Hello all, my name is Tommy I'm 25 and I live in London.

To cut a long story short i started to play in middle school, in high school i got kinda brain washed by it and found a teacher in my school who was also into playing warhammer so we started a club went to 3 school leagues whilst in school.
After i left school work came first i quit playing for 3 years due to a game some of you might know World of Warcraft.
And now in my current job i found out that a few people play warhammer. I also got my partner into warhammer, she rather paints than plays but i'm working on that bit And i've also got a work mate into warhammer also.

So my history of what i've done in warhammer.

Middle school - I started of first with Space marines Only a little army few tac squads a whirlwind two rhinos one term squad a chaplain a scout squad and a group of assault marines.

High school - My teacher introduced me to Fantasy and i just fell in love with it and to this day i love it. So i sold all my marines i had to my brother and then used the money to buy my fantasy army.
Which was Orcs and Goblins - i have about 20,000 points of them i think.

I then met my partner and moved in with her, so i was going through my stuff to pack and move and we came across warhammer she was interested in it and then i got her hooked, so out it came again!
I took her to GW and she fell in love with Tomb Kings. - I think she has 8,000 points
I then started Bretonnians - Only 4000 points of them sadly.
My partner then wanted another army, so she got Lizardmen - I think she has only 3,000 points
Then i started to collect Vampire Counts - I have 12,000 points.
My brother started again and got Warriors of Chaos - 5,000 points then a year and a half later he sold it to me.

I got my work mate into it six months ago i took him to GW and he flipped a coin over dwarfs and wood elves and he ended up with wood elves which he was over the moon about. - He only has like 1000 points at the moment.
Two months ago me, my partner and my work mate went and booked a table for a few hours at GW played a lot of fantasy mini games, my work mate and partner wanted to try out 40k to see how that was like so our GW manager started to teach all 3 of us how to play 40k and we are now hooked on 40k.
I have Space Marines, my partner has Orks and my work mate has Chaos space marines.

Also in my spare time i play world of warcraft.

Thanks for taking your time for reading my long post hope to see some of you around the forum!
