Im Sean, and im Scottish. I'm from Glasgow and I've got about 2.5k dark elves, 2k imperial fists, 2k imperial guard, 2.5k empire and i'm not proud of this, but I've also got about 3k worth of skaven shooty army of death(boo hiss!). I also have countless mordheim and necromunda gangs, and loads of Blood Bowl teams. I've been playing for about 7 years.

I'm Marcin from Poland (Upper Silesia to be honest)
Now I'm 21 and in this hobby since 1996 (with a long break in WFB between 1999 and 2004). I own about 2k KoS for W40k (before that I had 3K Space Wolves), 2k Ogres (now they belong to my sister) and 1,5K Dark Elves (played VC before).
I'm a musician, a tatoo/piercing studio co-owner and a Biotechnology student at Silesian Uni.

I'm Heather Hanson from South Central, MA. I've only just begun my time here in the WH world. I was dieing to start a DE army from myself, but never got around to it, due to money (I'm obessed with tattoos. Most of my money goes to that) 2 weeks ago my boyfriend bought me my first boxed warrior set. I can't wait to get started on them.

Heyas, I'm Jukka and I live in Finland. Currently 19 years old. Originally thought I was a lot younger than some people, like Nags, who I originally though was 2 or 3 years older

But anyway, I started with the hobby something like 8-10 years ago, not exactly sure, but started with 40k. Then after about 2 years started Fantasy and now 40k is a bit on the side, with the main focus on FB. I collect Dark Elves (no kidding?), Vampire Counts and just started Lizardmen for the Lustria campaign. As for 40k, I've got Blood Angels, Dark Angels, Space Wolves 13th Great Company, Chaos Space Marines and a Daemonhunters army in building... The combined points cost of the armies propably would be around 20,000-30,000 points. Not exactly sure

I'm Ilokir... that name should send a shiver down your spine... In ordinary life people call me Pieter. I am 23 and I'm playing warhammer for 2 years now. I'm student history and while I was looking for a course on strategy, I found WFB the best course there was out there

We started playing with a few friends, but for me DE are the one and only: as these armies go, DE was the most difficult and rewarding army to play with. For me, this was a true challenge. I follow a course on strategy now, and I am surprised how easy it is for me to follow the moves on the blackboard.
As daily life goes, I practice Karate and I'm intending to do Kendo when I will be graduated.

Funny - I could've sworn I'd posted in here before. Might as well do it now, I guess, what with me being a Regular and all (must've been another one of those posts that were swallowed by the notloggedin disease or the backspace syndrome).
Alexander A. Norris, 17, going on 18 this year. Resident of Bois-le-Roi, which is close to Fontainebleau, which is in the south of Seine-et-Marne, which runs the entire East of Paris. French national by right of soil (being born here) and British and Canadian by right of birth (those being my parents' nationalities). Speaks Frenglish, though fluent in both French and English (;)).
Probably the newbiest Regular around, as I still haven't played a single WFB game in my entire life. My entire Druchii army is about five hundred points total (and Silas offered to paint it for me if I payed for the postage! w00t!), and I've only been in the hobby for about a year now (heh, time flies fast).
Of course, by hobby I mean WFB. I've been in the Hobby for somewhere between three and four years, now, having started with Tau (and still stuck at 1k points. :lol:

Well, okay, I sold half my army to go from static to MechTau) some time ago.

Alan Munro, I come from Inverness, Highlands, Scotland (thats in the UK for anyone that dosn't know). I have been playing warhammer for about 8 years, but have had a DE army less than a year. I am a college studying for a Control Systems Design exam on Friday.

Drowpower · Post by **Drowpower** » Tue May 31, 2005 1:56 am

My name is Ian from the UK but currently living in Chile (lifes funny that way) , married and with a wee boy called Ben and another due any day now and having just read this thread feel awfully crusty. I started playing warhammer, d&d, runequest, merp, call of cthulu, paranoia and various other tabletop games when i was 11. I am now 34...........

I sort of left off playing Warhammer around 1990. i used to play dark elves as i had a rival who always played High elves. I spent all my money on figures from gw, grenadier and ral partha. Unfortunately i have hardly anything left from those days. I'm back in the saddle now though and busy painting up my Druchii as i've found a welshman in Santiago who has lots of orcs and chaos that need a good drubbing!

Hello fellow Druchiies..

My name is Jens(Jay) Christian(Cee). I live in Copenhagen in Denmark. I am 16 years old and have been playing since 5th edition (cant remember which year). I first started collecting lizzies though it never really turned into an army. When 6th edition druchii came out I started them. I am thinking about going back to lizzardmen someday.

Oldone · Post by **Oldone** » Tue May 31, 2005 8:19 pm

Paul, from Carlisle (which is not in Scotland) and quite surprised to find I'm not (quite) the oldest here. Started wargaming thirty-something years ago, went through spells of WRG Ancients, D&D, Runequest, had a big break and got drawn into WHFB by getting my (now) ten-year old son the starter set a couple of years ago. He's now into orcs, his little sister is worryingly keen on VC (Lahmians of course) and they decided that I needed my own figures so got me started with DE. Slowly building an army as funds permit.

Gijoe · Post by **Gijoe** » Wed Jun 01, 2005 8:30 pm

Hello, My name is Justin Joe, I am 32, and I am addicted to Wargaming. This sounds like an AA confessional! Like Malevion I come from the ends of the earth by way of Auckland, New Zealand.

I've been addicted to the rolling of dice, the fumes of glue, peeling PVA from my fingers, slashing my flesh with Xacto blades, building calluses from opening too many paint pots, cackling madly into the wee hours of the night over army lists, reading every WD over and over until the covers fall off, carting cases of scenery and other gaming paraphenalia across vast distances of countryside, bemoaning the lack of sucess of a newly painted unit, conferring with other veteran gamers about the pros and cons of Rogue Trader rules and the connection of the 40K slann to the WFB slann, gnashing the teeth when paying out the increase of GW prices ( "I remember when you could buy an army for the cost of a regiment box!" ) ... you know the usual rants and raves.

yes, I am a gamer ...

I have been addicted to this hobby ever since I was a wee lad making rules for those plastic soldiers you could buy in the supermarkets, when marines were released in the classic RTOB01 configuration ( affectionately known as "wombles" ). I can identify with the glorious "red" period of GW ( red being my favourite colour! ) and I can appreciate all the sentiments and comments my fellow addicts and denizens here...

Keep contributing, keep playing and keep checking the back of the couch for spare change to buy that blister!

Justin
