Hi everybody!

I have never actually played a table top war game before (unless you cout Risk) but I became a bit addicted to the idea of war gaming as it sounds like a lot of fun! It all began when i saw some 40k artwork online (it was on this very website too, imagine that!) that I thought looked awesome, I found out that it wasn't just cool artwork but there were models and a game attached too. I started researching 40k and came across this website again and noticed that there were quite a few other games as well, each with even more awesome models and artwork. I decided I wanted to get into the hobby as it looked like fun, I then saw the price tags and found out how expensive this hobby can be. The prices didn't deter me, all that means is that it might take a bit longer for me to have a playable army and I am fine with that.

There is one thing that bothers me though, I don't want to start building an army only to find out that no one plays that system in my area or that I happened to choose the army that everyone else already plays because its no fun not having any opponents or seeing the same thing every game.

Well, I kind of just started rambling there (sorry about that), but I was hoping that Dakka might be able to help me with my situation as well as give me a warm welcome to the forums.
