SimonRaele Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Hello there, I'm new to this forum. My name Is Jon. My first introduction to Warhammer was back in 95s 98s. when I randomly got a hold of age of the horned rat on pc. Sadly, for YEARS, I was never aware of its connection to any other Warhammer games. It wasn't until far later that I began to see Warhammer games and tried them out. I then started getting into the lore and stories and yet it would take me even longer to realize just how big it was. I never got into the miniatures but I wanted to, I just simply didn't have the money or space for them. I absolutely love deep narrative storylines with layers upon layers of lore - including the purposeful acts of ambiguity. Which brought me here. I wouldn't call myself a super fan, I just don't know enough of the universe, but I'm enjoying the delve immensely. Immense lore gets me thinking creatively.

I guess, if i were to start, id want to go imperial guards to start, i like the aesthetics of the cult Mechchanicus. oe look into Astartes. I'm not 100% sure just yet. lore wise I'm a fan of Cult Mechanicus and Arbites(I'm positive they are not a full blown faction) W.A.Rorie and Adeptekon 1 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/388324-hello-and-salutations/#findComment-6181516 Share on other sites More sharing options...
W.A.Rorie Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Arbites would follow under Imperial Agents codex. They have 3 units, one of which is battleline. Discussion for Arbites can be found here Imperium of Mankind Since you are a fan of Cult Mechanicus be sure to check out the Adeptus Mechanicus section. Also the Space Marine and Imperial Guard sections Adeptekon and SimonRaele 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/388324-hello-and-salutations/#findComment-6181539 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lathe Biosas Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 If you have any questions, feel free to ask. We have plenty of time and too much Warhammer knowledge in our brains.

Just not enough models. SimonRaele 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/388324-hello-and-salutations/#findComment-6181592 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonRaele Posted August 11 Author Share Posted August 11 Giving it a good. look, though not many locations near me, surprisingly to be honest. First hobby shop wasn't exactly the best start but it was still an interesting look. Like I said earlier though I like to make random creative things like stories. And what ifs. Any place here that allows me to post random stuff like a what if person? I like getting feed back on stuff like that.

WBRBloom Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 Hello @SimonRaele, welcome to B&C! Of course there is! You can have a look at the + FAN FICTION + - The Bolter and Chainsword section of the forums! Man, Shadow of the Horned Rat. I still got that CD and booklet somewhere buried (not the box, unfortunately).

SimonRaele Posted August 17 Author Share Posted August 17 Well i made my post, hopefully, get some feed back on the idea. Also, yes iwish i still had the game, but i was not exactly the best of caretakers. I regret now, but, cannot live in the past. I only wish I learned of the entire franchise sooner, although i doubt I would have been able to do much with it. Wasn't exactly rolling in the world of excess for it. also my lack of impulse control as a kid would have made me a terrible minature collector or even fellow hobbyist.

Adeptekon Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 I know it shows no views (that's an issue with the forum that I think staff is aware of), but I've read it. I don't really have any feedback so maybe someone else will.

BadgersinHills Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Welcome to the forum! The Mechanicus and Arbites also have Kill Team boxes, a smaller scale game.
