Hi Everyone,

My name is Rano. The lockdown really made me miss wargaming, even though I haven't played in years. I just found this website, so I'm excited to meet everyone. I used to play Warhammer fantasy and Warmachines prior to moving to Kingston. I played a couple games of Warmachines since I came here, but otherwise, I haven't really played anything in 8 years. I'm very rusty. 

Here's what I have. 

40k 
- I've never played 40k, but I always wanted to.  I should be picking up a custodes army from a friend of a friend soon. 

AoS
- While I haven't played AoS, I have my old Lizardmen army back when I played fantasy (prior to moving in Kingston). They're still on square bases though. 

Warmachines
- Khador - I played a lot of this back in 2nd ed. 
- I picked up a Retribution army to try to get my wife into wargaming around 10 years ago. It failed miserably, but since then, she's become much more of a gamer. So I should try this again.  

Hopefully, we'll all be let free, and we can throw dice again soon.

Welcome to the forum!

Welcome to the community! Good group of people around here. Most of us are chomping at the bit to game again and I look forward to seeing you across a 40K table at Nexus in the (hopefully) not too distant future.

Welcome! If you wanted to learn 40k, we've been playing over Tabletop Simulator during the lockdown. It might be worth it to spectate a match or two to start familiarizing yourself with the mechanics.

Thanks, everyone. I'm watching some youtube videos and reading the rulebook. Thankfully, it seems the rules are very similar to the old Fantasy, so it's easier for me to take it all in.
