Welcome TheMillsFCC, you've chosen a good community to be a part of, as for joining a faction. Do you have any pre-existing 40k experience or fandom? We have the Crimson Fists, Dark Angels, Ultramarines, Deathwatch, Word Bearers, Salamanders, Raven Guard, Black Templars, Thousand Sons, Space Wolves, Blood Angels, and White Scars represented on here.
As far as UK goes I think the biggest concentration of UK people are the Night Lords, but generally you can find UK people everywhere, and some non-UK people have odd times. So look around, get a feel for the groups, play with their members and decide what's best for you.
Once again welcome to Gothic Wars.
Thanks for the welcome mate!
Well i'd heard of warhammer before but never really took an interest, but then i found out about Space Marine, and have just been pretty hooked ever since! So i think going from that, Ultramarines would be my go-to team, out of loyalty i think

. But then again, it was Gerhart from the Crimson Fists that told me about this site in the first place! I think your right though, i should just check out the various groups and go from there.
Also from my original post, I work during the day so wont be around during that time, and due to other commitments i wont be able to play every night, but i know for sure that i will be available 3-4 nights a week at least.
Thanks again
TheMillsFCC, Glorified Meatshield In The Gothic Wars Since May 2012.
