Growing up I had absolutely no exposure to games like Warhammer. I played a little MTG and the Battletech TCG but otherwise I was a PC/console gamer. For the last few years I've been into the WoW hardcore raiding scene. Well, I recently stumbled across the Origins convention here in Columbus Ohio and for some reason I was instantly intrigued. I think it was something about seeing so many fellow nerds in person that got me excited . So I talked with my friend (not sure what name you guys know him by) and he's been introducing me to the world of Warhammer.

In terms of the fluff and the aesthetics I was torn between Necron and Tyranid because they both sound and look completely badass. I'm weary of Tyranid because they look very challenging to paint well, but I don't like that the Necron codex is so old and lacks variety. So I'm committing to Nids for now and we will just have to see how it goes.

Welcome to dak dak¡ I am around the Columbus Ohio area. What gaming store do you usually go to?

Welcome to Dakka! Tyranids aren't too bad to give a basic paint job and all those curves and details gives you something to do as you get even better.

You'll have fun, either way...

I actually have no idea yet. According to GWS website, there isn't really anything near the Dublin area that is still open. The Soldiery on High street sounds like an excellent place to check out though.

Another really good place is Guard Tower. It is on Trabue Road close to the railroad tracks and resivoir. Been there once and plan to go there alot more. Too bad i live on the other side of Columbus and takes me about an hour to get there depending on traffic. I live out in the boonies close to Pataskala.
