Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split, as a general thing.

"Lo there do I see my father. Lo there do I see my mother and my sisters and my brothers. Lo there do I see the line of my people, back to the beginning. Lo, they do call to me, they bid me take my place among them, in the Halls of Valhalla, where the brave may live...forever."

What is good in life?...

"To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentation of their women."

Arnold in Conan the Barbarian

Introduction and Mission Statement

My name is Dan Eaton. I became interested in Warhammer 40k upon inheriting books and models from my deceased younger brother. He was 11 years younger than I and I was more a father than older brother. Warhammer 40k helps keep him in my thoughts and prayers. My first army was Orks circa third edition.

My mission for blogging is to represent the hobby in a positive way and share my enjoyment and experiences with others.

I will also post additional non 40k topics as the mood suits me.

Thanks for the read,
BDS
