Wargaming started for me when a fiend brought over some 40k Imperial Guard and the 3rd edition Guard and Catachan codices. What drew me in was the terrain building opportunities, and how there were rules to fight battles over said terrain (I was always crafty at school). I immediately thought Imperial Guard were amazing but ended up collecting Space Marines first!
I have 6 40k armies, 4 WFB armies and 3 LotR armies. 
Oh and 2 BFG fleets!Classical: Historicals started with WG Romans!!
Specifically the free one on the cover of WI, remember that? I have three boxes assebled but not painted yet. My interest in that dates from studying Latin in school. Thursdays were civilisation days, so we got a break from declensions and conjugations! The army and the struggles of Caesar, Pompey et al really fired my imagination. Stuck with Classics all the way to Masters level. My army theme is the Legio XX (Valeria Victrix) during a 'what if?' invasion of Hibernia.Being Irish, I always find myself drawn to the Irish element in periods of conflict, the concept of the 'Irish Brigade' really captures my imagination! Therefore a lot of my projects have an Irish element as a theme
Napoleonic: I have a box of Victrix that I am planning on making into the 88th Connaught Rangers, 'The Devil's Own.' The French infantry box I also have will perhaps be turned into the 87e régiment (formerly Dillon's).
ACW: Nothing done here yet, but I want to build the Irish Brigade about the time of Gettysburg, in the Wheatfield.
Great War: Once again, I'd like to do an Irish regiment in the British army. I have visted the Somme and it's quite something, even after all these years.
I also have a copy of WH's Trafalgar but have yet to raise a fleet. I seem to buy nice rulebooks but never get round to much gaming.
