Hi everyone, I'm from central washington. This will be my second time I have collected 40K models. The last time I tried to jump into this world was in 2002 and I was much younger and lacked the proper funds to really get in. So now that I'm married, kids, a mortgage...I'm giving it another try. Due to a lack of hobby places in town after hastings shutdown, I may have never gotten into it. But the guy that works for me has been reading all the lore for the last 3 months and just spouted out that we should all play 40K. And being very familiar with the models I decided hell why not! And I will be the first one to admit that the part I am enjoying the most is making scenery. I have pre ordered the Dice, and books. And I bought 1500 points worth of Dark Eldar. now going through the slow (but getting faster) process of assembly/painting. i was fearful that my wife would be upset when she saw the amount I have spent on these...but I sold some things from another project to cover it...and really trying to not spend every waking moment in my office painting LOL. I have already learned the tough lesson of not using cheap primer. And after borrowing a can of Citadel Chaos Black primer I will never go back. Granted they don't look bad from arms length but every time I look at them under the desk lamp with the magnifier i cringe a little.

I'm ready for hours of fun!

Welcome to the hobby! I laughed so hard when you said you had nonfunds as a kid and the said you were gonna try again with wife, kids and mortgage.
I'm sure you will enjoy the whole process and with 8th edition dropping this weekend its the perfect time to get in. I read those Dark eldar open topped vehicles are spectacular now!
