Im... kinda a newbie... not really new to the boards but to 40K... though not so much as you think... I rember back in the days of second eddition.. though I didnt knwo bout warhammer back then. I went into a hobby store my dad was getting some d&d stuff or something. and then I saw the wall... IT was COVERED in WHF and WH40K stuff they had a table on which a battle was taking place... though I didnt care. I found my self looking into a display case... looking at these smoth vhicals on their clear stands. they were so sleek... 5 minutes later I was walking out of the store viper box in hand. and thats where it started... though it happened very slowly. once I got home I put the thing to geather. gave it a crappy paint job and stuck it in my room. I showed it to my friends, they didnt care much, and for a long time it was forgotten. then one day as I was cleaning out my room. I found it. knocked the little sucker right off the shelf and onto my foot. at which point I again fell in love... with that smooth viper... oh yeah... anyway after putting on a half desent coat of paint I set off to find the box it came in. after a bit of searching in the basement I found the box with a small unused slip of paper in side that had some thing called
"instructions" anyway it also had old 2nd eddition rulz for the viper. so going to a hobby store (not the one that I first got the viper from) I found out what this game was... I was once again side tracked... I found the orcs for Warhammer... after a year of collecting (but never playing) those orcs I again stumbled on the viper. then I went to some hobby store bought some gaurdians and the eldar rule book. later I got a farseer warp spiders and so forth... and thats how I got into 40K
I suggest you go to the bath room run around, fart or watever you need to do cuz im not finished yet
of corse you could just stop reading (and you probably already have) but
SHAME ON YOUI read all of YOUR posts
anyway,
I, oneday brought the BBB to school (I found a kid who played DE but didnt have the rule book and wanted to see) and another friend of mine saw the cover. he is into the 1920s for some reason. and liked the look of the Black Templar on the cover. I told him how much they cost. and he said "Im just looking"
I thought and now he collects Dark Angles...
I know 2 more kids who are "Just Looking"
we might have new 40K friends soon
I will, now finaly shut up... I know youve wanted it for a
Time so I go now yes and dont touch my ham!
P.S. You will probably never get your wife into 40k... it's just one of those things...
