Hi all! I decided to make the leap from 40K to AoS recently. I held off because I loved Warhammer Fantasy (played a lot of the TTRPGs, Age of Reckoning, and TW/TW2 are amazing) and was sad to see it go. Plus the Stormcast Eternals look god-awful to me which kept me away for a long time. I really enjoyed the theme of the Lizardmen in WHF, and I think their jump to celestial space lizards spawned from the memories of the Slann is an amazing evolution. Plus I get to relive being 5 years old when the first Jurassic Park movie came out. This army, the creativity with paint schemes, and most significantly this community make me really excited to play! All of the guides and discussions have been very helpful and I look forward to more! **Edit** Aaaand I just realized I created a username that is basically a copy of an Admins (LizardWizard). Woops. Anyway to change w/o creating a new account?
Thanks! I will. In 40K I mainly collect/play Blood Angels (Weird, I just realized I might have a thing for quasi-divine noble-but-monstrous armies) but I also love picking up Kill Teams or other models I think would be fun to paint.
I was eight and the movie scared me. You watched it at five? Anyway, welcome to the forums! Let us know if you have any specific questions about gameplay, painting, fluff, or anything else.
