<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Hello from Northwest England"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/65.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Hello from Northwest England 40k after a long hiatus.

Thinking about my history with table top gaming it must have started in the mid 90's before I even hit my teens. I collected Blood Angels primarily, although from the models I've dug out there's also Eldar and a few Orks (do Boar Boyz still have rules?)

At some point I changed over to WHFB and between me and my brother had reasonable numbers of Empire and High Elves models (with a few Brettonian, Lizardmen and Dogs of War in there).

I think my brother must have bought the LOTR models, because there are a few of them lay around as well, I don't remember ever collecting them.

I'm not sure what drew me back in, but I suppose I always maintained a passing interest in 40k. Back in June I decided to buy some Imperial Guard from EBay, and quickly decided I wanted to expand to the other Imperial forces I never got as a kid. My goal has now become to create a large Imperial force, although for now I'll be leaving Space Marines alone.

Happy wargaming all!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/741899/9645642.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/741899/9645642.page GMT Hello from Northwest England

For what they're worth, my 90's 40k minis are pretty much scrap. I could probably piece together a handful of usable models from what must have cost hundreds back then.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/741899/9645701.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/741899/9645701.page GMT Re:Hello from Northwest England

If south Manchester...

There’s a pretty good 40k venue in Stockport called Element Games, or the north west gaming centre. They put on 1 and 2 day tournaments which are well run, and you can usually get a game there.

I live inAltrincham and there’s a gaming club on Tuesday nights here. Easy walk from the tram stop.

If you want you can PM me your number I can get you added to a 40k WhatsApp group as well. It’s not amazing but there are a few people who are fairly often looking for a game.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/741899/9777753.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/741899/9777753.page GMT
