About

Hello and welcome.

First thing to know about me and my skills with playing Warhammer 40k is that I am a beginner to the actual game.
However this blog is here to capture my skills as a mini painter, along with my developing skills are a table top gamer.

A little about me...

I first collected Warhammer way back sometime around 2001 when I was 11 years old. Back then a friend got me into collecting as I was amazed by all the models and pieces. What few models I did paint back then, well let's just say they can stay hidden in 2001, and my gaming skills didn't fall short of picking the models up and shouting "pew pew, take that monster!", whilst knocking the others over. Again those shall remain in the past.

So back to the present.

I got a little bored with my time around autumn of 2013 and was wondering past a Games Workshop were I decided to pop in for a look, a craving for nostalgia. It was suggested that I purchase the "Dark Vengeance" box set as way to see if I still wanted to get into it. After a few days mulling it over I caved and thought why the hell not. The money was only going to go on beer at the pub.

There I sat, over a month of painting and gluing, flocking and basing, spraying and stabbing... and they all looked awful.

Now I'm not new to painting or anything "arty". I hold an A Level in Art and Design, I'm practically Van Gough (unappreciated in my time, he he) or something like that. But even with all these wonderful skills I have at painting things that will bring me fame after my death, not even I could be happy with the way my first actual attempt to paint turned out.

After advice from posts in Reddit (r/warhammer and r/warhammer40k) I pulled the spray can back out and went to work on them once more.

And now you have my blog, a collection of my painted models and up coming projects, a look at my newbie army lists and reviews of games where even the Blood God is ashamed of how many of my own skulls are being collected.

Regards,
Dan
