Hi Dakka. I've been into
40k since Rogue Trader, back in my teens. More into the painting/collecting side than actual gaming, and with numerous long breaks, so I have a lot to learn on the gaming side. Based in Brisbane Oz (
GW Chermside is my local).
I played a little of 2nd and 3rd, and a fair bit of 4th ed in the
UK (Eldar and Nuns), and pretty much skipped 5th as I sold everything in '05 when my first wee'un was born. However, now my eldest is almost 8 he found
GW LOTR, and the old itch began again. So here I am, with a shiny new Dark Vengeance box of my all time favourite
DA muhreens (plus some converted Space Hulk termies).
My boy is starting to get the hang of painting - most of the
LOTR stuff in
this album is his work. My 5yo daughter is also showing interest, and I've started her on some scenery.
This is my latest finished mini:
and a firebase I built from packaging:
I've had a game of Vassal, which I think is awesome, and just yesterday had my first tabletop game of
40k in 8 years at my local
GW store. Lost the match (500pt
DA vs Orks) but won the body count. C'est la vie.
Anyway that's me. o/
