The main reasons I am doing this is in an attempt to keep in touch with the fragmented group of people I game with. Topics will be varied, but these are my main areas of interest. Expect more posts about:
Space Hulk:
I missed the first edition as in the 1980’s 19.99 was too expensive for me. I missed the second edition as I was out drinking for the last half of the 1990’s. I missed the third edition as I was too slow for limited release.
For a while now I have been collecting bits of junk off the internet. I have almost built up enough pieces to play a game. Just need to do a bit of assembling, gluing, painting and so on.
Star Wars:
I played the West End Games roleplaying game from 1987 to about 1995. Although I have found it hard to get into the spirit of roleplaying games, I have a lot of fond memories of the Star Wars geek nights we had.
Other obsessive Star Wars gaming have included;
- PC gaming for X-Wing vs TIE Fighter
- Table top skirmish with WOC miniature’s, although I have never found a rule set I like
- I had a half-baked aspirations to play Star Wars table top skirmish games with LEGO figures and started to collect figures…. Seems to cost about as much as WH40k!
- Star Wars Battlefront on the Xbox, which was a massive thief of time
- And now, the fantastic FFG X-Wing Miniatures game – plenty more bog entries coming around this one
Lord of the Rings:
I have been a fan of Lord of the Rings since being a kid.
Since the movies came out I have been a part-time collector of the Games Workshop figures and rule sets. I am old enough to have owned a few of their figures in the 80s, but now I only have the Peter Jackson era of figures. I also ‘inherited’ a large stash of figures that I will unbox and paint up at some point.
From a painting perspective, I enjoy paint 15mm figures and will post some pictures on here soon.
