Raven6826 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Hi all! So ... After a break of 18 odd years I'm returning to 40k. Anything new going on? (Joke...sarcasm). Seriously tho, I started with 1st edition and retired playing 2nd.. Never owned a codex i n my life... Now I have space marine 7th on the way in the mail. And am dusting off my paints. Been a collector rather than a player since retirement, have some of the "new scale" 40k figs and thought it might be fun to use em. So... I promise not to make fun of codex cooky cutter format and you chaps don't mention the grey in my beard? I'm 41... Eeeep, when did that happen? PS, I remember Jervis when his pimples were as prominent as john B's first beard!

Dosjetka Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Welcome to the B&C and back to the hobby! I find it funny to think that I was a wee nipper back when you stopped 40k. Time flies ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313995-old-duffer-returning/#findComment-4178068 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olis Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Welcome to the board, Raven. Don't mind Dos, even if he is a bit of cheeky young 'un. ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313995-old-duffer-returning/#findComment-4179496 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven6826 Posted September 24, 2015 Author Share Posted September 24, 2015 I tend to be forgiving of the young, thanks for the welcome. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313995-old-duffer-returning/#findComment-4179807 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrox Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Welcome Raven - plenty of us older chaps on here, who collect as much as game so you are in good company Where abouts are you from?

JeffTibbetts Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I too started with RT back in the day, and played up through maybe 3rd edition somewhere. I took a hiatus and came back around 5th edition, maybe. Hard to pin down the years. It's a fine hobby for us, and you'll find many of us older folks on the B&C. Lots of nostalgia, but there's a lot to be said about the quality of these new models and GW seems to go through reflective periods and update older stuff to our delight. Seems like lots of the older folks gravitate towards the 30K stuff, though.

Nice Yeah heresy is tempting - I've slowly started collecting 30k stuff over the last couple of years, don't have a lot though. I will definitely be picking up the new Heresy box in a couple of weeks, and that should kick start my loyalist Heresy force nicely Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313995-old-duffer-returning/#findComment-4210354 Share on other sites More sharing options...
