First contact was in 1990 with Space Hulk, and that sent me on a lifelong love of the 40k universe.

But alas, I still have yet to finish painting a unit, or learn the full rules of any edition, or even play a game of 40k.

I played pro MTG from about 97 to 2010, and struggled to stay in the scene this last decade, and have finally decided to jettison one of my other main hobbies and focus on learning 40k.

The lockdown and the shift to 9th edition have slowed me down quite a bit, but I shamble on.

 

I have mainly marinez in my pile of shamez... LF daily crozius bludgeoning to motivate meh...

Welcome to the B&C! I've seen worse piles of shame... without leaving the house alas :lol: Now is as good a time as any to paint that first unit and get that first game ;)

Welcome !

Welcome aboard- I too am a product of the gateway drug that was Spacehulk!

 

Funny enough, I've got a game of Spacehulk planned for Saturday; it's going to launch a Genestealer Cult Crusade- the stealers that escape the ship will go on to create their own Cult. It'll probably be the only Spacehulk game in the entire campaign, but it felt right to start my campaign with the first GW game I ever played.

 

We'll see you around.

Welcome! Enjoy yourself.

Welcome to the B&C and back to the hobby, MillMaster! :tu:

[MillMaster]

Thank you all for your warmhearted responses!

 

What areas of B&C should I post in as someone who is just learning 9th and trying to use all that plastic to make their first list?

[WarriorFish]

Best place to start is the appropriate army section, so that would be one of the Marine ones depending on your stripes. Judging from the top box this might be Dark Angels?

Aaaah, nostalgic pictures. :) 

 

Welcome to the B&C, may your Inner Circle never find any fallen (I might be biased, hehe). :P 

[battle captain corpus]

Welcome brother!

 

Hand in all Fallen at the door and keep your wits about you! XD

 

Always lovely to see some classic minis! I’ve got a few myself tucked away for rainy day projects to!

Does this count as a "classic mini"????

 

[WarriorFish]

Of the most special sort :P I still have mine somewhere :lol:

[MillMaster]

Do I measure from the hull or the base?
