I’m getting medically retired out of the Army I’ve always wanted to play 40K but never found the time I’m interested in starting with Necrons I have my own house and am willing to let players utilize my double car garage for gaming in exchange for teaching me how to play and also the networking would be really good for me as well to meet new people interested in the same thing I am I’m about 20min from Pensacola FL I can be reached at <phone number removed> my name is craig

Hi Craig,

Welcome to Dakka

Hi, Craig! Welcome to Dakka and 40k as a hobby! If you're looking to start out playing Necrons I would suggest that either/both the Forgebane boxed set and the Start Collecting: Necrons box sets are excellent places to start. Forge bane is a little pricier but comes with two armies and a booklet that explains the basic rules and should hopefully get you started playing a little easier. As far as community goes, I would maybe seek out if there are any local gaming stores nearby (I think the GW website might have a resource that lists thier stockists, but this might have been removed) and if you can find one, inquire about the local gaming scene. As for hobby/gaming advice, Dakka has a pretty nice set of subforums for both, and If you feel so inclined I would also encourage you to think about setting up a painting/modeling blog. These can be a great way of seeking out feedback and charting your progress. Hope that helps you out.
Cheers,

Yeah man. Dakka has lots of good people. My advice is take it slow. Look. Read. Watch. Listen. Buy a few things. Paint a bit if you can. And repeat.

Ahoy and welcome mate!
