My First Army...the Long Way Around

 Way back in the mists of time, long before the Age of Sigmar, the Age of Chaos, or even the Age of Myth, i started my first Warhammer Fantasy Battle Army. It was 1996. I had a paper round and had a whole £20 to spend. A friend and i were just taking our first proper steps into the hobby. Over the previous year i'd bought a model here and there, mainly flailing around getting used to just what Warhammer was.  This would be the first proper effort at starting an army. We went to the local Games Workshop, to pick up our army books and choose our first £5 box of miniatures. My friend went with the then brand new Chaos box - If you remember that far back, it was the edition that added the Retinue system to their army, and first divided the force into Warriors, Beastmen and Daemons - whilst i was drawn to a much smaller book.  Not even an Army book in fact. But 'White Dwarf Presents: Chaos Dwarfs' That and a box of plastic Big Hats and i was hooked.  Fast forward a few years and
