Community is growing so I thought it was about time for an introduction thread.

My names Desmond, 38, from Fairbanks, Alaska. I work as a fire assay technician in the mining industry. Been a gamer since Pong was new. Played just about any game you can think of as far as pen and paper/table top is concerned. Played WH40K since the first printing of Rogue Trader. I'm a miniature painter and sculptor as well.

<stands up>

Hello, name's 'Sparks' and I am from Sussex on the South Coast of England. I am 26 and 'work' as a writer, mostly of short-story fiction. I'm a long-term PC gamer, having been hitting buttons on PCs since I was a little 3-year old child.

I've been playing Warhammer, both 40k & Fantasy, from about the age of 10/11, but these days I mostly stick to my two favourite systems; Mordheim & Battlefleet Gothic. I am a staunch lover of the Imperium & Imperial Guard for many reasons. I do find it incredibly hard to even want to play as any of the other 40k races and my friends really have tried to persuade me to pursue other races but...they bore me!

I am very much a pen-and-paper RP addict and am currently involved in a Dark Heresy group. My forum tag is the name of my current character who, true to form for me, is an Imperial Guardsman, which was a shocking surprise for the other members of the group.

If you're also on the Warhammer Alliance forums you may have seen my tag, Leonhart Konigs (who happens to be a Warhammer Fantasy RP character of mine) on there somewhere...possibly.

Guess it is my turn...

Hey, I'm Jonathan. I'm only 21. Was raised in San Antonio, but currently live and goto school in Dallas, Texas. I got into gaming when I inherited an NES and gameboy pocket from my brother who is 10 years older then me. Soon afterwards I got an N64, but when I finally entered high school I moved to computer games and have since stayed there. (I worked full time at a movie theater back then and can could afford it.)

I got into Warhammer during High School with the rest of my gaming group. It really sparked for me when I read the Eisenhorn omnibus by Dan Abnett (I recommend it). Since then I have spent untold hours looking into many different lores (not just 40k). I have played the table top, but since I have enough friends that everyone has one army I have actually gone without buying my own, but I did paint two whole armies (both IG funny enough). I play Dark Heresy and other paper and dice games more often. My favorite character so far has been my signature Tech Priest named "Fritz" who gets away with too much and actually has a blessed bolt pistol.

I am currently am a junior in college and am aiming for a degree in "Art and Technology" with a minor in Computer Science, and I hope to actually work for Vigil when I graduate. (Planning to seek an internship with them this summer.) Other then that I am working on making an Android game for some added revenue cause currently I am out of a job (I would do stuff for iPhone except there is a $100 yearly scrub fee just to get the API, and I would have to program in the Mac lab cause I don't have the money to buy a machine. I am living off of scholarship money here.)

Ill also include my top played and favorite games.
Warcraft 3 (custom maps only)
Emperor:RotMK (it is an oldish city builder)
Zelda:OoT
WAR (best times in an MMO)
Darksiders(There is just so many reasons I want to work for Vigil)

Hey hey!
Im Cory (29) and live up in Washington state. I am an IT Specialist working on everything from servers to VoIP. I have been playing PvP games ever since Pong on the Atari. My first MMO I really got into was Dark Age Of Camelot, it was a ton of fun, and as far as I know the only successful MMO to pull off 3 faction PvP. Right now I am not really playing any MMO's and am waiting for something worth the time.

Hey all. I'm Fredrik, 27 from Sweden. Currently doing absolutely nothing, as I am unemployed and on long term sick leave, due to some unfortunate events in Afghanistan.

Been into gaming my whole life, and.. the first real PC game I played I think was some sort of human body experience or something, where you fly around inside a human and zap bugs and visues and whatnot. Later I got a NES and Wolfenstien for the PC and since then I love everything that challenges and tells a good story.

Currently I'm not playing anything at all though because I don't have a computer or a console atm, and on top of that I'm in the middle of moving to a new apartment so money is a bit of a problem when it comes to gaming atm.. as soon as I'm settled I'm sure I'll get a PS3 aswel as a new PC though and then it's on again!

Hello

I'm Stephen. 25 from Manchester in the UK. I've been hooked on 40K ever since I was 11 when my friends got me into it. Have collected nearly all of the 40K armies at one point or another... as I'm flaky and love the lore of each! (with notable exceptions to Orks, IG & Tau... BORING).

Don't play 40K Tabletop anymore as its just too damn expensive to collect them... although I've still got the start of my Eldar & Dark Eldar armies sat behind me in a box, you never know. Really into the Eldar big time, I think it's the overbearing arrogance of the race I love.

Love the DOW series. Pretty sharp at the online gaming. Eldar... again.

Away from 40K, into my Xbox games, PC games, Strategy, RPG, shoot-em-ups. No job at present as I've recently returned from backpacking round South East Asia... but sure I'll have something boring an monotonous to occupy my days soon enough.

Music: Drum 'n' Bass, Industrial, Metal, Rock, Indie, Blueegrass, Electronica... eclectic you could say.
Film: Requiem for a dream, V for Vendetta, Burma VJ, City of God. The Alien series. Anything dark and gritty.

so, yeah... that's me.
