Anyways, hiya, new member here.
I think it's been almost a decade since I first found a real interest in miniature tabletop, ah yes, I think my initial reaction went something like this:

"Whoa, how do those plastic guys get painted so well? I should buy a box! No wait, why the hell aren't mine painted? You mean I have to paint?!? Oh gak, I cant even draw a circle properly!"

Good times.

Needless to say, two weeks later I was staring into the blank expression of what I assumed was a high elf warrior and proceeded to unleash the basic painting skills I had by giving my high elf battalion the paint job it deserved, but not the one it needed.....and 8 years later I still cant get facial expressions right.
After a few months of mini warfare at my old school, Lord of the Rings suddenly became passe, and then all of my friends proceeded to start playing Magic he Gathering.
I was somewhat disappointed in myself after dropping Warhammer and LoTR miniatures as a result, and for a few years I just switched to tabletop RPGs and MTG with the guys.
But then that fateful day arrived when I picked up a new copy of Dawn of War II, and was really god-awful. But then I found the DoW 1 and the expansions, and it kicked the ass of many a strategy game. Shortly afterwards I threw my wallet at the nearest hobby shop that wasn't overpriced. Fast forward a years later and I find myself possessing several armies that I've only recently started fielding more often.

Currently I've got a Dark Angels army from which I almost always slog out a Deathwing assault, a Tau space weeb army I will only ever use when we have the long table out, some Eldar which I've only just gotten through painting half of, and a small mob of Orks which I never enjoy fielding, because no vehicles.

Overall, it's been a great experience in miniatures so far, and I hope it continues for a lot longer!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/639471/7660542.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/639471/7660542.page GMT I am KaptinBadrukk, da freeboota king. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/639471/7660791.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/639471/7660791.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/639471/7665550.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/639471/7665550.page GMT
