New Guy
« on: October 06, 2010, 11:25:12 AM »
I'm New~!

Hey Ya'll, my name is Brian Estano. I've been coming to the abington store on Saturdays for about a month now having just moved up here from Virginia. I used to play in Chicago, IL back when I was in the military and in Alabama prior to that (hence my accent). When I came to the store the first day, I still had a 2nd edition codex for the Dark Angels. I am still new to the latest rules but am picking it up pretty quickly and have a decent sized army to play with. I am ex-military serving 4 years in the Navy and modeling was a good way to burn time out at sea. I managed to accumlate roughly 6ooo points of deathwing fully painted, 2500 points of ravenwing, and between 10-12k points total between my collection of DA. I'm not bragging by any means, I was just REALLY REALLY bored during my two deployments at sea on a ship 506ft long for 8 months.

I hope to meet you all eventually and will accept challenges to help improve my game and experience playing the new rules and my new; old codex that badly needs to be updated I found out. I really enjoy  Battleground Games because of the enviorment and most of all the players who have helped to teach me the rules and correct mistakes I make during gameplay. It is a great atmosphere for new players! I am bad at names so please don't hold it against me if I can't remember.
See ya'll round!
-Brian-

I like to go home, pour some whiskey, and have a surplus of units to pick from.

Welcome, Brian.  If I don't meet you in Abington sometime soon I'll see you and Chris in Plainville for the doubles event.

Have a good one man,

New faces are always welcome.   New faces with large, painted armies are even more welcome.  ;)

Welcome Brian,

I'm one of the other Dark Angel players @ Abington. Sometime before the Megabattle We'll have to get together, or atleast email about who we're bringing. No two named characters of same name. EASy to overcome though. See you around sometime.
