Sort of.
Hi all. Hope you are all well.
I am a 41 year old married man with a dog, cats, nearly 3 year old lad and another child in the oven as I type. Exciting times ahead. Back in the very late 80s and early 90s I used to frequent the local Games Workshop in Derby where I made some great friends and had some very fun times playing the large variety of games back then. I had most of them in some for or another. I used to play
WH40k quite a lot and as I got older I found girls (
) pubs and beer to boot. Anyway. After reading last year about Blood Bowl having been re-released I thought I would take a look and after a little research I found myself wanting to get it. I have now the permission of the wife to take the plunge and give it a blast.
Fast forward to the other day I went into my Derby
GW again after 20+ years of not going even down the street it is on. I had the intention of having a look at the Blood Bowl game but they don't stock it. It can be ordered in or I can get it online. So after a chat about what's in the game and what's not in it anymore I decided to go ahead and take the plunge, but not until payday which is a week away. I can wait. Anyway, Steve, the man in the shop talked to me about the old days and the new
40k edition. I was interested.
We had a little demo move and shoot on the table that was already laid out and I quite liked it, seems a little more streamlined than the 2nd edition I played before. Faster paced and a little more simpler. He went through the box sets they have, from the very simple starter pack to the bigger 2 small army one. I was very tempted on that too. I had a chat with the wife and she just said, "you never treat yourself so why not" and "are you up to painting them?" I have not painted anything since the early 90s. So this will be fun. I know of the Youtube videos I can watch and so on, so there is an abundance of tutorials out there to 'brush' up on my skillz.
See what I did there
Anyway, I hope to be active on here as soon I will purchasing BB and
WH40k next month. I will be posting in another thread regarding help and a little advice so.... see you all there.
Regards C
