Hello,
I'm new to the forums and I may contribute to a discussion here and there when time permits. I decided to introduce myself in order to alleviate the "Who do you think YOU are giving ME advice?" responses in case I post something contrary to popular opinion.
I have been playing Warhammer 40k since about 1992 or thereabouts and I have been playing WHFB since 1996-97. My main interest in 40k is the Imperial Guard, since they have a virtual plethora of units, vehicles, allies and my personal favorite: Tanks. I'm quite a treadhead, and I have an armored company with a Baneblade as the command tank, although I rarely play this army since I consider it to be quite unfair to my opponents. (I don't like the term cheesy and beardy makes no sense at all to me)
Although I play Imperial Guard to excess, I have either owned or played every major army in the game with the exception of Eldar (Pointy helmets do not appeal to my sense of taste), and Sisters of Battle.
For WHFB I have changed armies almost as many times as I changed majors when I attended college. I've played nearly all of them with the exception of High Elves, Dark Elves (Although I have dabbled with Wood Elves for several years) and Lizardmen. Currently Beastmen hold me in their thrall, however, they may fall by the wayside since I have just recently read the new Dwarf book (Organ guns aren't worthless anymore) and I have always had a soft spot for Dwarves.
I am a prolific painter and an occasional player, although I have won several local tournaments (Lady Luck only smiles upon me during tournaments for reasons that I cannot divine) . This is a hobby for me instead of just a game and I absolutely refuse to play against an opponent who hasn't bothered to put at least minimal effort into assembling and painting their models.
I also have a fairly good grasp of the storyline for both systems, and I refuse to use the word "fluff" as the word itself makes my stomach acids churn with a sickening, burning feeling (Although I could have just eaten something disagreable). Maybe it's just the Dwarf in me, but I really don't like words like "fluff" or "cute".
Lastly, please spare me the prefabricated introduction post, as I have read it many times now and I'm familiar with who everyone is. :yes:
