I got into 40K when I was 10 because I had just watched Alien and I thought tyranids were rad, but then Tau came out that same month and anime is great.

I got into 40k mainly because seeing some Warhammer Fantasy figures in an Inquest magazine in middle school showed me there was a cool game where scary elves fight eviler Vikings. Got into 40k because that is what people mostly played at the local game store.

I first got into GW games with the LotR game in 2001-ish. I coasted over to 40k because the codexes looked really cool and one of the guys at the FLGS let me play a couple of games with his Blood Angels vs some Orks. 4th edition is when I really got into it, but I was still a dirt poor kid so I didn’t really have an army bigger than around 500pts until a decade later in 2014 when I got back into the hobby as an adult because 30k looked super rad.

In a hero quest to warhammer convert. Starting painting heroquest mans with my dad when I was 12, and 40k was what they played at the local game store. Picked up a copy of the brand new 2nd ed chaos codex and fell in love.

My first actual hands-on experience eas Fire Warrior. Vast oceans of brown. (I didn't have a lot of PS2 games, borrowed it from a cousin and had fun playing deathmatch with my sister)

I got into the game because of the first GBS thread way back in the day, got out of the hobby around 6th edition, and got back in it now because 8th and AoS are good

I started playing hams at around 12 because I was unlucky enough to have a couple British friends who told us all about it. I’m 30 now, so life has gone great.

Got into 40k 2nd ed somewhere in the mid to late 90's when I was a teenager, then into WHFB and the rest of GW's game lines. Collected Marines, Chaos, Nids, and small Guard and Eldar forces. For fantasy had Skaven, Wood Elves, and Chaos. Also had Gorkamorka gangs even though no one played it where I was at. Gradually I played less and less, and I gave my armies away to a friend to settle a debt. Fast forward to last year when I started seeing Duncan's painting videos pop up in my YouTube feed. His Magnus video was good enough to give me the bug to paint again. That plus a visit home during Thanksgiving where my mother told me to to something with the boxes of stuff I'd left there, so I end up taking back my old bitz boxes. That pretty much sealed the deal. Started collecting again in December. I now have close to 7000 points of Tzeentch forces both painted and backlogged including: Lost Sons CSM built mostly from FW/HH 1k sons resin and plastic kits with a lots of conversions. (my main army/project, based off my old CSM army) Thousand Sons proper: Rubrics, Scarab Occult Terminators, Exalted Sorcerers, Ahriman, Magnus. (my "stock kits and famous characters" army, to be used in auxiliary with the Lost Sons) Daemons: So far I've got 50 Horrors, pink blue and brimstone. I plan on building this force up to the point where this could also be my entry into AoS if I ever want to. Eventually I plan on building Tzeentch traitor guard and traitor Knights after I get my other forces to snuff.

GW disrespecting veterans once again https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VXUDlcr0qI I was born into this dumb hobby, my dad's been wargaming since the 70s. I got into 40k when I went to Historicon and get a 3rd ed 40k starter box for $20 at the flea market, and I had a 7 hour car ride back home where I could pore over the rulebook. I was probably 13.

So magic has its own pizzagate now, which is cool.

I triggered some ham who was mid argument with the shop guy (who is really nice) yesterday by saying 40k wasn't a serious setting and that the kids books were good. I bought the Triumvirate of Ynnead (25% off hell yeah) and pointed out the cute purple cat that I was excited to paint. He looked like he was going to explode.

By the by, I figured put what Warhammer Adventures are for: parents. Children don't necessarily need child characters to get into it. They'll dress up as Superman, Batman, Optimus Prima a lot sooner than any of their child sidekicks. They also love the grim and bloody stuff; that's what the excellent Horrible Histories books are based on. No, the books are to confuse chickenshit parents who might not buy the regular hams books because they look violent and scary. But put a cutesy, children-ish illustrations on top and they'll think it's safe. Here's the modified 40K introduction blurb from Adventures: hams adbentoors posted:Life in the 41st Millennium is hard. Ruled by the Emperor of Mankind from his Golden Throne on Terra, humans have spread across the galaxy, inhabiting millions of planets. They have achieved so much, from space travel to robotics, and yet billions live in fear. The universe seems a dangerous place, teeming with alien horrors and dark powers. But it is also a place bristling with adventure and wonder, where battles are won and heroes are forged. It's sounds a lot better to your helicopter mom than LAUGHTER OF THIRSTY GODS and stuff. It's a stealthy way to infiltrate households!

I am old, and Rogue Trader came out the year I turned 11. I picked up WHFB 4th edition and 40k 2nd when I got to college.
