Hi, I'm Nathan. I'm primarily a 40k ork player, with a bit of experience using Bretonnians. I'm jumping into Dark Elves, following a wave of nostalgia I got after dusting off the 20 or so Dark elf models I've had since I was in primary school in '95 or so. I think it was 4th or 5th edition Dark Elves (my army book's got a big white haired witch elf on the front - and while executioners didn't have models, they were depicted as having axes, not swords) that first introduced me to the game. Thank god they're all metal models - they're taking a bath in acetone tonight to get rid of the awful paintjob.
I'm looking forwards to a tactical army with lots of flexibility and options. As much as I love Orks, I'm getting tired doing the same thing game after game, with no variation in battleplan.
Bretonnians (which I chose because I love painting them) didn't really tickle my fancy either, with a fairly one dimensional "charge" playstyle, lackluster infantry, magic and shooting, and not many real options in terms of models (knights, knights, knights and more knights...).
I've just bought the batallion and the new Army Book. Looking forwards to my time on the boards here
