Oetjens316: Hey all I'm Craig and I've been playing 40k for about 2 years. I'm married with 3 dogs and work as a physical therapist. Right now I can only make it to the Wednesday night games because I work 6 days a week. Hopefully that will change soon and I can start making the weekend tournaments and Sunday's at Wanderers.
I play Nids. Looking forward to a new Codex soon.

Hey guys, I just stumbled upon this thread, so figured I'd go ahead and add myself to it.
Name: Dave Glick Age: 34 (for another month) From: Columbus, IN (NOT Ohio. Go Hoosiers!)
So, my history with Warhammer and GW is long and sorted. I got into Warhammer Fantasy back around '94 ish after getting introduced to it through my friends, picked up the starter kit (back then, High Elves and Goblins) and then played through the end of High School. Right at the tail end of that, I decided to give 40k a try after having read about it for years in White Dwarf. So, got the starter kit for 40k which was Space Marines (dont remember which chapter) and Dark Eldar (this was right when D.E. was released). Got all my models put together for 40k and then subsequently put them in a box and they never saw daylight again until 2015 (this goes for my High Elves as well). Fast forward to Spring of 2015 when I told a buddy about WHFB and he expressed an interest to give it a shot. So, got all my stuff out of my parents house (which made my mom particularly happy) and got the most recent rule book for WHFB. Both of us ended up getting into the game (he: Warriors of Chaos army; myself sticking with High Elves and building up Skaven as a second army) and we enjoyed WHFB for about 3 games before GW killed it off. So, seeing my lonely space marines, we decided to give 40k (a non-dead game) a shot and fell in head first to the hobby, liking 40k more than WHFB. Now, both my buddy and I have about 3,000 points respectively. (He Dark Angels, which do not blow themselves up, unfortunately) and me, Ultramarines. Very happy to find this group and maybe, just maybe, play an army that isn't Dark Angels.
As for other pertinent facts, I work for a Japanese company selling steel to the US Railroad industry and travel quite a bit, including to Japan. Other hobbies include claiming to still play guitar, drinking and getting yelled at by my fiance for drinking and never playing guitar like I promised to on our first date. Oh, that and spending way too much money on GW related plastic toys (which my fiance also yells at me about).
Anyway, that's it about me. I'm really looking forward to meeting you folks and hopefully becoming a regular!

Hello, I'm new.
Name - Doug Chrystall Age - 31 From - South Africa, then New Zealand, then Australia, then Chicago...
Just bought my first pack of minis and I have been having a blast putting them together, although I lost a bit of my thumb, my blood for the Emperor! I live in Irving Park, quite close to Wanderers, and that's how I found out about this group. I work in real estate as a broker
Looking forward to creating a space marine chapter, making some terrain and getting stuck in to the hobby!
I've read through a few of the posts, and I haven't seen anything on painting/modelling. Does anyone do it in a group, or at a store?

I've read through a few of the posts, and I haven't seen anything on painting/modelling. Does anyone do it in a group, or at a store? Welcome to the group and to the hobby! Happy to have you here. Wanderer's is a great shop, this group usually tries to meet there once a month. More frequently, we play at the Dice Dojo in Uptown/Buena Park every Wednesday evening. It's at the corner of Broadway and Bryn Mawr. We're lucky to have both of these shops so we try to support them however possible! Admittedly, painting/modeling is not normally done as a group, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have to be! Most people kind of have their own setup at their homes and do it at their own pace, etc which varies a lot. However, both stores above would certainly welcome you to do it under their roofs if you wanted/needed to. On this site there are sub-boards, the most common is the ScheduleHammer board where threads about meet-ups are always made. There is also a painting/modeling sub-board where people post their hobby progress, miniatures, works in progress, etc Have fun!

Hello, I'm new to the group, new to 40k.
Name: Geoff Lloyd From: Chicago suburbs, living in Chicago since 2011. I'm 26.
I've always had a thing for assembling/painting military miniatures, and my friend recently got me to consider Warhammer. I started up in Oct 2015 and I've got 1000+ pt of Tau ready to go. I would love to get a real game going as long as no one minds my nose stuck in the rulebook half the game.
Otherwise, I'm a GIS Specialist for Skokie and Morton Grove (I make village maps and manage their asset data like utilities). Married for two years. My steam name is solidgeoff, and I play a lot of strategy, Fallout 4, but have been really into Rocket league the last two weeks.
Looking forward to sinking my teeth into some battles. See you soon!
