Hey all, I only just saw this thread!
My name is James and I live in Sydney Australia. I started playing fantasy on the tail end of 7th. 8th became my go to game! I used to work for GW and when AoS came out, I couldn't stomach it anymore. I felt so betrayed and angry that I foolishly sold off all my armies except my WoC.
Fast forward many years later and now I have found a group of people playing 8th and also convinced a few mates. I have been slowly collecting again. And now I currently own 10 armies. But only have 3 playable at the moment!
This forum helps me out so much and it makes me happy to see 8th alive and kicking!
For those who are curious my playable armies are : WoC, beastmen and ogres.
The ones in the works/still in boxes. Orcs and goblins, dark elves, dwarfs, empire, lizardmen, vampire counts, skaven

jamesacon: Flee! Flee as far as you can, while you can! This site will only entice you to buy more minis you do not need, cannot afford. and will not paint or play anyway! Heed my warning! Only the blessing of Sigmar (and my niggardly disposition) saved me from that hideous fate! Otherwise than that: belated welcome to the forum.

Hi All,
I've been on the forum a few months, mostly seeking the sage advice of you good folk in the 'Get the rules right' section, and have only just come across this thread.
I live near Gloucester, UK and have been playing WFB since 6th ed. Originally collecting just Orcs and Goblins, but now it's easier to list the armies I don't have models for than those I do! Sadly my gaming group is now non-existent other than my brother who lives 200 miles away so game time is limited to a few meet-ups a year.
Love the forum and great to know that there is still an 8th ed. community out there.

I have one friend that I can play with and between both of our life schedules it's pretty tough getting a game together.

Welcome @pgamopi! Do you still play 6th and 7th or have you chosen to stick to 8th?

Welcome @pgamopi ! Do you still play 6th and 7th or have you chosen to stick to 8th? Thanks. There are parts of 6th and 7th that I prefer to 8th, but I exclusively play 8th now. Remembering one set of rules is more than enough for me!

Howdy! Old-timer returning.. Played with my older brother´s Epic stuff (2nd Ed) as a kid and a bit after started to play 40k when 2nd Ed was released and a buddy bought the box.. We played the Armageddon campaign on his birthday and were both hooked! I did not start playing WFB until 6th Ed however, someone had bought two of the hardcover rulebooks and I got a nice price, at the local gaming club..It was time.. Joined the Stunties, becuase I liked their fluff and the metal Longbeard models.. I still do, but I always struggled playing Dwarfs, don´t like taking it, sitting there.. Had some Bretonnians for a while, metal Knights Errant was a fav!, but gave them up before their 6th Ed book.. And finally got into orcs! I played Space Wolves in 40k and Orks too so axes, (fungus-) beer and beating stuff with various brutal weapons seems to be my thing.. Currently doing a Black orc and an orcs & Gobbos warband for Mordheim.. With an eye towards expanding to WFB of course! Really looking forward to Warhammer Old tWorld.. i think.. Atleast if some kind of Brian Nelson Orcs remain.. Can´t stand that new LoTRs-looking trash in Age of Trash..

Thanks buddy! I kinda still like the Dwarfs.. Just too much of their play style that bugs me.. And i play more relaxed and story driven when playing Orcs anyways. That is more fun.. Sip a beer or three while causing havoc, watching the Gobbos get annihilated as my orcs win..Hehe.
