Greetings everyone,
I'm Farseer Bill by username, Gerry by real name.
I've been playing Warhammer 40k for a good eleven years now, seen the ups and downs of the hobby in my community and after a hiatus from the game that I took last year, I've decided to return to the game and hobby in a big way!
For starters, I've been getting a lot of games under my belt to brush up on the rules and make sure my tactical mind is still functional.
I've started working on my 40K Funnies comics which I started with my best friend many years ago. We've still got a solid 10 comic drafts in our old folder that I'm going to clean up and illustrate properly, so lots to look forward too.
and most importantly, I've gone through all my armies, set them up, looked over what needs rebuilding/replacing/painting and have begun to work on that epic task.
Currently my Speed Freak Orks just got their final truck boy squad built/converted and their truck is being re-armed. I've also got a team of Nobz, 5 bikes and a looted wagon that never got finished, so they are on the work bench now.
Along side the ork project (which I'm focusing on mostly because it's almost done and as a result will complete the 2,000 point army), I have at very long last cleaned up and rebuilt my entire Ulthwe Eldar collection. Only 1500 points of them ever got fully painted and I own close to 8,000points worth, so there is most certainly a lot of handle. I've gone through the preliminaries of basing all the models and have just in the past week found the time to spray paint almost all of them. Once they all have a solid coat of chaos black on them and my side ork project is done, I'll be going squad after squad after vehicle painting them all up and you can be sure I'll share my results here in the forums. I love feed back, good and bad because how can you improve unless you get told what's wrong with it? =)
When I do get all that done (The better half of this year I imagine) I will then turn my attention to my Space Wolves who sit around 5-6,000 points and finally finish them with my Tau waiting for their old paint drop to be stripped off to get a shiny new one instead! I've also got a Tyranid army that I'm sure one day I'll work on... some day. hahaha
If all this wasn't indication enough, yes I love the hobby of Games Workshop and the gaming aspect of it too. The stories are incredible and the community fantastic, I can't wait to see who all I meet here in the forums!
