I'm a keen but frustrated modeller, painter and gamer. I don't get as many games as I'd like and having once had a fully equipped workshop of my own to work in, I find it kind of tricky to get motivated to work on the kitchen table once my family is abed.
My days are taken up looking after my two kids and trying to impose some sort of order on my house. After everyone has gone to bed I'll either be working on my figures, my rpgs or simulating pixilated violence.
I started playing Warhammer in the dim and distant past of Rogue Trader, in which we gleefully played armies of ratlings on hover boards and discovered that ramming with tanks was alot more dangerous than shooting people with lascannons.
I then moved onto fantasy battles (the one with loads of plastic goblins and elves) and my undead were completely monstrous in that. I tried to play clever and sneaky wood elves with that edition but never won a single battle, so I gave up on them.
A few years later I decided to get back into 40k again and did my research to find an army that combined the traits of least played and lowest model count (least money and painting). And I discovered the Thousand Sons. These have worked out pretty well for me, although with the change in edition I had to cut all the power fists off my sorcerers and replace them with hand weapons again. Which was a shame.
In the new year I decided to deviate from my loyalty to Tzeentch and bought a set of Forge World berserkers. Painting and modelling these took alot of work and research and I'm not totally pleased with the results, but they are the best thing I've painted so they'll do for now.
Hopefully this blog will motivate me to get going and finish some of my many projects and get started on newer bigger ones. And possibly I may have found a few tricks and tips that others might find useful.
