Hey everyone, I'm Ryan.
I'm kinda new to the world of Warhammer, was interested in painting GW minis as a hobby and came across this forum while googling links for painting tips and etc. After lurking for a about a week I thought I'd introduce myself as I've been inspired to start an army and start playing.

I am currently starting a WFB High Elf army but it seems 40K is the more popular of the 2 games. I figured I'd also start a 40K army. Not sure which one yet. Just by looking over the GW site I'm initially drawn to the Necrons but the Space Marines seem to have more variety. Anything I should know when getting started?

Hope to be painting and battling soon!

Howdy and welcome!!!
You will find there are many people here that can assist you in pretty much every aspect of the hobby!

The best way to find out things is checking things out here on the forum and asking questions... Then hang out at some of the stores when we are playing... Check the Make a date section.

I play a lot of the armies for 40K and Fantasy and the only advice I can really give you is to find the army that really strikes you as the one you like and then learn from there, by looking over fluff and some PDF rules...

Good luck!

I have to completely agree with Makari, go check us out at the stores, you will get a much better feel for the armies, and how they can move.
