Well here is my introduction post, name's Jace. I had played Dawn of War back in 2006 and really enjoyed it, especially the Eldar. Something about putting turrets all over the map and then making them invisable, quickest way to not make friends in the house. Anywho, my last few months in the Navy last year was when a friend of mine suggested I take up Warhammer 40K as a hobby. I spent my tax return of about 600 bones to get started on my Tau Empire army, He said it would be perfect for an anime nerd like me. Big robots and me being a huge Gundam fan, that sounds like a perfect match. Later on in the year, I also picked up some Eldar to keep true to my first love.

So far my gaming experience has been awesome and destructive, but with all the firepower at my disposal, I am still yet to win a match. But even with my rookie record, I only find myself wanting to play more. I am planning on taking my GI Bill to college and using the money to live easy and start working on a Space Marine army, I plan on building my favorite chapter, the Blood Angels. Love to talk about the game and anything else that might come up. You know who to call.
