Hi all,
thought I would break the ice with an introductory post. Boring I know but we all have to start somewhere - and now to bust my cherry so to speak
My name is Richie and I have collected wargaming figures since the late seventies - yep showing my age now :( I started collecting some Ral Partha dragons around 1979 - my dad was a modeller and he used to bring me in to the local gaming store (yep there was this little dingy room, not shop, oh how the kids are spoiled today) that room though was better than Santa's Grotto to me. Anyways, I moved onto Citadel and was beginning to move away from the hobby when Rogue Trader ran up behind me and sucker punched me. Today I am still collecting 40K and still hanker for the days of old when £2 bought you three metal models and they were made of gold and stood six foot tall I now run my own website selling used wargaming figures and models. I will be looking to get my tuppence worth and also to get involved in this forum - should have done it a long time ago but was always "busy" alas I am here now and I am looking forward to getting to know everyone.

So a big "HULLO" to all.

Welcome to Dakka! What army/ies do you play?

Hi Tyranid Horde
I no longer play but still collect and paint. I am painting some wulfen at the moment and have just finished some Imperial Guard.

You should post a few pics in the painting and modelling forum sometime.
