+++ Unforgiven but not Unknown +++

[Captain_Quirk]

Name: Captain_Quirk

Age: 27

Country/State: Terra Australis Incognita

Occupation: Sales

Time spent in hobby: No where near enough. Just starting again after a 10 year break, thanks to Dark Vengeance

Armies collected: Orks (some models), Tyranids (roughly 500pt) and now Dark Angels (Dark Vengeance).

Make your mark: For many years I walked in the darkness. My bolter and chainsword my only companions on that long road of perdition. Cast away by the tides of the Warp and unable to find my way, I dealt death to the Enemies of Man wherever I went. A terrible sin in my past there must have been, to face such an exile from my Battle Brothers, but what it was I cannot fathom. So I rode the currents of the Empyrean and took the Light, and Justice, and Cleansing Fire of the Emperor to the darkest voids of the Warp. Always I searched for forgiveness for my failure.

 

But at last, the curtain of the Warp parted before my ship, glittering, swirling, absences of sanity, coalesced about the prow. There stood the Rock. My home. My salvation. A great Inquisitor once wrote, "“Chaos claims the unwary or the incomplete. A true man may flinch away its embrace, if he is stalwart, and he girds his soul with the armour of contempt.” and that is how I survived my trials. I wept with joy as my Brothers welcomed me home.

 

I now am ready to tread a new path. Gone are my old sins, washed away by fire and honour in the Emperor's name. Replaced they are, with a heavier burden. The burden of the Unforgiven. I am ready to tread my new path, a greater path, for the good of my soul and my Chapter. The Path to Redemption.

Armies collected: Warhammer Fantasy: Orcs and Goblins, Warriors of Chaos. I still have a unit of the hunched warriors! 40K: Chaos.

Now to save up and get all the paints I need.

I feel bad cos I never filled out a form when I got to the Rock. I'll quickly type one out then report to cell 42 for re-education ;)

Armies collected: DA Successor (GOTC), some Orks and a bit of Chaos

Make your mark: Lured into the clutches of the 1st Legion by the grimdark canon, I had already painted too many marines to want to start all over again, so I went for a successor chapter instead! Currently working on trying to round out my army with options for Greenwing, Ravenwing and Deathwing.

 

Fun fact: I can navigate using astro-navigation. So if you are ever stuck in a rowing boat in the middle of the ocean with only a sextant and a star chart, I'm yer man! ;)

Thinking it was an RPG, I scooped up the only copy the FLGS had and took it home........and was confused. not about to be duped, I stormed into said game store and demanded my money back. I was not about to be tricked into playing a board game! the clerk, who still works there, took me over to the shelves where the Pieces were. My jaw dropped. I was indeed getting tricked into playing a board game.......And I have never looked back!

 

Yeah, it's been a long journey for me. I started playing the unforgiven since BEFORE they were unforgiven. back when they where black, had yellow eyes, and it was not uncommon to see the words "kil, kil, kil" on there Armour. I remember when the termies where black too, and had red and yellow checks on them. Oh, anyone else remember the space marine miniature with a shuriken catapult? yeah, I'm old school.
