Guardsman with Flashlight




Somewhere in the Calixis Sector

So, umm... Hi there. I suppose I'll start with the wargaming interests, seeing how everyone else does something similar...

To be honest, I don't really play all that many tabletop games. They're just too expensive for me to invest in, and I'm not a very good painter either, so even if I did I'd probably just leave them grey rather than have them look like they're being slowly melted in the fires of the Soul Forge. I much prefer the roleplaying games, especially Fantasy Flight's 40k RPG series. I'm currently midway through a Dark Heresy 2 campaign, with an interesting bunch of characters, and even though I'm not very well versed with the lore of 40k we still have a good deal of fun. There's a pair of psykers, a genetor-in-training and her fellow artisan-in-training, a very strong pariah who may or may not be a Culexus, a sister of battle who happens to be a pyromaniac, and a few Guardsmen who happened to be in the wrong place at the right time. I might share some of the tales behind these guys at a later date, if I get pestered enough.

The tabletop I do play is usually with my friend's necrons. They're easy enough to play and they aren't Space Marines, at least. I wanted to get used to a more middling army, and the colour scheme is cool too. I like the silvery-grey finish and contrasting green highlights. My brother prefers Tau and we constantly argue over which is better. To be fair, the Tau have pretty kickass battlesuits, especially the XV10- series.

And that's about it, I think. I hope I'm welcome here!

"At the end of the day, though he's been ferried through hell on a ship that's ten thousand years old to some godforsaken, war-torn rock; though he deployed from high orbit with nothing but a grav chute; though he is one of ten million men and women snatched from his homeworld to fight a war he barely understands; though he has been given a weapon that fires small suns and may annihilate him as he fires because the knowledge of how it functions has been lost; though his company is supported by tractor-tanks that run on anything you can burn; though he wages war against a devouring hivemind, ravenous demons and hordes of hyper-advanced aliens with strange technologies and sorceries he never dreamed existed; no one will remember his sacrifice, there will be no records of his deeds, no glorious parades in his honor, and no remembrance of his name. All he will earn is a shallow, unmarked grave on a forgotten world untold lightyears from home.

"Yet for all this thankless sacrifice a Guardsman is a man, just like you. He has no millennia-old genetic engineering, no prophetic leader, no miracles of faith. He has his lasgun, his orders, and those beside him. He is the Imperial Guard.

"And he will hold the line." - /tg/, in the most truthful rendition of what it means to be an Imperial Guardsman.

Hi. Welcome to Dakka. Sounds like a fun group

TheEyeOfNight- I swear, this thread is 70% smack talk, 20% RP organization, and 10% butt jokes
TheEyeOfNight- "Ordo Xenos reports that the Necrons have attained democracy, kamikaze tendencies, and nuclear fission. It's all tits up, sir."
Space Marine flyers are shaped for the greatest possible air resistance so that the air may never defeat the SPACE MARINES!
Sternguard though, those guys are all about kicking ass. They'd chew bubble gum as well, but bubble gum is heretical. Only tau chew gum
