Newbie here; never played a competitive game before (living on the border of nowhere so there aren't many others with minis), but I've been collecting and painting (fantasy mostly) for ~10 years, give or take. Mostly from other manufacturers though. Just recently got IoB, since I really love the designs, and it gives me a solid base with two different armies I can check out. I've always loved reading the army books and everything as well, but haven't actually owned a rulebook until now.
But, now I have everything I need, and I'm starting to think it might be fun to learn how to actually play with the minis I've slaved over, whether or not I actually get out and do it
