Hello all,
My name is Nathan (Farseer Doomsage on this forum) and I've collected and played 40k since the late 1990's, early 2000's. I have played 40k, Planetfall, Apocalypse, and Battlefleet Gothic. In all games my faction of choice is Eldar, specifically with a focus on Craftworld Ulthwe. Over the years I've also collected small forces of Blood Angels Space Marines, Imperial Guard (mostly Catachan models with one Chimera, one Leman Russ tank, one Imolator tank), some Dark Eldar. Fleet-wise: again mainly Eldar/Craftworld Eldar, Space Marines, small Chaos force, small Necron force.
For 40k version/edition familiarity I was introduced to 3rd edition and followed playing through 4th and 5th. Bought 6th edition but never played. I'm VERY new to 7th ed, bought & looked through the Craftworld Codex and found a rules summary for the 7th Ed Core rules.
Just moved to Kingston for work in April, just discovered Kingston Nexus a few weeks ago. I got to play my first 7th Ed game a few weeks ago at Nexus and really enjoyed it. The 40k group seems nice and fun that I've seen so far forgiving in my lack of present edition rules knowledge. I'm looking forward to getting in some games and getting to know the group better!

Welcome to the forum Nathan!
We'll certainly do whatever we can to get you back up to speed with the new edition (my favourite edition of the game thus far)

Welcome! I've played the game pretty consistently through the editions since 3rd and I *STILL* get a bunch of new rules mixed up with old ones!
Also, cool to see someone with some actual BFG stuff! I've got a moderate Chaos fleet myself, and one of my friends has an Imperial fleet whenever he's around. Haven't played in years though.

Thanks for the welcome Jack, Voodoo and Sanity Assassin. I'm looking forward to playing some more weekend games at Nexus, or watching and trying to learn the new rules as others play for a bit too. sanity assassin, I've played many BFG games over the years and a several campaigns.

I can echo Matt's comment in terms of time played and occasional rule mix up I also still have my Dark Eldar fleet but also haven't played since the last time I played against Matt's Chaos. And lastly, welcome to Kingston

Like 40k though, it has been a few years since playing BFG. I'm trying to focus on 40k first with this newest edition of the rules. Some time in the future, once finding my stuff since the move I'd be happy to play some BFG games with you.

Hey Jack. Yup, that's my plan. On that note, where is the best place to park to go gaming at Nexus (generally, and specifically on the weekend). When I first came to game I maxed out the meter at the spot I found on Princess around the corner (at 2 hours I believe) and was lucky I didn't get ticketed when I arrived 3 or 4 hours later.

And don't forget about the 2k Club Championship in February! It's one to attend for certain!

Parking garage right beside Nexus is the best spot - bonus it's actually cheaper than street parking for some reason - only $1 an hour opposed to $1.50/hr on the street

Perfect, I'll have to remember to park there. I'll have to remember the tourney in February Voodoo. Thanks for the tip.

Np! My real name is Matt, I don't get down to nexus often and am beginning to get my painting/playing bug back after a bit of a hiatus. I mostly play CSM Nurgle (ref. zombie hordes) but have a 2k force of post-heresy rule pre-heresy paint Thousand sons and some imperial spatterings. Depending on where you live, my place is always open for some northern 40k games.
