Hello DakkaDakka,
I am new to Wargaming, though not necessarily to the setting of Warhammer 40,000. I've had a long history with the setting since I first played Dawn of War Retribution a long time ago. I've been getting into the actual tabletop game, though I'm definitely still a novice and learning everything. I tend to play casually with a few of my friends over TTS since I don't have anyone to play the game with IRL.
My favorite factions lorewise are Mechanicus, Orks, IG, and Drukhari.
I am still in the process of painting my first and only army IRL, which is a Chaos Space Marines army. I took the Dark Vengeance/DA Veterans boxes I had and decided to use all of the Space Marines and Chaos units as a single CSM army and fluffing them as a "My Dudes" renegade chapter, the Knights of Shadow, with their own backstory and so forth.
I also have occasionally been indulging in small homebrew designs with 40k such as cooperative survival missions and starting to write a narrative Crusade campaign setting, Subsector Ladon.
I am admittedly not the best creator/writer and I'm still very new to the game, but I'm hoping I'll fit in on these forums, be able to delve into the hobby a bit more, and hopefully contribute in some way to the community.
Cheers!
