Hi all,
Just a quick note to say hello!
Been into toy soldiers since I started secondary school back in '93 (before this I was assembling and painting Aifix planes). Been GW all the way for me. Mostly 40k - Space Marines (3 chapters) and IG - but also Blood Bowl. In recent years (as earnings increased) I have got into Warhammer (Skaven). Lucky for me, I have a friend (Baragash), who has a broader wargaming spectrum and introduced me to Mantic. I read the KoW rules and was interested.
Having been into GW for nearly 20 years, it was almost a step too far. To be honest, I wasn't bowled over by the models... until I saw the Orcs! Fantastic models. I went to the Open Day (I was with Baragash, wearing a white polo shirt and dark shorts, with a blue Nike bag) and was impressed with all the models when viewed up close. Mantic's website does not do them justice!
Since the Open Day, I have really been into Mantic. I bought both DKH at the Open Day (luckily, as Dead Rising has already sold out!) and have played some of the scenarios from both (brillaint games). I have also ordered an Orc Army Deal and am hoping to get a few games in soon...
Thanks!

Welcome aboard.
Our legions continue to swell!
Good luck with the Orcs. I've spent the day clipping out 80, to add to the 85 I had already sorted out for my Challenge Army. 95 to go, and my lair will be Orc sprue free. Well, until part II of the army deal arrives...

Welcome to our little corner of the jungle. Some of us here entered the miniature gaming hobby before there was a GW, I remember when they were the small upcoming company, so I collect mini's from whichever companies interest me. Glad to see your broadening your horizons.

Hello mate. Glad you found us here We'll have to compare notes on Orcs then. Do you reckon you have a chance of having them ready for the AOS event in November?

Mentioned on relevant thread that I am hoping to have an army ready, but it may not be fully painted though Estarriol mentioned a 1,500pt game vs Elves. Looking to order the Barbarous Horde Army Deal before the end of the month 'deadline'. Will top that up with the Army set a bit later. Just waiting for the Orc Beta list to turn into the Orc 2011 list!
