Thread: Introductions

Hello. I live in Temple/Belton. I own a very small tau collection, but am slowly growing it. I have a battlebox coming Tuesday.

Many of my models are currently proxies (dinos painted up are my kroot, fairies painted up are my vespid). My broadside is papercraft, and I am going to make two more of those.

I do not have any heavy tanks or airplanes, as I am at a loss as to how to proxy those (I have been loaned marine tanks to use in the past).

The biggest game I have played is 1000 points. It was a tie.

Obviously I have much to learn as I grow in the hobby. But I would like to play the game soon, this weekend (Sept. 25/26 2015) even. If anyone is down for such a game hit me up. I will drive to dragons lair if need be, or in Killeen battlefield games (or any other store with tables within an hour of me).

Hola, Josemaria! I'm pretty sure I can do a game this weekend if you want to go to Dragon's Lair. I'm on the south side of Austin. If you can make it Th, I'll be there as well. I am totally fine with you proxying anything you want, and if you want to do a couple smaller point games, I can even loan you models to use for whatever tanks/planes you want. I play chaos.

Well, work is now sending me away, so I won't be here this weekend. I hope to know by tmrw if I'll be at DL on Thursday. I hope you find a game! FYI I'm fine with playing with proxies all over the place. See you around

I appreciate it! I am a husband, father, and teacher first. So weeknights are tough.

Enjoy your work trip! I will be around! I am going to repost this on the pickup game forum, I just noticed that.

Vaya con Dios,
Josemaria

Estoy seguro que cuando yo regrese, podemos hacer un juego en un fin de semana. Tengas suerte buscando un juego este fin de semana!

Hi, I'm Nick W. I live in NW Austin, close to Wonkos and close enough to DL. I'm working on a Crimson Fists army. So far I have 2 tactical squads and a Pedro Kantor model I got used. They are pretty far away from the table top as they need to be stripped and painted. But they are a good place to start. I also enjoy making terrain, and have a few WIPs. I previously played back c1994-1998 and wish I still had my minis from back then. I'm pretty astounded by how detailed contemporary minis are vs what I knew in my youth -- all pewter and bulbous. Still I previously had a MEQ spam army of Chaos Marines and Berzerkers that I do miss.

I like other war games, D&D, and others, but haven't had much exposure, and 40k can be a pretty consuming hobby, especially when building a new army after so long away.

Welcome Nick!

CRP knows pewter and bulbous well
