A little about me...

I've had an off of love affair with wargaming over the past 18 years since I was just eleven. I remember sitting on my friends door step on a Saturday morning reading through old issues of White Dwarf, playing small games of 40k with models from the second edition boxed set.
A couple years later I would play Necromunda with my Cawdor gangers with a small group of friends.

For a while I didn't play at all but would get the odd box of miniatures which would invariably end up half built, half painted and put away in a cupboard, only to be founds months of years later.

After a number of years of not playing or painting I got watching some YouTube videos about the hobby. Notably those put out by MiniWarGaming, BlueTable Painting and WarbossTae got my interested in the hobby again and I slowly started to plan to get back into at least painting up a few models to keep me entertained.

May this year my then fiancée bought me some savage orcs, which again were half built, not painted and in need of a little love. During the course of July I dipped in and out of watching people efforts in the July WarBossTae Painting Challenge. I was amazed at the commitment of people. Sadly, July was an awful month for me to get my teeth into my own project as I was packing up and moving house. This month I finally got my models finished and found it was a really great way to unwind from my new job.

Now I'm making a commitment to not let my hobby slip back into the deep dark corners of my cupboards. I've bought myself some 40k orks to build, paint and (if time permits) start a bit of gaming. Intending to do them as DeathSkullz, as this lends itself nice to conversion work in the future

I've decided to start a blog, mainly so I can track my own progress but also so people can see what I'm up to.

Oh how good things were before we got old. Welcome, and enjoy your time here.

Greetings! Welcome to Dakka Dakka!

We're only as old as the models we field... or something like that, right?
