King me!

Ha! 2000 post!

Before the party gets started I thought I would take a moment and briefly tell you about myself.
My real name is Jonathon spelled slightly unconventionally thanks to my mother talking on the phone while being asked how she wanted my name spelled.

Im 28 years old which seems about average for a WHFB player, well at least in my neck of the woods.
Ive been married for about 4 years, my wife and I live in the heart of Iowa, USA. We have two cats, neither is my avatar. Its nice, but to me, Ive travel enough to realize that just about ever city in this country is pretty much the same.

I have a Bachlor of Arts in History, with a minor in psychology, with aspirations of being a SF writer.
My other interests are largely to be expected. Reading/music/movies, however I am very picky about what I mentally digest!
Some of my favorite authors are in no order: Tolkien, Frank Herbert, Timothy Zahn, Stephen Lawhead, CS Lewis, Karen Traviss, and JK Rowling. If youre looking for a good book I recommend starting with one of the following Dune, The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, The Thrawn Trilogy, or, The Paradise War.
I am an avid Star Wars fan, and in fact if a war-game that more resembled 40K was still in production Ill be playing that instead of my Guard!

Lord Azaghul is from Tolkien, he was high King of the Broadbeam Dwarves of Belegost. He was slain by the Dragon Glaurung. I believe however he broke off his sword in the great dragon, greatly diminishing the dragon for some time. His kingdom was in the Blue Mountains.
Here is a nice little link for those interested: http://lotr.wikia.com/wiki/Azagh%C3%A2l full of brief Tolkien-lore!

In the time Ive been playing I have found WHFB more rewarding then any other game I have ever played, and I think I can safely call this my first true hobby
Ive only been playing this game about 2 years; however I am the obsessive type so when I get into something I become completely enthralled. Usually this last about 3-6 months, so I am delighted that this game is still holding my attention, and come to think I almost gave up after 2 months because I couldnt beat the fella teaching me the game (beastmen vs my dwarves: I eventually learned to deploy!) I play on average 2 games a week, but not a day goes by that I dont pick up a rulebook of some sort most of the time just to look at the pictures! When Im not playing or painting Im sitting on the couch wondering what I should paint next!

On a final note: This is a fantastic web site. I think that there are a lot of good posters here who bring very useful tips, information, and just general hobby support!

Now onto the party!

Beers of course, are on me! My coffers are relatively full at the moment, (tax return!) so feel free to post, even if I dont know you.
So get your post count up and have a brew on my: Root Bear for those under age, and Bagmans Finest for every one else!
