Why'd I not pay more attention and notice this thread before now?

 

Name: Jono

Age: Autumn of '82

Country/State: Sunny QLD, Australia

Occupation: McManager, 15 yrs service

Time spent in hobby: '94, Codex: Angels of Death

Armies collected: Dark Angels, always Dark Angels, in its prime there was a fully supported Battle Company, but alas 8 house moves and its mostly AWOL. But besides that, EVERYTHING 40K. I've at least one squad or hero from each race/faction, typically much more than that.

Make your mark: I'm sure I'm not the only one, I'm seriously waiting for GW to update they're IG line with plastics for some of they're other regiments. Primarily, Mordian Iron Guard. I couldn't afford an army of them in metal then, and I can't afford one now. But in plastic? I'd go bat :ph34r: crazy for them, I'd be all over them like a kid in a candy store.

 

Cheers,

Jono

Occupation: U.S Army Ranger(retired)

[Brother Anders]

Name: Brother Anders

Country/State: USA, Pennsylvania,

Occupation: Life guarding, sometimes it's boring, but the view can be great :lol:

Time spent in hobby: About 2 Months I believe, My cousin and a friend got me into it.

Armies collected: A 1845 point Dark Angels army, with only one troop............. Need to get another Tac squad..... Also plannig to make a small Fallen force with the new starter set

Make your mark: I originality was gonna go Ultrasmurfs, but they didn't have enough flare for me, so when I saw a Dark Green Chapter based on Knights who were obsessed with swords and Plasma, I couldn't resist. And El'Johnson reminds me of myself in some ways, I could relate to him. I'm pumped for 6'th edition and can't wait for a new 'dex (ours does sorta suck, but I don't mind) I'm usually not very active on forums, but I plan on contributing a lot here. Until the sword is Reforged,

 

Brother Anders, 5th Company

Occupation: Fighter Avionic Systems Technician

Time spent in hobby: 1.5yrs

Make your mark: Got into the hobby while I was in England, most of my stuff I ended up getting for dirt dirt cheap on ebay or second hand from people quitting. I started DA on a whim because I'm a lore junkie at times and the DA lore is something I greatly enjoy, and they are an army I've never seen anyone play so it's something new for me to learn and enjoy.

Occupation: Student/Janitor

Armies collected: Sisters of Battle, Dark Angels

Make your mark: My primary army will always be my Sisters, but I have a wicked soft spot for the Dark Angels. They remind me of Batman, haha. I started collecting Dark Angels around April of this year, and got pretty stoked when I saw the White Dwarf spines starting to match up to an Azrael picture. My Sisters are complete, (until the plastics get released), so now I'm focusing 100% on completing my Dark Angels. Thanks for having me, brothers.

Age: 25.

Country/State: UK - England.

Occupation: British Army - Mechanic.

Time spent in hobby: started this month (again) began several years ago.

Armies collected: Dark Angels (contemplating second army)

Make your mark: was introduced to GW WH40K when i was about 12 was shown a rhino and a dreadnought of the Ultramarines, didnt really take to it but when i was 14 and 17 the hobby started to creep up again until i finally started collecting at 19 had a decent size SM army and a 2500 IG army but joining the army left no time so i had to leave the hobby behind (no models were hurt at this time, all models were donated to a good home - a lucky cousin i might add). With the release of Dark Vengence i jumped back in as i am a fan of the Dark Angels, in the past month alone i have gained a considerable sized army of my own (as soon as i have painted pics will be up) oh and started converting my own Belial he will be the nuts btw!

[bluepillredpill]

Name: Bluepillredpill (my online ID where ever I may appear)

Age: 34

Country/State: Scotland, UK

Occupation: Business Analyst

Time spent in hobby: just returning via Dark Vengeance after a 18 year absence

[Asmodai's Joy]

Name: Asmodai's Joy

Age: 31

Country/State: The State of Confusion a.k.a. Ohio

Occupation: Student

Time spent in hobby: First started trying to break in around the end of fourth ed., but for numerous reasons (not the least of which being the arrival of 5th ed. amoung them) largely gave up on the idea. I have returned, however, with a vengeance.

Armies collected: Armies Attempted back When: Dark Angels, Dark Eldar. Armies under construction now: Deathwing Company, 1850 pts.

Make your mark: I have been a wargamer all my life. At the age of three and a half my father had me playing book games that simulated world war one dogfighting, by the arrival of the NES I had roughly a dozen strategy games under my belt, and the tradition continues still, nearly three decades later. I love the fluff attached to the Dark Angels, and that was why they were my first army. I was greatly saddened when the current codex dropped and they took away Asmodai, who, as my name implies, is my favorite character of our great Chapter. My original character (an interrogator chaplain, of course) has the bulk of his fluff attached to him, culminating in him becoming Asmodai's Protoge' and Confidante, hence the name "Asmodai's Joy". I greatly look forward to his return in the forthcoming codex. Anything else about me, feel free to ask.

[Avon Rekaes]

Name: Avon Rekaes

Age: 29

Country/State: Florida

Occupation: Investment Banking

Time spent in hobby: 13 Years

Armies collected: Currently; Dark Angels. Previously; vanilla marines. Possible future; Necrons

Make your mark: Started with 3rd edition back in high school, but I just didn't have the setup to continue playing. I made up my own chapter of marines called the Gemini Blades, who were all supposed to be identical twins. When I decided I actually had the disposable income to get back into the hobby, I decided to go with Dark Angels because they had such a rich history and detailed heraldry. Plus is nice to take a break from one paint scheme and move onto another without having to divide your attention between multiple armies.
