Well hi everyone!
I've actually never played 40k in the past like I've read some of you have. But a lot of people at the game shop I go to play... so I suppose that's how I got into it. I was looking up 40k models on the GW website and found that Eldar were the most aesthetically pleasing to me. Being a fantasy nerd, the whole "Space-Elves" sorta thing caught my eye. I read about them a bit and borrowed the codex from one of my friends and read up on their history.
So far I have 10 DAs almost completely painted (just touching up some stuff... so pics soon). Still working on a good army list to eventually own and paint.
But I'm excited to learn more stuff and get input from other players (who I'm sure are better than me right now  ) and eventually be able to give advice to other peeps too.

Welcome.
I started with Eldar as well. Being wholly immersed in the fluff I always tried to keep everyone alive. And consequently everyone always died. Horribly.
Eventually I learned that like chess, in 40K one exchanges peices with one's opponent, to a certain extent. Expect to loose a lot of your little men at first. Eventually, the tide will turn.
