Heya folks! I've been a member for a while now, and actually traded for my first army a while ago via the swap shop (ultramarines of course!), but I never took the time to introduce myself for some reason... Anyways, hello fellow dakkites, and thanks for helping me ease myself into this seemingly intricate hobby! I'm in the process of repainting my ultramarines to more badass (in my opinion) salamanders color scheme, but once I'm done in a month or so, if any members in the Portland, OR area feel like stomping a newbie then feel free to hit me up!!

oh dear again more smurf marines.. Besides the funny note welcome to both the hoby and dakka!

I'm also in the process of gathering up an ork army too because everyone I face gives me a facepalm when I say I'm playing marines... Plus orks are friggin hilarious! I just figure the marines will be easiest to work with for getting a grasp on the rules quickest. Plus I got an awesome deal on them!
