Hello everyone! I'm DB.

Morning one and all.
I'm Dan. I'm 29 years old from Derbyshire UK. I'm a new fantasy player starting up this month when I joined a gaming club in my local town after a friend roped me in. I used to play Magic the Gathering before this. I've always liked models, but I have a young family, so having sharp tools, models and glues around always made me a little skeptical.
However, my boys are now growing up fast, and don't really bother with my stuff, unless it's Transformer or SpongeBob based. So I decided to get into this game in the new year. Now it took me a long time to decide on an army, and I was torn between High Elves, Wood Elves and of course Dark Elves. I've always liked Elves in fantasy lore, like Tolkien and I thought I might aswell give them a try.
I decided after two weeks of umming and arring, to go with Dark Elves and here I am. I bought myself the armybook, and I have the Battle Magic cards also.
I have a copy of the Khaine End times book on its way as well. Must say that I do like the Malekith End times variant, but I don't like the model too much. I hope they remodel him as it seemed to be a wasted opportunity, when they seem to have redone, or at least worked new models on the other end times releases. I'm guessing, although I don't really know what I'm on about, that he is a model to come at the very end perhaps.
Anyways, I'm here to learn from all of you and hopefully become a great future Dark Elves player. I'll post up some lists and hopefully some photos of my army as I build it up. I am doing a slow grow with a couple of others, starting next month, starting at 1200, then 1500, 1800, 2100, 2400 and finally 2600 for a big tourney at the end of the year.
I can ramble for England, so I'll leave it at that.
Thanks for reading,
DB.
