A renewed interest...

Hello everyone.

Name's Justin but you can call me Wedge if you like. I was first introduced to the 40k universe in high school when Dawn of War first came out. The game had me hooked and I found myself interested enough to both purchase and paint a small number of Space Marine models. Despite the bug biting me, I had no one to play with and my Interest waned when I moved out on my own; I passed my small collection on to my cousin.

However, recently I started playing some more Warhammer games I bought on Steam and have found myself delving into the 40k lore. Learning just how vast this universe is beyond that of the DoW games has rekindled my interest and I feel the urge to create, paint, and perhaps play once again. I am well aware of the investment needed should I start this up again and was wondering if anyone knows what the table top scene was like in Prince Albert. I do not wish to invest if they're wont be people to play with in the area.

Thanks for reading and I hope to fight along side you all in the future.

Welc0me to the fprums Justin! Not sure whats happening out in PA now, but they used to have a pretty good community going. Ben and John both moved.into Saskatoon though, and I think that might have killed it. Is JP's still open?

Im sure Ben will weigh in here and fill you in a bit better.

Hey and welsome!! Last I heard they meet at a guys place on Saturdays still, talk with Jack at j&p hobbies to see if they still do, that being said I remember only a handful of ppl played in pa, like robyn mentioned most of us migrated to saskatoon.

PA is still kicking. They tend to be at the PA train show, witch should be coming up soon.

I'll check out JP's and keep an eye out for that train/hobby show. Thanks for the info

Visited JP's today and its now official. I have a functional army in 40k.

I chose the Dark Angels as my army for the following reasons.
- I like the look
- The old school medieval vibe appealed to me
- They are trying to regain the honor lost due to 'The Fallen', which I respect.
- The army was described to me like this. "The Dark Angels are to Shooting the same way Blood Angels are to Assault." Which is what I am looking for. A ranged army that can still hold their own in Melee.

I wont get into what I purchased but Its roughly an 1150 point base army, which I hope to push to 1500ish when properly equipped.

Not a bad start I think

nice start dude!

If you find yourself in saskatoon, just shoot up a message in the thunderdome section, we have a prety big 40k group right now!
