Hello and WAAAGH from the UK!

I got into the hobby in 1999 as a pre-teen, left it as I got older, returned to it (like so many others) in COVID. Really pleased to finally get involved in the Dakka community. I look forward to many passionate discussions, learning lots about the hobby, and browsing tons of inspiring photos.

Background wise: I've played 40k (a bit of 3rd, 9th & 10th), Mordheim, Heroquest and currently play a ton of D&D. These days OPR's Grimdark Future is my army game of choice (time constraints!), along with AoF Skirmish for the same reason. I've got a decent army of orks (painted up with red skin and uruk-hai icons) and a titchy army of Votann, plus plenty of assorted fantasy minis.

My current project is halflings for Age of Sigmar - I'm building a halfling Freeguild army to proxy the upcoming City of Ash Spearhead set. After that, probably Burrows & Badgers with the wife! Thanks for having me, and feel free to ask about any of the above.

Welcome to the forum!

Do no hesitate to show the pics of your current projects, we will love to see them!

Wow, sounds like you've done a lot.

I don't think I've ever seen a red skinned ork army. Why'd you decide on that color scheme?

I was watching LOTR at the time - the red-brown uruk-hai with steel helms and white hands seemed like a cool bit of iconography. I love LOTR and thought it would be a cool, unique theme!
