My name is Brian Jones. My first exposure to the Warhammer universe was Dawn of War, which a squadmate got me to play and proceeded to beat me hard at when I was in Iraq. Didn't get too involved. Got pulled into Dawn of War 2 though, loved the enviroment and the story and the concepts. So I started buying warhammer 40k books.... About 2 years ago, I discovered it was all based on a table top game. There would be posts about how the game wasn't like the tabletop game in this way, or in that way, and I would gradually pick up on how the tabletop game worked and what it was. Then in the summer I decided that I needed a new hobby, but the price tag made my wallet jump out of my pants and run away. After wildland fire season, I had a butt ton of money and entirely too much time.... And I had always liked the space wolves. After a 30 minute conversation about which army specialized in what, I confirmed going with the Vlka Fenryka.
I stoped by the local comic shop, and baught a battle force set and the codex. That was about a week after joining this guild, and I was in the process of painting my first space wolf when I posted in Dark's Thread!
Right now, I've worked out exactly how many of what I want my army to be, and got to a point where I can mass assemble the models rather than be like "Um......um.... What the hell is this, and where do i glue it?"
These are my first three figures I've ever assembled, and painted!
The one on the left as you look at the picture was my first... where I discovered yellow is not a good replacement for an actuall white/tan paint for skin. The right is my second, and the middle my third and most resent.

I've patched up the white spots I've missed on the right guy.
