Hi all and merry christmas.
Well were about to end another year and i just thought id let you know about mine.
About 6 months ago i was aware of wargaming as an aside to my own hobby of roleplaying which i have been doing and enjoying for a long long time. But wargaming was always one of those things that looked like it needed far too much effort to get involved in.
Anyway, i started going round to a freinds house a couple of times a week and got involved in playing Arc of Fire with his 20mm ww2 and modern figures. Seemed fun enough yet i wasnt prepaired to spend a load of money on figures, the only figs i was aware of were Games Workshop ones.
I was told about Valient minis so i bought myself a pack of there british tommies and the paints to do them in.
Ive since been playing at least twice a week at my friends house, still with his bits. but i have been working on a 20mm Vietnam Project – US Army ACAV Platoon which is going really well and is almost complete.
I have also a large british army for Secrets of the Third Reich waiting to be painted.
But since then i have been introduced to the world of cheap 1/72 ancient and medieval plastics so im looking at those as well now. Oh and then i found these fun Sci-fi rules called Star Grunt 2. And then there is the 10mm Blitzkrieg Commander stuff due in the post.
Basicaly what i am saying is that this is an amazing and varied hobby which i am glad i have got into. The amount of reading im am having to do is immence as the History i did at school was rubbish and a long time ago.
New project ideas are forever jumping up and saying hello to me :) but i must be strong im trying not to start too many things at once so i can get a project completed and played with.
I have only one annoyance, the Valient Tommies i bought are only half painted, once i got into 20mm properly i noticed they are giants compaired to others in supposedly the same scale.
Anyway :) you all have a very merry christmas and a happy new year
