Jumped the gun a little it would seem. That's what I get for lurking.

Anyway, DogOfWar is me. Nothing special there, just thought it would sound cool. 'Dog' works and so does 'DoW' for short but I'm not picky so feel free to address me as you see fit. Nothing rude though, I have feelings wot can be 'urt lotz.

Moving on.

I'm originally a Brit but I'm in the USA now so please forgive me if I mish-mash lingo from both cultures and sound like I'm taking the p*ss. Believe me, I'm not doing it intentionally!

I used to play IG back in the day and I'm only just getting around to painting up some lads to give 5th edition a try. Valkyries make me excited in a way only my wife used to be able to (kidding of course, I'm not married...) so I'm working feverishly to get a viable force together. I'm a bit of a perfectionist so coupling that with limited painting skills and an abject hatred of proxies, actually PLAYING a game might be a ways away. This being said, nothing wrong with pretending I know what I'm talking about and disagreeing with people with far more experience, right? Excellent.

That's about it, really. Oh I also like piña coladas and long walks on the beach. My sign is Pisces (or Aquarius, depending on the website). I am also male, if it wasn't clear. This being said, I think 'B*tchOfWar' would be a rather outstanding name as well...

Right, I'm off.

What the hell's pina caloda?

Thank you all for the warm welcome!

@Emperors Faithful - Hell yeah. We'll show these heretics/xenos/mutants the light of the throne, eh chap? And failing that, we'll field 3 vendettas in their FACE!

@WaterboyBHS - Thanks! I played every version of Fallout and always loved the 50's retro styling coupled with the grimdark (where have I heard that before...?) presentation of the post-apocalyptic world. When I first turned on Fallout 3 for the ps3 it was just so ridiculously amazing... words fail me! Now if only they'd hurry up and release the expansions for Sony!

@Deadratman - A Piña Colada is a type of drink. It's usually pinkish or yellowish and has girly things like umbrellas and fruit wedges and that sort of nonsense. It's partly an homage to the Jimmy Buffet song and a joke regarding cheesy personals ads. I wouldn't worry, though, the joke really wasn't that funny. This is somewhat of a trend with me, as you will no doubt soon discover!

Alcohal?

Oi! Wots dis! More 'Umies!?!?!?

Welcome To Dah Madhouse!

Alcohal?

Undoubtedly!

Though my preference is a nicely mixed Long Island, or a good ol' Rum and Coke. Piña Coladas are pretty girly unless you're sitting on a beach in the Caribbean. Even then...

Hello and welcome. I haven't had a long island iced in ten years.
