Pauper with Promise

Hello everyone! Good to meet everyone here at Dakka Dakka.
I first discovered Warhammer 40k in 1988! A new kid had moved into town a few blocks away from me and with him he brought strange interests from far away. One such interest was his collection of space marines and demon miniatures. I was immediately hooked on the hobby, and the Lord of Change was love at first sight! That fateful day started me down the long road of corruption hehe. I remember playing using the old Rogue Trader rules back when a box of 30 space marines was less than $20 and a Land Raider was only $25! We'd all gather around a table in my friends basement on Friday night and start our games with whatever minis we had, and would play all weekend.
In my time playing I think I've played just about every army there is except Dark Eldar (I just don't like their look) and Chaos has definitely been my longest running army. I think I played them for over 10 years alone. Currently I have a Tau and Eldar army and my wife plays Space Wolves. (I knew if my relationship was going to last I needed a gamer girl and got very lucky finding mine  ) In truth, my wife and I haven't played tabletop in a couple of years now though we still do like painting the miniatures. We do play the Dark Heresy, Rogue Trader, and Deathwatch roleplaying games and we still love reading the Black Library books (although some really are terrible lol). Our Dawn of War I & II addiction runs pretty deep as well.
Lately I've been having more fun creating relics from Warhammer 40k, like life sized purity seal pins to decorate gaming bags, and Imperium military medals. Fluff like that has really made our RPG games much more interesting since awards are actually given out and boy do we lord them over each other haha.
Anyway, it's a pleasure to be here at Dakka Dakka and I look forward to getting to know the community better.
Cheers,
Inquisitor Hexx.

Welcome back to the fold, brother! Gather round the fire while Frazzled tells tales of the old days when we played wargames using soldiers carved from the tusks of mastadons...
Nice to have another grizzled beardy around!

What harm can it do to find out? It's a question that left bruises down the centuries, even more than "It can't hurt if I only take one" and "It's all right if you only do it standing up." Terry Pratchett, Making Money
"Can a magician kill a man by magic?" Lord Wellington asked Strange. Strange frowned. He seemed to dislike the question. "I suppose a magician might," he admitted, "but a gentleman never could." Susanna Clarke Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell

Yes Welcome to Dakka!

Adam's Motto: Paint, Create, Play, but above all, have fun. -and for something silly below-
"We are the Ultramodrines, And We Shall Fear No Trolls. bear this USR with pride".
Also, how does one apply to be a member of the Ultramodrines? Are harsh trials involved, ones that would test my faith as a wargamer and resolve as a geek?
You must recite every rule of Dakka Dakka. BACKWARDS.
