After a long abscence, I have recently come back into tabletop gaming. I got got interested in GW after hearing my best friend (here after referred as to as The Dude) talk about Warhammer during history class when we were about 13 years old. It took a while to actually get really involved in the hobby as my pocket money was limited. I got there in the end and started to play every weekend with The Dude. We ended up choosing 40k, with me starting my Dark Angel army and El Duderino picking Eldar. I will admit here that I didn't win too many games, even when we swapped armies just to check that the Eldar were not indestructable.
We played other systems with pretty much the same results. Space Hulk, Necromunda (I had a Van Saar gang while he took Cawdor), Blood Bowl (despite scoring the first point of the only game we ever played, my Orcs got clattered by those pesky Humans), Warhammer Quest and Gorka Morka.
Inevitably, we started to grow up bit, finding other interests (under-age drinking, the opposite sex, etc). We both kept our models, but I kept looking in on GW every now and then and buying the odd unit here and there. I've got back into the hobby over the last year and now play on a regular basis by going to my local gaming club (Charing Cross). I've tried to get The Dude back into the hobby, but no luck so far.
Going to a gaming club, has given me the idea to leave my 11260 pts Dark Angel army and take on a side project. My Necron army now stands at 4779 pts and will steadily grow each months until I have at least two of every unit that isn't Troop or HQ. I now enjoy using my Necrons and as they are basically Space Marines but also have the chance to get up again. As a result I have gone from mostly bad results, to average results.
It can only get better from here...?
