Step one is admitting it. Hey my name is Tim and I am new to warhammer 40k and TT gaming in general. I have collected several thousand points of Adeptus Custodes. I am in the process of finishing and basing the majority of my army.I have watched alot of battle reports but I have never played a game before. I am extremely interested in 40k match play, crusades and kill team games. I have played DnD since I was in 6th grade, and been a paladin/barbarian from then on. I would love it if someone would show me the ropes and play some tutorial games with me so I can get the hang of things. I know a bit of the basic's but that's about it.

Hi Tim! Well, you're in good company; most of us have a mild to severe plastic crack addiction.
Now that we're able to play games in person, I'm sure scheduling a game will be a fairly easy proposition. We've got a great mix of armies locally, and a bunch of great opponents. Kingston in general has it's own "meta", and I'm happy to say that it's nowhere near as abusive as some other communities.
Cheers,
Voodoo

Welcome tim. Saturday are our usual day to play but you can also post a looking for game any day of the week.
Currently you just need to book a table ahead of time.
Hope to see you on the tables!

Welcome to the forum Tim!
I'd be glad to run through a game with you to intro you into the game - batreps are great and all (watch a lot myself!) but nothing beats rolling dice in person!

Awesome thanks guys. I will push to get my models finished. I am pretty excited to play a game. I will make a post once I am closer to completion.

Heya! I've never actually played custodes before. You said you had a few thousand points? That's what, 25-30 models? Haha
Just a small note; unless it's a personal goal, don't feel like you HAVE to finish painting everything before you play. It's never too soon to start learning smaller games, and sometimes I find playing is a good motivator to finish up those primed/grey units. You know they would have performed better if they were painted...

And I'll add, there's certainly no requirement to have 2k to play a game... and definitely not a full 2k painted.
Having a fully painted army is very nice of course, however as Dave said, it's good motivation to "reward" a performing unit with a new paint job! (plus you can see your army get closer to completion with every game!)

I am very close to being done. I have alot of units in sub assembly as they are custodes. I just finished enough bases to start assembling my troops. I have a rough idea on what I want to use for my army. I may bring more then 2k so I can get suggestions on my army list and have some flexibility for multipul games. I won't be ready nor have I reserved a table for today. Next Saturday I will have enough to get started. If anyone is free for next week please let me know. I will reserve a table at nexus.
Now for traveling cases...might have to make a purchase when I am there.
