Entering Geekdom

Welcome to my Blog, this is my very first entry. I have never blogged before so bear with me. I am a huge DC fan, but I also enjoy Marvel. Harley Quinn and Kara Starr(Power Girl) are my two DC role models. I collect comic books, am learning how to play Magic and am starting a Warhammer army this winter break so that I can try and go to tournaments next summer. I am not your typical girl, I enjoy beer not coolers, I like fights and cartoons not pointless dramas and I love weightlifting. This is my blog about my geek practices and an outlet for frustration.

Last week I decided to start an army for Warhammer. I wasn't sure which army I should pick, I have been trying to start for months now. I watched games, looked online and read as much as I could read with different fluff and army information. I had first decided I wanted to start an undead army. I love Vampires, I grew up watching Buffy and Angel and reading any books that a vampire was even mentioned in, so I thought it would be a logical choice. I couldn't even get past the assembly stage.

My boyfriend has some Eldar for his 40k and Wood Elves for Fantasy. His friend at the 'portal' asked why I didn't just use one of his old armies because women should, or normally enjoy playing little pansy elves. I laughed. It was hilarious, me with little elves trying to win against the armies of chaos and evil. I am the chick who loved her Forsaken Mage, especially when she tried to flirt with other characters. I have never heard a more revolting pick up lines in my life. (side note, I can't afford WOW and it takes over people's lives, but is an amazing game)

I finally went to one of my local game shops for the first time since I moved this year. It was amazing, much larger then it appeared from the entrance and it was packed with armies and figurines and comic books. I think I may have been in heaven for e brief moment. I was looking at all the different armies in the Warhammer area and remembered my friend painting these interesting miniatures a while ago and I knew what army I was going to start.

That day I purchased my wonderful Deamonettes of Slaanesh! My boyfriend is going to help me turn my general into a Harley Quinn model, painting her black and red, giving her pig tales and a mallet. I can't wait to paint them during break. In between my classes at College I have been reading the Demons of Chaos book. I have decided on a painting scheme and need some more money to finish my army. I can't wait to have them painted, and when I do I will post some beautiful pictures of my sexy deamonettes.
