Mwnciboo's Wargaming Universe
I have been wargaming since 1993, I started with Space Crusade, then Space Hulk, then 40k 3rd edition up Until today where i engage in all kinds of wargaming...
I goto Tournaments with my Club, mainly for the fun with Club members, I'm not passionate about Tournaments as it brings out the worst in human nature and often this has spoiled any sense of achievement or fun. Unfortunately there are too many dick-heads in this universe and it's illegal to put them to the sword (unfortunately). I am usually happiest with my fellow club members where we know each other and have long running jokes and banter and it's a nicer and more social hobby.
I am keen to advance the hobby, and as a well paid professional these days i can indulge my passion and experiment and try things out. I am amazed at the impact the internet has had on the hobby, sites like Dakka have advanced my knowledge of painting, modelling and the back ground to the 40k universe.
My aim now is to keep pushing the boundaries of what I am capable of and to keep scouring for those astonishing models that come out now and again. It's the Golden age of Wargaming, so let's Roll!
