Hello,
I am a "renewed" dice chucker just reentering the game last week and, well at least it has been at least 8 1/2 years since I last played.

I played WH40K and loved it. I moved, got a new job and due to life situations, like being diagnosed with diabetes, my armies have been in the basement unpacked for all of those 8 1/2 years. I got the gaming bug again...turns out my 21 year old son likes to play M:TG. So I was a player, had no cards but started playing again about a month ago. Going into the local shop, I saw all kinds of table top games, and the locked cabinets of the local gamers WH40k and Fantasy figures. So I decided to dig my stuff out of the basement. I want to try to play 40K as well.

So I did two days ago. I forgot that I bought out a small store and I have a huge unassembled Catachan Army (These are all 3rd ed/MkIII stuff from the late 90's I think). So none of my rules or Codex apply, so I need new rules. long the way I found some WH40K epic, some 22 unopened blister packs and the boxed set, which appears to be partially assemble (but the box is in poor shape). Being unemployed (starting new job on 2/1 though) money is tight, so I sold the Epics in order to buy a Space Marines Codex and the large rulebook and if possible an Imperial Guard Codex.

I was invited to a local game by someone on BT that noticed we were from the same area, and that fellow referred me to this site as a resource. I have tons of questions (at first, about rebasing my miniatures) So you can blame him!

I look forward to "meeting" folks here.

Thanks,
Ted
