So I've been a lurker for a few weeks now, steadily eating my way through your fine site's backlog of fun forum posts, intriguing articles, and delicious tactica.

I'm a longtime WHFB player, and I've just begun to get into 40K with a different gaming group. I'm hoping that soon I'll be able to give some slightly useful input on some things I see around here, and I'm certainly looking forwards to being a member and not just a reader.

The mechanics stuff: I've got 3000 points of VC and 5000 points of dark elves (both fantasy), and I've got a basic 1000 or so of Orks that I'm busy assembling, priming, and feeling my way through painting. I'm really looking forwards to playing orks, as I dig the 'mad max' feel and the very fast and loose fluff. Orks in particular feel like a very characterful yet unrestrictive kind of race to play as. My name is an army idea I'm toying with (for after I have the core of my force done and ready to go) about a converted army led by a Big Mek who, after being inspired by some looted music, gets it into his head that all the worlds a stage. The centrepiece would be a (core choice) Deff Dread converted to be a marching band drummer, with each unit being tied into the theme and converted with musical flair in mind (such as a Kustom Force Field mek with a large musical score hanging off of his wires, and a wierdboy in a bow tie, holding a baton as if conducting. The Weirdboy model reminds of of a few conductors I've seen)

So that's about it, my hopes, dreams, and aspirations all down on paper... I mean interwebstuff.

(Also, let's hope I get off to a better start than coming out of the proverbial closet with a rant about guns. I hope that anyone I've offended can be placated with baked cookies sent in the mail.)

Welcome,a musical themed ork army that sounds cool.You should totally get some old Goff rocker models and use em as Nobs.Hope to see pics of the army soon.


And oh you have not offended but can I still get those cookies?

hi and welcome to the boards!

Welcome!
I'm with you on the Orks thing; I like their post-apocalyptic feel. A bit of the ol' ultra-violence!

Welcome.
