Hello Everyone!

My name is Mario, I am 24, and I have been in the U.S. Army for 7 years.

I have been playing 40K off and on since the fall of 2001. My teacher started a gaming club when I was in 7th grade and have fallen in love with 40K from the first day. The first Army I ever played was the teachers IG army. I instantly fell in love with everything from the Tabletop Game to the Fluff!

The first Army I ever personally owned was a BA Army. I loved the fluff behind the BA but I was not a fan of rolling for the Black Rage and losing half my Army if I didn't have a DC model to switch it out. Due to being a teenager at the time with limited funds I never got to play as much as I wanted either. Now that I a little older, have a full time job, and don't have to ask to go to my local game store I can play more. It has been hard with deployments, but I am stoked about getting back into the Hobby! I have a Deamonhunters Army around a 1,000 points that has never gotten past being primed, but i hear they are awesome to play these days so I may have to try them out again!

I have every Dawn of War Game, as well as the new Space Marine Game! I am looking forward to Dark Millenium coming out and I am in the process of putting a Heavy Mech IG Army together. Don't get me wrong, I still love Space Marinces, but the appeal of the common man fighting off the hordes of chaos, xenos, better technology, and psykers with nothing but a flashlight and a tank is awesome to me!

I have also looked into playing Warmachine and Battlefleet Gothic lately so if anyone has some input on these games please feel free to share your wisdom with me!

I look forward to making more friends among the wargaming community! If you ever wanna chat or get to know me just hit me up with a message!

Hi,

Welcome to Dakka! Always good to hear people coming back to the hobby. And yes, the idea behind the Imperial Guard is awesome, part of the reason why I want to start IG one day.
