Yet another Newbie reporting.
Name: Jesse Age: 26 From: Maryland, now Ravenswood
I started playing Fantasy about fifteen/sixteen years ago during Fifth edition. I just couldn't stay away from those Lizardmen, especially since this was back when the Slann could eat a unit in hand-to-hand. A couple of years later, I started up an Eldar 40k army in Third edition, playing a super cheesy Biel-Tan army with three Wraithlords (please don't judge). But while Fantasy and 40k were the main games, I fell in love with Mordheim and Battlefleet Gothic (the former of which I'm itching to play). About nine years ago I fell out of playing when I went to college, but I've been wanting to get back into it recently, so I've bought a bunch of Sisters of Battle (an army I've always wanted to play) and been painting them up like crazy.
I only have about a thousand points painted, and another five or six hundred waiting to be primed. Hopefully I'll see you all soon.

And on the 10th day, God promised to totally make it out for a game, but had to cancel last minute because his girlfriend had made plans for them already and he didn't know about it yet.

Did you just call yourself God? And then imply that you don't know something? #heresy #inthegrimdarknessofthefarfuturethereareonlymetaphors

Ok, since this seems to be the portion of the forum for players to introduce themselves I will take a crack on it Name: Dennis Hohne Age: 30 From: 1st. Berlin-Germany; Then Cincinnati-Ohio, Now Evanston-Illinois 40k Army: Imperial Guard/Astramiliwhatever; Inquisition; Dark-Angels; Imperial Knights I started playing Warhammer 40k during 3rd edition when I was like 12 years old. Got into the hobby by playing SpaceQuest: "GW's mainstream SpaceHulk game with 3 marine players and one player controlling Chaos, Orks & early Crons"...lol. And that was the shitty German localized version where no models would die, but teleport away when killed, or Assault-cannons were called "Zero-time cannons" that would freeze time...You know, Germany with it's crazy anti-violence laws in games, entertainment and television. Anyway, had my 12th birthday, told my dad to bring me home some god-dang Space Marines & he came back with Imperial Guard, because they looked cooler in his point of view... I was mad as hell. Fast forward to today,... been collecting Imperial Guard since late 3rd edition, took a break during 4th (hated the system), got very active during 5th with 5th edition leaf-blower Imperial Guard Awesome Codex. Took another break during 6th, and now back in it fully fledged with 7th (Best Edition in my point of view so far). I also had a very sizable Warhammer Fantasy Empire army worth 5000pts, but Fantasy got killed in my local meta in Germany + Ohio...so sadly I got rid of them. Kinda regretting the decision. Also, playing some online PC games such as WoT, or Armored Warfare. Love playing soccer, staying active & work as a Video Producer at a large military supply company.

Hey Dennis, welcome!
So, do you still miss having Space Marines, or are you now happy that your dad got you the IG/AM ??

Hey Dennis, welcome! So, do you still miss having Space Marines, or are you now happy that your dad got you the IG/AM ?? Hahaha, that is a great question! I guess, obviously, I took a liking to IG/AM, otherwise I would have never collected the amount I got now I really like the idea of being the lonely little dude, with a heart of steel, in a world of Monsters, Mutants, Abominations and Power Armor wearing Superhumans & still somehow be able to survive, or make a difference. However, I would LOVE to start a Space Marine army, less models, less turn length, less things to remember, less sub-phases etc... and the newer models are just so crazy badass, it's very hard to resist. Back then I loved the old Wirewind Artytank and the old Predator, still love them today & would love to field those over the newer looking ones.
