17. 5, Male

Occupation:
Full time student, cymbal tech. in training

How did you get into wargaming?
My friend had introduced me to Battletech about two years ago.

How did you get into Tau?
I recently started playing 40k with a good friend of mine. I started off with Tyranids, only to have a brutal mishap. When I went to, um, replenish my army, I fell in love with the Anime style of Tau.

What would be your second piece of advice (after "read the freakin' rules") to a new Tau player?
Have fun.

What is your Tau colour scheme?
Currently in the process of choosing one. I am waiting for the new Citadel paints to come out. I'm thinking of a a yellow/beige and dark grey scheme. Similar to Vanilla Tau, but a little more, eye catching.

How did you find this site/the old site, and how long have you been a member?
I basically just stumbled upon it while looking for inspiration in general. I have just become a member but I am hoping to be on often. Especially once I start rebuilding my army (The remains of my poor Tau have been ripped apart for my basic suit conversion prototype :D )

What are the origins of your ATT username?
It's the last name of the main character of Stephen King's Dark Tower series' pseudonym thaat I have taken on as my own.

Have you reviewed the ATT Member Primers?
Mosf certainly

Where and how often do you usually play?
Rarely, I'm more in for the hobby.

Do you have any other armies, for 40K or another system?
Nid remnants and a Battletech Mad Cat

What is your favourite and least favourite army to play against?
Necron's are my favorite because my best friend uses them and it's always an adventure when were together.

What is your best and worst 40K moment?
My best is when I single handedly reduced a Trygon to it's last wound with a single, brave Broadside. My worst was when I lost an entire squadron of Piranhas to a puny Termigaunt

What does/do your family/significant other/friends think about your 'funny toys'?
My family finds it stupid, my significant other does not know (but she will ;) )

What are some of your other interests?
SCV, which is our local drum corps here in the bay area.

Do you have any pets?
A crazy puppy and a brother :P

What is your favourite band?
It changes but right now I'm into Muse
I also love Voltaire

Thank you!

Anyway, some time in the next two weeks I will be having shopping spree. I have a large list that is open to change. As I said I am mostly in for the hobby so I'm going to spend a good amount of time amassing my army. At first I was a very poor painter, but almost miraculously my skill have improved. I am planning on doing a scheme like this:

I actually just listened to the album. I like all the connections it made, but I'm not much of a metal fan, say true.

Speaking of the Crimson King, I have an idea for my commander now, good thing I've decided on red detailing. :P

Can't wait to see the idea when it's finished, you should be able to post in the concourses soon. The lower concourse is brimming with inspiration, it deffinately helped me with my army

Yeah, I don't have a model yet, well I do but I'm scared to strip it and then dismantle it like I did a few of my fire warriors. Plus I need the paint. I do have prototype parts I will put up though!

So, I thought I might just posting this on here would be best.

So, a few months ago my father had forced me to throw out all my models. I have given him a few months to forget and soon I'm going to pull the I'm 18 card and get back in. I may have a job soon so I will have a much more stable supply of funs along with my own form of transportation. I alsp went looking around to see if I wanted to do a new race. My first idea was to do Wood Elves in fantasy, start off new entirely. Then I jumped to Lizardmen. Just an hour ago I was completly into doing Necrons. Well now I realized that, hey even if we don't get an update, I enjoy getting my local GW lacky mad, so I decided to go along with my current buy bits online and make them look better then the vanilla models.

So I'm back here :P
