Hey everyone, I've been checking out Dakka for a while now and figured I'd actually start posting

I only got into 40k last year, when we started coming to CastleHill Games. The last owner of CastleHill had to get out of the business suddenly for personal reasons, and my bosses and I decided to take it on as a side business. Anyway, long story short, I'm now the store's full-time manager, and I couldn't be happier sitting in a room filled with minis and paint and cards and dice all day, lol.

I've only ever played a couple games of 40k, but I occupy myself with assembing and painting everything I can get my hands on. Here's my collection so far:

Around 10,000 - 12,000 points of Ultramarines (yeah, smurfs, I know, I know, I'm very sorry)
1000 or so points of Tyranids
2000-ish points of Necrons
Batteforces for Orks and Tau

I've also recently gotten into Fantasy, and with the help of some friends' generous contributions have amassed around 8,000 points of Ogres. We just finished up a league (my first time ever playing Fantasy) during which I actually managed to win a game, once I figured out what the heck I was doing.

Anyway, if you're in the Southern Oregon area, check us out (Castlehillgames.com) and hit me up for a game or two. (Oh yeah, I'm Matt...nice to meet you ) I absolutely love Dakka, you guys shame m with your conversions and paintjobs, but I'm always amazed at how nice everyone is here. Its nice to know I won't be ridiculed if I ever get around to painting something nice enough to post here

Anyway, back to painting Necrons ><

Welcome to Dakka!

Welcome to dak dak¡¿¡¿¡¿¡¿¡¿¡¿¡¿¡¿¡¿¡¿¡¿¡¿

Hehe, thanks guys. I'm busting ass painting (Necrons at the moment, spray black, brush boltgun, wash black, highlight, done, hehehe I'm so lazy) and then I'm moving on to my marines. I might set them up and snap a couple pics tonight, even though a decent number of them are half done or still black.

Welcome to Dakka Dakka

Welcome to Dakka!

Hey everyone! Thanks for all the greetings

Set out all the stuff I have here and snapped a couple pics...roughly 8000 points here (the rest is either at the store or with friends.)

As a bonus, I've included a picture of my Ogre Kingdoms Slavegiant. He swings a cow, which is important in keeping my outlook positive even when I lose, which is often.











And before your jealousy gets the best of you, yes, that IS INDEED a mini Hello Kitty water cooler. Lol.

Haha, I've only been here about a year and a half, but I love it! If you come down to visit, make sure to stop by... it'd be cool to meet people from Dakka, lol. I'll definately have to bug you for a game when I'm up in Portland.

What ho!
