Well I've used Dakka for years for tips on modelling projects and Army list ideas, and i figured its high time to jump head first into the community.

I've played Warhammer 40k since late second edition, circa 1998. From there I started WFB, and most all of the Specialist Games GW has put out. I picked up a few FOW models a few years back and since then I have amassed a sizable Mid-Late War American force.

I'm a bit of a ForgeWorld Junkie and have contributed waaaay too much to their bottom line over the last few years.

Currently I am working on my Tallarn Imperial Guard army, just painting legions of troopers (about 200 of 400 painted right now). I have a sizeable Armoured Detachment that goes with them, numbering about 40 tanks.

I also play Marines, Blood Guard, my own homebrew chapter, and they are sitting at 4 and half companies strength right now, but are on the back burner, as are my Orks.

Fantasy I play Dwarfs (8-10k), Gobbos (3-4k), Kislevites (5-6k) and Dogs of War (2-3k).

So yes, I love my hobby, and can never seem to stop collecting, converting, painting and gaming. I am hoping Dakka will be a continued source of help and inspiration, wherever my projects lead

Cheers,

JO

Hey JO, you have an impressive list of armies, models, and factions. Nice to see somebody like you around here.

Why...thank you

My parents said while i was growing up the hobby kept me from drugs as i could never afford them and Warhammer, lol.

Isn't that the truth! The only thing I can afford now is the occasional cheap pack of cigarettes and the really cheap whiskey... ugh. Why do I play 40k!? Haha.

LOL very true, welcome to Dakka!

Edit: Heh, I quoted the wrong text.

Welcome to dakka
and its possible to afford both, just not worth it, i gave up ages ago, but as a result i shake alot, so it made painting alot harder.

nidmaster: and as long as that whiskey is jack daniels its fine by me
