Long Time...

I really haven't had anything I wanted to blog about in, well, forever which is why this blog has been basically dead for almost a year.  I'm finally getting involved in some things outside the family enough that I thought it might be worth posting on my own blog instead of the family blog.

I've been ghosting on a local gaming store's (LGS) forum for about six months and noticed that they'd decided to hold a Warhammer 40K escalation league.  I began to look into it and decided to join in.  

I've been interested in Warhammer 40K since jr. high when Ted Johnson brought home an Epic Space Marine box and needed an opponent to learn the game with.  Kind of got out of it in High School with girls and sports and then couldn't afford it in college and, again, was more interested in girls and sports.

After I started earning money I thought maybe I'd get back into Warhammer and so I picked up a starter box which included a tactical squad of Space Marines and another faction.  I had fun messing around with them but never worked up the nerve to actually go to the LGS and meet anyone to play with.

After we moved to Vegas I got involved in a different miniatures game called Warmachine made by Privateer Press, but was still interested enough in Warhammer 40K (40K) to pick up the new starter box.  I assembled it and I think Jamie played with me once but it never went anywhere. 

Now we're in San Antonio and a new starter box has been released so I decided to try again.  I got it just a little before Christmas and have slowly been assembling.
