Welcome! I am a newbie as well! I have not had a chance to play any games yet, but looking forward to getting into the hobby and making Chicago friends as well!
I wanted to get into Tau at one point myself (years ago), but Tyranids won my heart. Especially with the new codex.

Welcome, ryandavid ! You still have any minis left from your past life? I'm sure we can put together a small force to learn you the new edition. It's a great time to be getting back in this hobby, so hopefully we can make it fun for you!

Haha you guys are funny Wait, sorry I just read Orks. There are some Ork players skulking around. Got any links to some of your tunes? Yea do you like metal? I have a feeling that a 40k player who doesn't like some form of metal is a bit of an oxymoron. I’ve got access to some pretty bitchin’ Kenny G deep cuts. That shit will melt your face off like boiling hot liquid velvet.

Hiya! Thanks to Jared for introducing me to this board. My name is Josh, I'm new to the Chicago area and am excited to continue playing 40k here. I've playing since the start of 5th edition, I have about 5000 points worth of orks, and am currently working on 2000 points of necrons.
I don't generally play competitively, but feel free to hit me up for any late night or weekend games, new or old to the scene! Also, if you need a person to play/run a narrative campaign, they're an absolute blast for me.
And just because it's cliche: WAAAAGH!!

Hi all! I may have met some of you at the recent tournament at Dice Dojo tonight. I was the Ork player with the 200+ model horde.
Nice to meet you all! I started collecting last October and have been running a local group from my house with five other players but wanted to branch out and find more experienced competition as I foolishly signed up for the Adepticon Grand Tournament.
At any rate, hope to meet more of you with my green tide list, or for a silly game with my all-Grot list some time.

First game I got absolutely wrecked by four knights. I had never played them before and had no idea what to do.
Second game vs. Black Templars went favorably once my green tide was able to reach and chop up their tank line.
Third game vs. Guard was extremely close, but unfortunately we had to call it at turn two and my final scoring was just a few points shy.
It was a lot of fun though, I had never played anyone outside my home group, and at least all the fellows I met were really friendly. My home group only has a Tau, Chaos Marines, Thousand Sons, Ad Mec, Demons, and Deathguard, so I was really happy to play factions I had never faced myself.

Hello All!
My name is Jake. Big thanks to Jacob/kingwalnut for turning me onto the forum!
I'm 38, a sound engineer, and I've been in the Chicagoland area my entire life. I love most types of games, video or otherwise, so I'm down to play. I played a bunch of 5th and then fell off the map in 6th for lack of opponents. Skipped 7th edition entirely and i'm back for 8th! I've got a pretty good (3-4k?) space marine collection, and I'm looking to do some admech next. Also, Shadespire.
I live close to the Dojo, but I can travel out wherever the action is. My schedule can be erratic sometimes, but I'm going to try and get out there to meet you folks as much as possible. I look forward to seeing you guys across the table!
