Greetings fellow bat enthusiasts,
As Rapscallion just before me, I'm also returning to the hobby after a (very) long hiatus. Indeed, I received a very serious threat from a friend: "I'm back home as soon as I'm done with this job abroad. You better have an army ready and painted by then!"
This shall not stand! It's time to awake skeletons and zombies!
More seriously, a bunch of friends and I are playing Warhammer Fantasy 6th with a fanmade compendium that adapt every unit from 4th to 8th editions for... well 6th rules. Please not that beside new units, the rest is the same as your regular and beloved 6th. (If you are curious, it's right here. So far the creator has been making the rules in Spanish -his native tongue- but plans to translate it when he's done with the books. I advice you to use your favorite translating tool in the meantime : Manuscritos de Nuth - ¡Cargad!) My most common opponents are Beastmen of Slaanesh, Dark Elves and Orcs & Goblins. As you can guess by my presence here, I am but a novice Vampire player.
I'm mostly looking for advices to build an army for this altered 6th edition and to collect miniatures, giving that some of them are no longer produced by GW. Maybe now is a good time to say that I really like both Von Carstein and Necrarch and that I can't choose between those two ? Also, I'll definitely post my models here as I (slowly) paint them... Just don't expect marvelous works.
IRL, I am an anthropologist that study the boundaries between life and death both in classical Mediterranean civilisations (welp, mostly Greek) and in modern media (welp, mostly video games). I guess it's fitting for a Vampire player, is it not?
Pleased to meet you all
