Hello All! I've been a lurker for a bit, but I suppose its time for a post. I am an older gamer (40) that can remember 40K in its infancy when we went off to college and first got exposed to the hobby. Back then I didn't have the money to buy anything of my own, but friends would loan me stuff. (my firends got those high interest rate CCs in college and went to town) I didn't last in college long and joined the Army. Well, those early years I still didn't have any money to buy into the hobby, but I knew the day would come eventually. Finally I got my first army, Dark Eldar when the 3rd Edition came out. What a terrible army for a beginner to learn with. Awesome miniatures and fun painting, but not for the beginner. So, many moons later, I now sit with so many 40K armies and WHFB armies that I am embarassed to say. Not to mention all the FW stuff. I am a full blown addict. I enjoy the modelling as much or more so than the game play. That's the primary reason that 40K held my interest long enough to get in when I finally had the extra $$$ to spend. Still in the Army, in my 22d year, and still a gamer/hobbyist. It's not for everyone, but it's been great for me.

I am currently working on a Khornate "scuttling horde" army that has 3 Defilers with Champions of Khorne as riders, 3 Blood Slaughterers of Khorne, a Brass Scorpion of Khorne and 30 Termies among other Khorne items. Yes, this is an Apocalypse/'Ardboyz army, although I think I will use the Blood Slaughterers in my normal list with 2 Defilers as HS just to see what happens. Once I get them complete, I hope to post the pics on Dakka. Blood for the Blood God!

Welcome to dak dak¡ Thats why this hobby has coined the term plastic crack. BTW watch out for Alpharius he might do something not sure what!

Hey
Welcome to Dakka!

The plan is to get 'em while they're young and keep them interested for life!! (",)

I feel your pain about the quids business,
I took an entire year of saving and buying bits and pieces before I could field
my first army...

It is never me, it is Omegon...

Anyway - welcome!
