Greetings from MJ;-)!

Greetings, and welcome to our new blog! MattP, HMT, and MJ;-) (me) will be posting here various things related to our 40k hobbies.

We all probably have our own, and often different, priorities for this blog, but don't hold us to any particular Modus Operandi. In the end, this blog will likely cover any and all topics even slightly related to Warhammer 40,000. I'm sure we'll cover topics ranging from the modeling, converting, scratch-building, and painting side of things, to homemade rules and other Apocalypse-related content, to Army Lists and Battle Reports, even to those things that help our hobby yet are not directly related to it such as photography tips, casting, and maybe even the video game side of things.

As for me, I began my 40k career shortly after the release of 3rd Edition - mid-1997, I believe. My first army was Dark Angels, and was quickly augmented a couple years later by my Eldar army. Over the years I have branched out into Chaos Marines and Deathwing (and have more-or-less dropped non-Deathwing Dark Angels until they get a more deserving codex). I have enough Eldar and Black Legion for Apocalypse games, and am currently "in progress" on two projects (replacing my old metal Deathwing army with a "Chaoswing" army thanks to those awesome Doombringer Annihilation Forces from last summer; and Deathguard). I also have an upcoming "secret" project, one which will unfold here on this blog.

So WELCOME. We look forward to this new undertaking of ours.

Welcome!

Hey, everyone! (Anyone?) Welcome to "Deleted from Imperial Records." This is going to be another in the long line of Games Workshop Warhammer 40,000 blogs. We hope you like it.

I'm MattP. I've been playing 40k since Rogue Trader. My main armies are Eldar and Chaos although I have a Daemonhunter and a Catachan army that both refuse to ever be painted. (The Catachans are all metal, if that tells you anything.) I'm rather prolific and like nothing more than to make up new rules and scenarios. Once upon a time this got me in the position to help play test many official 40k products as an "Ancient and Honourable Techpriest." Alas, that program has gone the way of the dodo, so any of my official projects are few and far between.

Due to a childhood obsession with Godzilla movies, I am also crazy for titans and anything huge. Not sure if this makes me a power gamer or not because I am just as happy to play against my creations as to play them myself. Adding both the rules-making and the mega-monsters aspects of my personality together has lead to us playing a lot of narrative Apocalypse battles. We have been basing these off of the Apoc-Eclipse web page. I don't know how much I'll divide between here and there.

I'll be making most of my posts about either new units/rules or model making. We'll see how it goes.
