Why did YOU start collecting DL?, why? ,why? ,why?

Just Curious.

My reason: they looked like a fun army to play an I love Daemons.

Gooooooo Slaanesh

I didnt start collecting yet, but the deamonettes are soooo tempting to paint ... LOL!

My current army is Tomb Kings - and they are sooo slow.... thus Slanesh DL would be a perfect change wouldnt it?

Well, my path to damnation kinda went like this. I started out playing chaos. My chaos force was very successful. I used about 1/3 mortal, 1/3 beast, and 1/3 daemons but the whole force was lead by a Daemon Prince. After a while he talked me into setting up his very own army of daemons.

OK, so I don't really listen to those voices in my head, but it must have been the cool models, the fact that they don't run away, and the fact that they kick all butt!

At the time, I played mortal chaos and beasts, so daemonic legion was just a natural progression at the time.

Well, I started with Dwarfs. When SoC came out I started to collect Slayer Cult.

I really don't even know when I got the nurgle bug. It just came from nowhere. At first, I am a hardcore dwarf player, and in the next moment I'm putting together a list and converting models.

It must be the nurglings. No-one can resist their allure.

Well, I'm slowely finishing the work on my Lizardmen army, and some time ago I started thinking about the next step, i.e. the next army I'm going to collect. I had some interesting conversion ideas, and then I came to an idea to make an army completely consisting of bird-like creatures. And is there a better army for that project than the Daemonic Legion of Tzeentch? In the meantime I read the rules, and I believe it is also a very fun army to play with. But that will still have to wait a bit longer.

This is actually my first WHFB army, generally i have collected 40k (Eldar, Dark Eldar, Black Templars and finally Imperial Gaurd) But I have always liked the daemon models and they can be used in both WHFB and 40k so it made it felxible for me.

Well, I actually started demons because of 40k. I was just beginning my Slaanesh Chaos Marine army (back right when third edition came out, right in the ending days of second edition 40k) and decided that I would like at least two squads of 10 demonettes.

The main fantasy player in our usual group at the time kept bugging me to play fantasy (I had a tiny dark elf army at the time). So I decided I'd start up a slaanesh demon legion (slaanesh has always been my favorite of all the chaos gods, I'm a sucker for the love of music and art angle, which is why I think noise marines are awesome). This was back when my two main regiments of demonettes cast spells as if they were a level 4 wizard And my regiment of six mounted demonettes was a level 1 wizard. Ah, those were the days

So, I had a Slaanesh demon army that I played for a while. When the hordes of Chaos book came out they neutered my army to the point where I just couldn't play it (no mounted demonettes at the time), so I got a few chaos warriors (and later some beast herds) to make it playable. But I mainly concentrated on my Dark Elf army at this time.

Fast forward to around last january. I decided I would start a Nurgle demon legion when I found out about the Storms of Chaos demon legion list (I was so damn excited, my demonettes would see the field without some warriors following them). After getting enough stuff to make a 2000 point army, I went for Tzeentch next since I use to borrow someone's flamers when I fielded my old Slaanesh legion (back when flamers were a ranked up regiment with movement 9!). Midway through collection of Tzeentch I started up the Khorne army as well since I really like the models for Khorne (hate the new flesh hounds, but I have some of the old ones).

I am in the process of replacing all of my old demonettes with the new ones as well (I ran out and got 40 of the new ones when they came out). I'm selling off thirty of the old ones to a friend who is getting back into fantasy (he had to sell all his stuff to raise money), and using the money to get more of the new ones.

My plans for the future are to add 1000 points to my Khorne, Nurgle, and Slaanesh armies. This would bring the Khorne army up to 3000 points, the Nurgle army up to 3000 points, and the Slaanesh army up to something like 4500.

Thus is the history of me and my demon armies!

My steps toward DL...

1st - I have played two games of WFB - both with borrowed armies.
2nd - The guys in my Blood Bowl League play a lot of WFB.
3rd - Getting bored with 40K, though I love the chaos...
4th - Recently worked in a game store so I learned a lot more about WFB and got a LOT of bitz.
5th - I don't have a lot of money to spend these days.
6th - Converting is my favorite part of the hobby.

... so I'm building an all bitz box and greenstuff DL. Tzeentch to start then maybe some Nurgle. I am not going to buy any miniatures for it, but force myself to clean out my bitz bins.

I started down the path of damnation by using dark elves (after a long time of being a wood elf only player) and used a slaaneshi cult as my theme. Thus it was a natural progression to the hordes list when it came out. After that it's daemons all the way as they generally do the 3 things I like using in this game the most (magic, extremely fast units, hard hitting but fragile when hit back). Thus I've been playing my slaanesh list since storm came out yet only two units of daemonette cav are painted (I LOATHE painting foot daemonettes as well as putting them together). Amusingly enough I have more tzeentch painted stuff up and running than slaanesh

I aslo started with dwarfs...or actually not. I have spent more money than anyone in my age on warhammer....I have collected every army there is for both fantasy AND 40k....and I'm 16...started when I was 13.
At the time of the release of the Storm Of Chaos I was collecting dwarfs and decided to go for a slayer cult....then suddenly out of nowhere I decided for a slaanesh daemon army

I think it was when I was painting ONE daemonette for a friend of mine, I thought it was soo much fun and just loved it. That's when I decided to collect slaanesh

i started my nurgle daemonic legion because no one at my local club played nurgle...

It's a long road -

Back in 1990 I was introduced to this Rogue Trader game by my buddies. Soon we started wtih Warhammer Fantasy Battles (2nd ed.)

I thought the idea of dark and nasty undead was cool so I started with them, but they were too slow. Motivated by the Silmarillion I moved on to noble and fast moving elves - but they were too squishy.

Shortly I moved on to Chaos (which was a bit of everything then) and over the next few editions my one time impressive host of demons, monsters, mortals and beasts was pared down to the mortal army I have used for tournament play for most of the last 15 years. I also have 3K of an orc and goblin list I play because it's so different from chaos.

I love my mortal list but I've been gradually getting ready to move on - Daemons or Beasts is the big question. I have lots of either from previous editions of WFB. I'm a bit torn on which direction to go - beasts are very differently tactically but daemons seem like more fun to paint and convert.

Well dad taught me how to play since I already was intrested in fantasy games and WHFB. And dad wanted an opponent that would be available 24 hours a day. So when I was twelve year that means seven years ago dad helped me when I was painting my first Chaos Warrior. Hehe. I was chaotic already then.

But soon my intrest for WHFB grew so I begun hanging out with those who played WHFB in my neighbourhood since dad did'nt have time to play as often as I liked to. Even now I sometimes have a battle against him.

I have had periods during these seven years when my intrest was almost gone but it has always returned stronger then before. It has even survived two girlfriends. But my current girlfriend does accept it even if she thinks it's strange when a fully-grown man is playing with dolls !

I know exactly what you mean there
Me and all the guys here play warhammer all the time basically, and all the girls we know simply sigh and go: are you guys going ot play with dolls again?

We nod and go: but of course, what else
