having sold them all off when I quit but prior to that I used to play principly 40K, had Dark Angels & 'nids, and dabled in fantasy (Hordes of Chaos - Slaanesh) along with some other systems.

Necromunda is my favourite system, I'd just never had an opportunity to play prior to now, and what got me back into gaming along with a want/need for the social aspect which I missed. I game-to-paint (where as some paint-to-game) with the creative side being my favourite aspect of the hobby, though I do play still.

These are the games/forces I'm intending to start playing now that I'm back (in order of importance):

NECROMUNDA - Orlock/Esher/Cawdor (all with the classic models) & will be creating all hired guns!
WARHAMMER 40K - Imperial Guard/Space Marines/Chaos - waiting to see what the new rules/codex bring as I don't want to be left witha redundant army (I'm guessing I won't be able to do my Marines with what they did to the DA and BA lists and Guard is looking at being a little too pricey)
URBAN WAR - Triad/Viridians
INFINITY - Yu Jing
WARMACHINE - Protecorate of Menoth
BLOOD BOWL - Humans

As you can probably tell I like my Sci-Fi!

Outside of wargaming I Skate, BMX, play bass and am a proper punk-rock kid - so wargaming is kinda my dark little secret due to who I hang around with (they don't understand...)!

P.S. - Sorry I have a habit of writing epic length posts!
