Hi everyone!
I'm Oathius (or Austin in the real world), it's taken a couple of years of nagging but my fiancé has finally gave up and let me get some Warhammer 40k! I used to collect and paint Space Marines and Orks, and dwarves from Fantasy over a decade ago, just to paint as I've never known how to play, until now...

Yesterday I went to my local Games Workshop store and had my first ever games of Fantasy and 40k which were very fun, especially as my friend came along who is new to 40k and has started collecting tyranids. I also picked up an Ork Battleforce whilst I was there, along with some paints so that I can paint them Evil Sunz style. I'm also currently building an Ork defence tower/wall so I'll take some pictures to show you guys the progress and hopefully get some good tips

Being engaged, employed full time and having two small Boyz of my own does limit my time but I hope to build up this force over the next few months and hope to become a regular poster on the forum. I look forward to getting to know you all and having some fun on here, speak to you soon!
