Might as well say hello (Again)

Alright. My name is Alex. I signed up on this site a few years ago, hoping to build a chaos force from the dark vengeance set. However, I ended up getting discouraged by my horrible painting, and after looking through the rules and finding them really complex, gave up. I was also suffering from a really bad period of depression at the time, so that probably didn't help.

Later on, I gave Age of Sigmar a go as it's more simple rules wise, after finding some painting tutorials online that really helped. Now, rather than being horrible at painting, I'd say I'm almost semi-competent at it, hahaha. With 40k 8th edition, I got some AdMech guys. Didn't like their play style, despite loving how they looked, hahaha. I rejoined with a new, tyranid army to play against my friends tau, and later on got some Blood Angels. I'm really liking 8th and the Blood Angels (As well as the tyranids) so far, despite having 90% of my games against my friend. I'm hoping to soon be able to start coming on Saturdays to play other people as well.

So, lesson learned: don't just jump into a hobby that is known for being expensive without doing some research first. Also, don't just pick an army based entirely on appearance. I know liking how they look is really important, but it's also important to actually enjoy playing them.

So, learn from my mistakes, and I hope to see you guys at some point.

welcome Alex!

and yeah sometimes an army clicks with you and sometimes it just doesn't... glad you found armies that suit your playstyle more!

I know more than a few people who bounced off a few factions before they found their groove, but it sounds like you're starting to get the plastic addiction role going strong now.

I roll horrifically bad, so I'm a good person to test out lists against in a forgiving environment, so just look for the guy who is usually wearing a shirt that matches his army.

Thanks guys.
