Hello people, been a long time browser on the site and have been awestruck by the passion and creativity that abound on these forums. I personally love painting miniatures, and sell some (mostly historical figures) to fund my addiction to collecting new ranges (particularly 10mm fantasy) and some defunct Games Workshop ranges from the 90s like Epic and Warmaster as well as periodically organizing my boxes of Rackham miniatures and magazines.

Being not much of a gamer, in fact I've never played an actual battle or skirmish from any manufacturer, I do however love amassing tiny armies that I am gradually getting round to painting. Gleefully opening blisters that have remained sealed for years and are considered 'collectors items' I have every intention of painting every single member of my metallic horde, although after a bit of practice of course.

If anyone is interested, please swing by my very new blog to see what's going on. There are only a couple of posts as yet, but there will be much more besides the historical 6mm work that is currently up there, especially a couple of 10mm warmaster armies from some hot new manufacturers.

Thanks for reading and I look forward to exploring the forums!

Your tiny armies look cracking!
It's great to see some love for the wee ones, I see them a lot at the UK shows, but not so much online.

Nice armies you have painted! I really like the work you have put into your pikemen. Will look forward to checking out your blog regularly.

Thanks for the welcome and positive feedback!

I think the idea of painted armies en masse appeals to my inner megalomaniac! I am gradually getting more of the pikemen painted, I've been quite surprised how much longer they take compared to 6mm, but I suppose I am quite a fussy painter.

I'm generally a bit surprised how under represented the smaller scales are, especially in fantasy where so much of the lore and imagery are rooted in huge pitched battles as opposed to skirmishes. Not only that, it's also a bit kinder economically and takes up much less storage in a small family home...... everyone's a winner!

There's a lot of representation at shows, as I said. I always have a peek, even though I don't understand it (or much else if I'm honest). I do like as you say, that you can have a large force in a small space. Sometimes I look at how long I spent painting, and what I achieved, and my heart sinks a little at the scale of the task to amass a large army at 28mm.

Hey, you can get a mod to change your username just FYI. Just PM them and ask nicely. (I hear they like it. )

Ahem. Those are wonderful miniatures! Have you considered making a P+M blog?
