[Rizara]

Name: Midnight Angel

Age: 28

Country/State: USA, Good Ole Georgia

Occupation: Satellite Installer

Time spent in the hobby: Started painting mini's around 95, but got into 40k/fantasy in 97, been an addict eversince, tho just really getting back into it after my online addiction for the last 3 years(dang those MMO's.....can't wait for a 40k one tho)

Armies Collected: Hmm....where to start. Back in second edition i had a sisters of battles army, dark angels(deathwing and regular company) and chaos(slaanesh), since then i have dabbled with just about every army out there, but my main armies since then have been sisters, Various marine chapters and DIY chapters, and Chaos, tho i have fielded full tau and eldar as well. My current armies that i am working on is Eldar and my DIY dark angels successors, Angels of Desolation.

Make your mark: Well i spent 2 years as an outrider and 1 year as a GW retail, i have won a few local painting contests and helped bring up the quality of painting in my local area, as i am more of a painter of late than player. I also won a GW staff contest back in the EOT campaign with an eldar farseer. I do however have a cruddy camera so i can never get good quality pics of anything. My hardest problem with collecting an army nowadays is i never end up painting official color schemes, always gotta make the army my own.

I went in and bought some paints and models, and I have been hooked ever since :devil:. I paint models for fun, showcase and sometimes for a competition. I enjoy painting competitions, and I have won some of them in my short hobby career :yes: The only 40k army I have ever played is of course the Dark Angels, but I will make a new one now that the new codex is out. I like the Dark ANgels because their history and fluff, their paint-scheme, and of course their sinister and dark appearance.

Time spent in hobby: probably 10 years, though only 5 years of gaming...

Armies collected: Dark Angels, Ultramarines, Tau and Necron

Make your mark: I started playing Ultramarines, but then I started reading Angels of Darkness and other Dark Angel related things, and I began to think that, this was the army for me, so I bought the codex (the old one), but never got started. But when the new codex was released, I just knew what I had to do: Get the army started... So that's what I did. I am building an army worth of 3500 pts. build up as Deathwing-Ravenwing army, which by the way might be the greatest new option in the Codex...

Hello all,

I've been reading this board for a few months now and decided to stop lurking and introduce myself. I'm a school teacher (and so have summers off). Each summer I collect, paint, and then play a new army and this summer I've decided to collect Dark Angels. Nearly all of my games I play at home - my two sons play Emperor's Children and Tau, and they are looking forward to fighting off some Ravenwing Attack Squadrons.

 

Out of my bits box I've managed to create 5 tactical squads, 1 Ravenwing attack squadron, 3 Deathwing Attack squads, and a Landraider Crusader. I've been making several army lists using the new codex (at my house we play games of 3000-4000 points) and haven't decided whether to do a Ravenwing heavy, Deathwing heavy, or Battle company list. My bits box gave me a huge start, so I have flexibility here.

 

Thanks for maintaining such a quality forum - I've enjoyed reading it for these past several months, and look forward to contributing my opinions from time to time.

 

For the Emperor!

Lieutenant Darling
