Hey everyone, My names Saj aka Mephestic and im from Leicester. I originally posted in the thread on the p8ntballer forum and was directed here by the original creater Godforbid. Northampton isnt too far from Leicester so Im quite excited to find a group that isnt too far. Im 27 and married, working full time in local government stuff. I went paintballing for the first time about a week or so ago and loved it but I lack friends who share my enthusiasm and hence my journey has found me here. I have just bought a mask, a JT Flex 8 which im quite happy with and my next aim is to get a marker. I was toying with the idea of getting an A5 but I think I may just get the x7 phenom (e-grip)...im not sure just yet to be honest; I may consider a tournament style one instead too but im a bit confused and lost as to which tournament ones are any good really (advice on this is welcome!) Im saving to put money aside as I have other responsibilities but I imagine I will get my marker either next month or the one after. I have to buy a car too with the wifey so I think she may not be happy if I start buying my toy guns first lol so just trying to duck and dive around that a bit. I hope to join you guys sometime if thats cool; where does everyone play? What games do you guys play? (like the style?) Would it be cool if I joined you guys sometime also? I look forward to playing with you all sometime and I love the site too btw! Its going into my bookmarks all the best, -Mephestic

Hi mate, I have replied to your email you sent via the website. We play mostly woodsball & scenario at the moment, though we are hoping to get a speedball team put together at some point soon. So basically we hope to have a team playing all types of paintball. As for your marker, make a post in the Armoury section on this forum and people will be sure to give you opinions & tips Welcome to the forum & paintball

hey mate, I replied to your email. My location is Leicester if you need to know. I didnt have a picture of me in any paintball gear but sent you another one that I felt was probably the most "veteran" looking one lol. Its of me sat on a hill in egypt. I'l certainly be coming with you guys once I get my marker,hopper,air tank etc. It will take me a couple months but il be here for the long haul after Im quite excited by the idea of playing in a team

You'll have great fun mate. I've added you to the team profile page. As said I am sure people will be willing to lend if you want to attend an event before you've managed to get all of your own gear Enjoy

Forgot to mention. I am in the process of buying a new pod pack at the moment, which means my old tactical vest will be of no use. If you want it you can have it if it'll help you get started. It's not great but it will hold pods, and that's all you need to start with It's the one my mate is wearing in this pic

Welcome to the team mate.
We are from all ends of Northants, and play at different places in the county or outside.
Don't worry about how long it takes but just remember your part of the team.
We all understand that money is tight, and therefore we have never had, or expect to have the full team on field on the same day.

Hey all! Thanks for the warm welcome from everyone! I should be good to come to the event in Rugby on 7th October. Im going to order my Air cannister tonight from Justpaintball (£34.95 for 3000psi 0.8lt) as it seems to be a decent deal and good place to start. Godforbid has been kind enough to loan me his marker on the day also and I have my mask too now so looks good so far. I have put it in my calender and will let you guys know if anything changes.

Still looking at getting some pods, where did you get yours from?

hey! it was from ebay - I got 5 for £16 delivered.
Probably could have got it cheaper but they arrived and seemed pretty good!
