Hello All!! Been trolling your forums for a couple weeks now and have finally decided to join up and try to add to the discussion while learning a thing or 2 about our cold-blooded friends. I have been playing 40k (Blood Angels, Deathwing, Eldar) since 1995. To be honest I never cared that much for fantasy. Last summer our LGS decided to run a fantasy beginners tournament to try and increase interest. It was a free tourney and I had nothing better to do...so why not right? Well...I ended up playing a small LM force and placed 2nd. I had more fun in that tournament than I can remember. Now I am hooked (though my wife wasn't too excited...). In the past couple months I have been building up an army....but I am still pretty much a newb when it comes to fantsy. My wife got me the LM battalion for christmas, and I am still in the process of putting them all together, but it brings my small force up to about 1400 points. I look forward becoming a member of this online community.
Hey! Welcome and I'm glad you're gonna give the LM a try. It's cool when your local hobby stores run tournaments like that (especially free ones!) to gain interest, that's how I got involved in Warmachine... Hope that you get your stuff together soon and start playing! Good luck! Iggy
