My First Post

Well first's time's a charm, eh?

Let be begin with myself here. I am a relatively new gamer, only beginning 40k 3 years ago and am currently starting fantasy. I have read many things and have actually been called a "Rules Lawyer" for some unknown (yet oddly flattering) reason as far as 40k goes. I am a big "fluff-guru" also and I try to play the game more by the background than the rules (of course I use the rules, but I base my "tactics" more on background than winning). I have read all the rulebooks and codexes (almost) from 2nd edition to now.

My main army is Kroot Mercenaries. Now I do not currently play Kroot anymore but they will still always be my main army. In 4th edition in the full year I used them I believe I lost 5 times (and I played about 5-6 games a week) and then 5th edition rolled in and I got tabled my first 5 games. The rules just did not allow them to play anymore. I currently play mostly Iron Angels (now am at about 10,000 points) which is a Blood Angel successor. I have always had a space marine army and it's always my secondary army. It's my "home base" if you will. Its the army I can never stop playing but dislike it all the same. It is still being painted (maybe in 4 years or so it'll actually get finished).

I also have a small Tyranid army that will very soon grow in rank to my primary army (which is of course different from a main army). It is themed around my grasp of Tyranids. When a hive fleet is about to invade a planet they send spores in advance which turbo-chargesd the plant life and such before they get there. And using Earth as an example, which is very largely plant life, most planets would be about 95% plant life that gets eaten. And so why aren't the Tyranids green and brown and do photosynthesis? Well mine are (except the photosynthesis part, because then they wouldn't be eating everyone's head off).

I also have quite a few other projects as well that will unfold as I get interest in them.

Stay tuned, and thanks for reading.
