Flavors of Heroin

So since this blog is mostly about MY addiction I guess I should start off with my armies. I currently have 3 playable 40k armies and another under development. I think that is pretty respectable....problem is that I have an eye to expand them all to much larger forces.

Space Wolves

This was my first love. Back when I was in high school I worked in a store that sold gaming products (D&D, MTG, Warhammer and others). During downtime the boss actually encouraged us to read the material so we could sell it better (man! he was a great boss). I loved 40k the moment I started reading the fluff. But the army I most liked was Space Wolves. A bunch of drunken bad asses, with fangs tearing through the galaxy tearing peoples faces off.....whats not to like? I currently have about 3k points, but unfortunately they are all kitted out with 3rd and 4th edition wargear. I have a goal to expand to a great company, but I don't think I will be doing to much with them till I see a new codex (btw).

Alpha Legion

Remember that awsome Chaos Space Marine codex where you had to pick which of the legions you were going to play as? I do to. I spent damn near a month deciding which of the legions I wanted to play. Death Guard (I do love pappa nurgle), Word Bearers (faith based initiatives), Night Lords (terror as a weapon...yes please). I decided on Alpha Legion, hell I even painted an ass load of cultists. The new codex is an epic fail but I still enjoy my purple monsters (oh and WTF GW, changing the damn color scheme....don't get me started). I have about 3k of them to and are the current focus of expansion.

Tomorrow, my other two armies.....................

Showing up to the party...years after its cool

Just wanted to introduce The Nerd Store. This is a blog about gaming. I would like to be more specific....but this hobby, she is a fickle mistress. Currently it will have a 40k focus, if it was a year ago it would be Warhammer online, two years ago it would have been WoW. I come and go in games but generally I just like to talk and think about them.

My immediate goals for the blog is to put up some pictures and info about my 40k models and maybe (if anyone ever finds out about this place) solicit some feedback. Currently I am between computer games, but when the heroin takes hold you know I will lose focus on 40k. But in the end, its what I love about 40k, no matter what else catches my fancy, I have always come back to it. Its something about having something that endures like the models. I have yet to find another hobby that has kept me interested for so long.
