Hello all. I first came into the hobby a couple of months ago, when it was raining like mad on a sunday morning, I couldn't walk back home because it was hailing too, very big hail. I seeked shelter and I chose the nearest store, a games workshop store. I came in and I was amazing, all of the detail on the miniatures, the strategies, and the general fun! When one of the 40k games ended a clerk asked if I wanted to play, I said no at first because I had never played, but then he told me it was beginners sunday, so I said yes. He taught me the basics, Moving, Shooting, Assaulting, and what not and I loved it! I wanted more, so I asked what was a good beginners set, he told me AOBR was the best (And only) so I bought it, and I loved it! But now two months later I haven't painted anything except a SM ts (Tactical Squad), but I am going to paint a whole lot more.
This brings me to the reason why I joined. I joined because I needed help, with painting, and with gaming.
Thanks for reading, and happy gaming!
-Flynn

If your family is mad at you, Ogres are the way to go. No one could be mad at Ogres. But if you come out and they demand to know what you're wasting your time on and you hold up a rat, you're not going to make any friends.

Welcome to Dakka.
There are several great tutorials to read, and if you need motivation, the Dakka P&M Blogs always work for me! (Although admittedly, I haven't painted my whole AoBR set yet.)

hi.
nice how you sort of happened upon the game by chance. best of luck with the painting; I am by no means a great painter, but there's something rewarding about painting a figure to completion. good luck with your endeavours!
