Greetings and Salutations
After a long haul (so long in fact that I can’t quite remember if it was way back in 95 or 96, when my older brother first indoctrinated me into the ways of our beloved hobby) I have finally decided to lay my frail and pointy eared space elves to rest for at least a short while and start up a new army.

But who to be? After playing for about 16 years with my Eldar I had tough decision in front of me, and so I seriously considered the background and character potential for all the armies out there. At the end of this process I had two similar yet very different armies in mind, either the Death Guard, who I have had a soft spot for, essentially since I started oh so many years ago, and the World Eaters. And so after a long and tough decision between the two armies I had decided to lay my Eldar down and raise high the bloody and torn banner of the World Eaters.

Since for its whole life my Eldar never had any real background or flavor, they were just another run of the mill craftworld army who only basically had that certain selection of models in it because I thought they were purty when I was little. So I had decided that my World Eaters warband would be heavily fluff orientated and have a strong background and feel to the army. Now I have spent many a long hour in the library, when I should have been studying, trying to come up with a background that would really make my army stand out to me and give it a unique character and feel. Although there are still a few major speed bumps that still need to be ironed out, I will try to finish it as quick as possible and post it for the esteemed members of this forum to pick at and thoroughly destroy.

I also must admit that I am a very slow painter. I mean it did take me nearly ten years to actually paint the two-thousand points of Eldar. However slowly but surely it will get done and I will try my best to post them up on here for your enjoyment (or displeasure, whatever takes your fancy) and also to hone and improve my limited brush skills.

Aye, and may Khorne favor you :D
I tend to remember things off the top of my head as opposed to checking, so please excuse and correct any official fluff mistakes I make. A lot of it also personal interpretation and theory, so feel free to disagree as well, I won't mind

Hail, Brother. Welcome to the Tyrant's domain. We are all glad you have left your allied xenos scum to rot, and have seen the true glory of Chaos. May your Skull-Champions lay waste to the Corpse-Emperor's domain, and your hands forever be stained in the blood of Imperial Heroes.



Alright, seriously now, welcome to the board, man. ^_^ Enjoy your stay!

Thanks for the greetings fellas, its good to be here.

I must admit that I am pretty goddang slow at writing. And as such may be a while yet before I post up anything of stock for my army, especially since I am in the middle of exams at the moment. But soon I will be free of the shackles of university and I will have all the free time in the world to hide away in the corner and get my background all sorted out.

You're slow at writing? Most Khorne followers are, though I hear the Kharn is great at writing sonnets... :P
